Mobile phone also adds the capability of multiplayer games on a wifi network or using bluetooth which make it even more interesting. Today, there are tons of games available for mobile phones, atleast for the major platforms like Symbian and Window Mobile. I am not a symbian user which is why i am not mentioning any links here but i am sure it would be easy to search on the web.
Some games which you must have if you are a Window Mobile user …
Call of Duty 2 for pocket PCs and handheld devices is optimized for Intel Corporation’s newest processor family for portable devices (codenamed Monahans) based on third-generation Intel XScale® architecture. Activision’s Call of Duty 2 is an award-winning, intense and cinematic first-person action game that transports gamers to the front lines of World War II.
Multiplayer features:
If you loved Guitar Hero on XBOX 360 then you will definitely like this one. Rock out anytime, anywhere with this rhythm-based, three button game that stays true to the original. Open with 15 jamming tracks, all taken from the Guitar Hero console series.
3. Scrabble
Need i say more? If you love Scrabble or word games in general you will just love having this on your WinMo. Even better play in multiplayer mode using IR beaming.
4. Pac-Man
How can you not have Pac Man on your mobile. The arcade classic can fit in your pocket right and will never let you get bored, the experience is also very close to the original one.
There are many ported versions of Quake for Windows Mobile and one will have to od a quick search to figure out the most recent one. This one is the closest to the actual look and feel on the PC and you can watch the video for more details.Â
Quake is quite an fps intensive game, i feel that the game play will vary from device to device and it will surely be better on mobile phones which use hardware accelaration such as Dell Axiom. This might not give a good experience on many devices.
Thats it for now, watchout this space for more reviews in future.
Came across this really interesting flash based online game, Light Bot which involves managing your robot to light up all the floor tiles in a maze. It slowly teaches you how to create routines for repeated tasks and use functions in an effective manner. Games such as these can be the building blocks to develop programming skills in the younger generation.
Its still an interesting game even if you already know programming.Â
Description (Game published on 2008-09-15)
Programming-style puzzle game. Give commands to your robot to light up the factory. Very soon you will realize though that using the main method on it’s own is not enough and you will have to start creating re-usable functions to achieve the ultimate goal.Instructions
Mouse to drag and drop commands into their slots. To use functions use the F1 and F2 COMMANDS IN THE GAME, not the keys on your keyboard (*facepalm*)
