		<title><![CDATA[ Arcade Park 1.5 - Relive the glory of these classic games! ]]></title>
		<link>http://arcade-park.en.softonic.com/palm</link>
		<description>
				<![CDATA[
				<img src="http://static.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/51000/51555/2_a4.jpg" border="0" align="right" />
					<p>I used to love those bundles of games you could buy for Spectrum, C64, Amiga, etc., where you could pick up four or five classics in the same pack for about 5 bucks. I once even had a Game Boy cartridge with 150 games on it. Arcade Park is a similar affair, this time offering eight top games from yesterday on one download. </p>
<p>The package includes Arcade Ball, Asteroids, Rushman, Digger, Gold Hunter, Galaxy Invaders, Real Tanx and Riverside Assault. You can read detailed descriptions of each of them in the developer's description below, but let me tell you now that each of them is a real classic, and most have been enhanced from theire original form by the introduction of crisp new graphics.</p>
<p>All of the games feature some kind of options for changing game modes, or playing around with the difficulty settings, though disappointly, there's a lack of two-player offerings. As always with these games, there are lots of bonuses and different types of enemies to keep things varied. You also get a hall of fame and records chart for the challenge of getting your name up in lights.</p>
<p><b>If you remember these retro game from back in the day, or even if you don't, Arcade Park makes for an interesting diversion.</b></p>

		<title><![CDATA[ Brixster 1.1 - Eliminate the blocks to reveal the picture ]]></title>
		<link>http://brixster.en.softonic.com/palm</link>
		<description>
				<![CDATA[
				<img src="http://static.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/74000/74265/2_b2.jpg" border="0" align="right" />
					<p>If you're looking for a simple puzzle game to kill some time on the bus then install Brixster onto your Palm.</p>
<p>Brixster is an easy-to-play game where your mission is to reveal the picture behind the grid. You do this by connecting Tetris-style blocks together in order to complete lines. Once you've made a line, the blocks in that row will disappear and a part of the picture behind will be revealed.</p>
<p>Brixster is one of those games you can pick up and start using without really thinking. Moving the pieces is just a matter of tapping on the piece you wish to move then clicking on the space you wish to insert that block.</p>
<p>That's about it really. There aren't any options or settings to speak of, and you simply proceed through increasing levels of difficulty. Unfortunately the demo version of Brixster is quite limited, and you can only play a maximum of five levels before the trial runs out.</p>
<p><b>Nevertheless, if you want a quick-fix of puzzle action, Brixster provides an amusing diversion.</b></p>

		<title><![CDATA[ Westward 1.00 - Wild West strategy adventure ]]></title>
		<link>http://westward.en.softonic.com/palm</link>
		<description>
				<![CDATA[
				<img src="http://static.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/69000/69347/2_w4.jpg" border="0" align="right" />
					<p>If John Wayne were still alive today, Westward would undoubtedly be his mobile game of choice for long bus journeys (or wagon trips, come to think of it).</p>
<p>Westward sees you face the challenge of controlling the Wild West, by building booming towns, exploring unchartered plains, guiding settlers to success, and protecting citizens from outlaws. The game boasts four different locations, with more than 20 levels to explore.</p>
<p>Westward starts with a tutorial level, where a teacher guides you through the process of discovering new lands, fighting bandits, harvesting food and water, and building houses, farms and factories. The controls are well explained and it's pretty easy to pick up the basics from these tutorials. </p>
<p>I like the way that Westward doesn't try to tie you to playing as one character. All of the citizens, sheriffs and deputies can be controlled independently of each other, and the challenge of the game lies in utilizing each one to their full potential. </p>
<p>Like many strategy games, Westward always displays the current tasks that you need to work on, and once you've achieved a mission, a new one pops up straight away. This makes it a game that's awfully hard to put down, because the temptation of playing "just one more mission" is tough to resist.</p>
<p>In terms of its presentation, Westward looks and sounds great with some lovely attention to detail. The background music is typical of those old western movie soundtracks and there are some realistic sound effects. Although the game's graphics are incredibly detailed, I found them just a little bit too small for viewing on a mobile device. What's more, the animation is a little slow and you seem to spend a lot of time waiting for characters to move from one place to another.</p>
<p><b>Overall though, Westward makes for a rip-roaring, gun-slinging, mobile adventure that's very difficult to put down.</b></p>

		<title><![CDATA[ Smashed Screen - Simulate a broken screen on your Palm ]]></title>
		<link>http://smashed-screen.en.softonic.com/palm</link>
		<description>
				<![CDATA[
				<img src="http://static.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/55000/55998/2_smashedscreen_1.jpg" border="0" align="right" />
					<p>If you're the kind of cheeky prankster who loves winding up your friends then Smashed Screen could be the perfect download for your Palm.</p>
<p>The app basically loads an image of a damaged screen onto your Palm display, giving the impression that your device has actually been ruined. Click on the Home icon though, and the smashed screen will disappear, and your system will be 'magically' restored.</p>
<p>Granted, Smashed Screen is a bit of a cheap joke and it's not the sort of thing you'd keep installed on your device for too long. However, the illusion is very effective and might help you raise a chuckle or two.</p>
<p><b>Frankly though, if you're installing applications like Smashed Screen you must have far too much time on your hands.</b></p>

		<title><![CDATA[ 3D Mines 1.2 - Innovative minesweeper-style game ]]></title>
		<link>http://3d-mines.en.softonic.com/palm</link>
		<description>
				<![CDATA[
				<img src="http://static.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/46000/46939/2_3d1.jpg" border="0" align="right" />
					<p>Minesweeper is one of the all-time classic PC timewasters, and 3D Mines adds literally a whole new dimension to the game.</p>
<p>3D Mines is based around the same principle as the original game, which, of course, comes packaged with Windows. The objective is basically the same (i.e. to clear the minefield without blowing a mine) only this time the board is three dimensional. </p>
<p>The controls in 3D Mines are really simple. You just tap on one of the squares to reveal how many mines surround that one. Remember though that this time, this number represents mines that may be above or beneath this square, rather than just to the side of it. You can move the 3D board very easily by clicking and dragging it around and the animation is pretty smooth.</p>
<p>As with Minesweeper, 3D Mines is great fun to play and more than a little addictive to boot. What's more, the game is highly customizable - there are several different minefield shapes to choose from, and you can also set the dimension, the mine density and the spike density.</p>
<p>The graphics in 3D Mines aren't exactly ground-breaking and I felt the overall presentation could do with a bit of a polish. There's no sound in the game either.</p>
<p><b>That said, 3D Mines represents an enjoyable new twist on an old favorite.</b></p>

		<title><![CDATA[ Simple Spider Solitaire 2.0 - Challenging version of Solitaire ]]></title>
		<link>http://simple-spider-solitaire.en.softonic.com/palm</link>
		<description>
				<![CDATA[
				<img src="http://static.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/40000/40154/2_SimpleSpider-19.jpg" border="0" align="right" />
					<p>Simple Spider Solitaire is a Palm version of one of the more popular two-deck card games around, which you may have played in Windows XP or Vista. </p>
<p>The main aim of Simple Spider Solitaire is to remove all of the cards from the tableau. The cards are dealt into 10 piles, face down apart from the top card. You must then assemble piles running down by rank or in-suit sequence in order to clear the tableau. You can use spaces but they can only be filled with groups of 13 cards in sequence headed by a King.</p>
<p>Never having played this one before, I found Simple Spider Solitaire quite confusing to start with. Luckily, there is a comprehensive help system, and Simple Spider Solitaire will even show you the cards that can be moved.</p>
<p>What I loved about Simple Spider Solitaire is the sheer range of options in it. Not only can you customize the theme of the deck, but you can also pick from a huge array of game settings, from game style options to which tools are available from the toolbar. There's also a statistics menu, where you can view basic stats about your performance over time.</p>
<p><b>It might take you a while to get used to the rules, but overall Simple Spider Solitaire makes for an enjoyable and well presented Solitaire game.</b></p>

				<![CDATA[
				<img src="http://static.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/73000/73265/2_VegasPoolSharks-JME-7.jpg" border="0" align="right" />
					<p>Pool is one of those games that you think you're going to be really good at until you step up to the table and realize that it's actually much tougher than it looks. </p>
<p>Vegas Pool Sharks gives you the chance to hone your skills in the hustlers' playground that is Las Vegas. You'll get a chance to fleece money from some of the most canny players in the casino. Alternatively you might lose your house.</p>
<p>Vegas Pool Sharks sees you compete against four different computer opponents who vary in their level of skill. I would've liked to have seen a few more characters just to add a bit more variety, but there are three different game modes to help you mix things up a bit. </p>
<p>Vegas Pool Sharks boasts some surprisingly accurate ball physics making it a fairly realistic pool simulation for a mobile device. The 3D views are great and you can zoom in and out or tilt the angle of your cue fairly smoothly. Thanks to some helpful aiming hints it should be quite easy for you to get to grips with Vegas Pool Sharks.</p>
<p><b>Although it lacks the all-important two player mode, Vegas Pool Sharks is a fairly accurate pool simulation that will keep you amused for some time.</b></p>

		<link>http://platypus.en.softonic.com/palm</link>
		<description>
				<![CDATA[
				<img src="http://static.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/70000/70642/2_platypuspalm3.jpg" border="0" align="right" />
					<p>Being a big fan of the Wallace and Gromit series of films, I've always dreamed of living in a world made of clay. Now my dreams have been realized thanks to Platypus.</p>
<p>You assume the role of an orange flying craft that must save the country of Mungola by blasting the evil enemy invaders out of the sky. Essentially, it's a side-scrolling shooter but with one difference - everything is made from clay.</p>
<p>The graphics in Platypus are like none you'll have seen before. Because all of the elements were actually made from clay and digital captured, it makes for some truly stunning viewing. The animation is pretty slick too, and the splatting explosion effects are some of the best I've seen anywhere. The high-octane sound effects are impressive too and really help to set your pulse racing.</p>
<p>While the visuals in platypus are innovative and unique, unfortunately the gameplay is much the same as your average shooter, and after a while the process of blasting everything that slides across the screen becomes somewhat mundane. There is some stuff to collect and a few power-ups to improve your ship, which adds a little more life to this game.</p>
<p>In terms of options, you can adjust the sound and music volume, rotate the screen, and view high scores, but there's no facility for setting your own game controls.</p>
<p><b>You'll be blown away by the graphics but once the novelty of this has worn off you'll realize that Platypus plays like any other run-of-the-mill arcade shooter.</b></p>

				<img src="http://static.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/26000/26763/2_insaniquariumdlx_screenshot_320x320_03.jpg" border="0" align="right" />
					<p>They say that keeping fish is a relaxing stress-reliever. Well, install Insaniquarium and you may disagree with this theory.</p>
<p>Insaniquarium is a colorful game in which you must keep a tank of fish thriving. You need to feed the fish regularly by tapping on them to release a flake of food. You'll know when they get hungry because they turn green. This is more difficult than it sounds because the fish in Insaniquarium are a greedy bunch and they often cluster together, making it hard to single one out for a dose of food. </p>
<p>There's plenty more to Insaniquarium than just feeding hungry mouths. Along the way, you'll have to collect coins to buy new fish, better food, and even weapons, which you'll need to defeat the alien intruders that come along from time-to-time.</p>
<p>Insaniquarium may be a little strange but it's actually a pretty decent game. There are four different game modes to keep you occupied and the graphics and sound effects are quite amusing, even if the music gets a bit annoying.</p>
<p><b>Insaniquarium provides an interesting diversion for any fish fanatics out there.</b></p>

		<description>
				<![CDATA[
				<img src="http://static.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/40000/40730/2_life1.jpg" border="0" align="right" />
					<p>Back in 1970 a Cambridge mathematician called John Conway invented a 'game' called The Game of Life, based around cellular automation. Almost 40 years later, and his invention is now available on the Palm in the shape of LifeGame.</p>
<p>The basic premise of the Game of Life, and also LifeGame, sees life played out on a grid of square cells. A cell can be 'alive' or 'dead' as time goes by. A dead cell with exactly three neighbors becomes a live cell, which is known as the 'birth'. A live cell with two or three neighbors survives. In all other cases a cell dies or remains dead.</p>
<p>What you can do in LifeGame is create patterns and select pre-made patterns of cells and put them into 'battle' with each other. You simply choose the cell formations you want in both the blue and the red boxes then hit the 'Game' button and LifeGame will initiate the movement of the pieces before your eyes. The cell formation with the most individual cells left at the end is declared the winner.</p>
<p>LifeGame is not your average Palm game. There's no action, little human interaction and it's not very well presented. It's an interesting representation of the Game of Life though, for those who are into that kind of thing.</p>
<p><b>LifeGame may interesting if you like math, but I found no excitement in it whatsoever.</b></p>

		<title><![CDATA[ Nicky Boom 1.1 - Help Nicky Boom find his grandfather ]]></title>

					<p>The early nineties were something of a boom-time for platform games. Titles like Wonderboy, Alex Kidd and Nicky Boom all featured heroic boys on a quest to save their world.</p>
<p>Nicky Boom, a popular hit on the Amiga back in 1993, has now been ported to mobile devices, and recreates the magic of the original very well. The outline of the story is that Nicky's grandfather has been captured by the evil witch Zoldrane, who wants to steal his secrets. Nicky Boom must get to his granddad by traversing a series of perilous levels, conquering all the various creatures that Zoldrane has turned into her dastardly army.</p>
<p>Nicky Boom proves to be a really fun platform romp that brings the memories of those childhood days spent smashing snails and beating up beetles flooding back. Just like the original, the mobile version of Nicky Boom offers huge worlds to explore, secret areas to unlock, and power-ups and weapons to collect along the way.</p>
<p>The graphics in Nicky Boom are pretty good, although I was a bit disappointed by the rendering of the main character. Due to the way the sprite is drawn he's often difficult to spot against red or orange backgrounds, which can become annoying. The backgrounds are nice though and there's a diverse array of imaginative baddies to battle along the way.</p>
<p><b>There's plenty of fun to be had with Nicky Boom, and it's pretty in-depth for a mobile title.</b></p>

		<title><![CDATA[ Duck Hunt 1.05 - Shoot the ducks to score points ]]></title>

					<p>One of the first games I played on the Nintendo NES was Duck Hunt. Many an evening was spent with a blaster in my hand aiming at pixelated fowl on the TV.</p>
<p>Now you can recreate those halcyon days on your Palm thanks to this new version of Duck Hunt. The game sees you take on the role of a hunter, shooting down as many drakes as you can within the three minute time limit. The more ducks you kill, the more your score.</p>
<p>Duck Hunt is a simple concept with a simple control system. All you need to do is tap the ducks with your stylus as they fly past the screen. You'll need to reload your ammo after so many shots by clicking on the 'Reload' button in the bottom corner. Be careful not to hit the precious red pigbirds or the fishermen, or you will lose points.</p>
<p>The graphics and music in Duck Hunt are great fun and the gameplay is pretty addictive. The only drawback is that the game becomes quite repetitive after a while. The backgrounds change as you progress through Duck Hunt, but there's little variety in the terms of the targets or the gameplay.</p>
<p><b>Duck Hunt is very well presented and it's amusing diversion for a while, but there's little diversity to keep you coming back to the game.</b></p>

		<title><![CDATA[ Crazy Daisy 1.10 - Spin the flowers to join the petals ]]></title>

					<p>Normally my macho image would prevent me from playing games based around joining flower petals together. However, once I tried out Crazy Daisy I found it quite difficult to put down.</p>
<p>The object of Crazy Daisy is to spin the seven flowers around in order to join up matching-colored petals. When a connection of petals of the same color is made the petals then pop away and you reap the benefits of a whole bunch of points.</p>
<p>It's a very simple game to control and yet Crazy Daisy is remarkably absorbing. The process of spinning the flowers puts you into a kind-of dreamlike state where you don't really have to think about what you're doing - just watch the petals fall off the flowers and listen to the cute noises they make. There are three game modes to try in Crazy Daisy, and you can export your high scores to share with friends.</p>
<p>For this reason Crazy Daisy is a good time-waster, however, perhaps the more hardcore gamers will be put off by its overly-cute graphics and sounds and the repetitive nature of the gameplay.</p>
<p><b>Still, Crazy Daisy represents a good way to kill some time on a long bus journey.</b></p>
