I enjoy a nice round of chess.  When it’s inconvenient to have pieces out on an actual wooden board, why not just play on BlackBerry?  Odesys Chess for BlackBerry is definitely one of the best chess experiences I have seen via mobile. One thing which drew me to this game was it has a online multiplayer function. Its nice to go online and lose to another human instead of getting beat by a computer. The graphics are simple yet because of this i think it looks good, no trying to make the queen look like something she is not!

Game Features:

• Online gaming (FICS) client
• Advanced AI engine
• 8 levels of difficulty
• 2-player mode
• Highly intuitive user interface
• Save game on exit
• Deep Undo/Redo
• Sound
• Animated pieces motion.

You have to register online to play rated games, this is easy enough but you can also play as a guest. I also found their was always people online waiting to play you. The animated piece motion is also good as if you like me when you thinking too hard you don’t always remember the last move made. If you like chess this is a game for you. Odesys Chess is available for $4.99.

As tweeted last night on @PocketBerry, I went ahead and downloaded Fun Park Tycoon for BlackBerry and promised to give you guys my input.  In best hopes, you all know about Tycoon games and the game style so we don’t have to get into that.  Fun Park Tycoon allows you to build a whole theme park and maintain every aspect of it.  Feel free to build rides, arcades, benches, ice cream stands and much more.  The thing that pissed me off was that the description of the game is completely wrong and advertises it as a pizzeria management game.  Any way, to get back to the game, it is very addictive.

I know, it’s like we’re going on a gaming marathon today, but we can’t help but share with you the best of BlackBerry.  Before we get you all souped for the game, make sure you have 5MB of free storage on your BlackBerry.  Yes 5MB, I don’t know why.  The game is very much 3D and I’m sure you can all appreciate that as it’s been very two dimensional playing most of these BlackBerry games out there.  Unless of course you’re on a Storm2 with OpenGL capability.  We are proud to announce Zombie Attack for BlackBerry which has been created by the same folks who just released Cliffed.

So any way, Zombie Attack is a really fun game, that you’ll wish you could play it on a bigger screen even on a PlayStation platform.  In this game, you’ll play as a survivor of the ultimate Zombie Apocalypse, strategically place weapons turrets to protect your shack and stay alive.  So basically Zombie Attack is a tower defense type of game where you’ll have to defend and protect your spot as zombies come up from all over around you.
