Word Blast is a game in need of some game mechanics

It starts off looking rather familiar – a big grid of tiles, and you can swap over two of them to try and make something.

But it never delivers on that promise. Why? Read on at All About Symbian.

Airwolf, Blue Thunder or SF Cave? Hell Copter flies to Symbian

AAS Review: One of the most addictive games I’ve ever played was on Palm OS. SF Cave was a one button game, where you had to guide a ribbon through a cave with ever increasing complexity. I loved it so much, I coded it for Symbian back in the days of the Nokia 9210 (here it is, scoring a glorious 70). It would be fair to say that Hell Copter is from the same mould as SF Cave. Will it soar in my heart, or crash to the ground?

My All About Symbian review: Draw Slasher got my attention the second I saw the help screen.

Stick Don’t Stop Me Now on the jukebox and let’s find out.
