One of the most important aspect you always have to consider when you are out to a picnic or visiting a friend is the weather. Frequently, it is the weather that cancels the baseball or cricket matches in the big stadiums and you always have to suffer by getting wet under the rain because in spite of everything, you did reach to the stadium premises to watch the big match. Or consider a situation that you are really tight on schedule and you are heading to work cause you have to attend an important meeting with the top management of your company where you will have to present the new ideas through a projector. You dress up in the most pitch perfect way possible and the moment you step outside, rain starts to fall like it is the end of the world!! Gone are the days of such misery because with your Nokia handhelds in your pocket and a little bit of help from the 3G or EDGE Gprs connectivity, you will be able to get the latest updates of what is going to happen around the place you live in or have to travel right through. Thus it is always said that weather services are the most important value added services for mobile phones users or for them who spends a lot of time traveling! Read the full story

Greetings occupants!  Today I am going to publish a N-Gage based, much hyped and talked about smartphones & handhelds mobile game. While we are all more or less fan of the lightsaber code of fighting, there are still a few who hates it. For those who do not know what I am talking about or what lightsaber means, lightsaber is the weapon of choice in all the sequels of Star Wars. And now, your N-gage based platform will have another reason to live up to your expectation and maybe even beyond with this follow up sequel, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for Nokia cell phones, specially those mobile handhelds with N-Gage 2.0 or 1.0 compatibility. Read the full story

“My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance in this life or the next” ….do you remember these lines? Yes that was Russel Crowe from the Oscar winning movie, The Gladiator! While that movie is ageless and will always have a place in our heart we all thought that it was over. But, it is not! On your smartphones and handhelds, Maximus is back to raise hell once again and his fate depends on how good you are. Gladiator The Mobile Game combines heart pounding emblem of harmony and music from the age of Mozart and with today’s most sophisticated, state-of-the-art graphic details on your symbian S60 and S40 Nokia and Sony Ericsson mobile computing handheld devices.

The game serves you with nine individual characters who are adopted straight from actual movie. They each possess unique moves which are their specialty and they each have a weapon of their choice. Every time you hit your opponent with a death hard strike, the blood spills out from him and it simply looks like that the movie is running on your cell phone’s screen while you are the director. This high definition 3D mobile phone game ensures the very best of game engine that really have an impressive all over performance. The camera view during the game play is 360 degree, meaning you can actually rotate the entire screen the way you see fit for you smartphones. Action games are always well respected in the Nokia software market and this one is no different.

The control set up is really simple and straightforward and it should not take you more than two or three straight fights before you get a good hold of the special moves for this mobile java game. There is a nice “lifeline” bar which reduces every time you are being hit by the enemy and it takes quite a while to actually die in this game. The gameplay becomes more and more difficult with every stage you advance to and odds will stack up against you. I know that you will be the Spaniard in the game for obvious reasons but what if you could face another gladiator of the same caliber in the Coliseum of Rome? Will that make it hard to win for you? Guess what, that is exactly what this Nokia mobile game offers to you.

Multiplayer! Yes, with your latest camera phones A2DP bluetooth switched on you can play against your friends and destroy him for good! The multiplayer feature is really one hell of an addition to this game and surely will be best used on N-gage and N-Series multimedia computers or cell phones. The game play is not affected in any way when you switch on this feature and since the size of this game is not really huge, you can be sure that your phone will run it smoothly. You can choose to play in three different modes including a quick fight, a career mode and the most exciting survival mode. In quick play you can simply pick an opponent, no matter who or how difficult they are and fight them straight without any delay. Not really the best part of this symbian 3rd edition game is the career mode though and to be frank it is quite easy after you have played it two or three times. The story you are given is exactly a copy of the feature movie however the dialouges are really well thought of. They are quite compelling and is what made this mobile game really stand out.

The best and most hard to play is the survival mode where you are given only one shot to defeat all of the remaining gladiators. When you finish one, the next one pops up with fresh energy pumping in their vein while your fatigue remains still the same. The more you progress the more impossible it becomes to defeat the opponents and before you reach to Commodus. All in all, the survival mode is really the most coolest part of this game and although it is hard to play well in that mode, but it is surely worth it. After all, to be the man you have to beat the men!

With time and progression you will be able to adapt the best possible moves and tricks. You also have the option to learn how t dodge which really will come handy when you are playing the Survival mode. The game is truly amazing and quite compelling and anyone who have seen the movie will be an instant fan of the game for sure. Even those of you who haven’t, I am sure you will still like it even if for the graphics, sound and overall gameplay. Batman Mobile: The Dark Knight was not anything like this one even though just like this one, Dark Knight was also a movie based cell phones game.

Here is the trailer of this awesome mobile software & game:

…Because life never gives you a second chance! Na’ah not true because with this post you will get a second chance! This is 2008 and it couldn’t get any more exciting than it already is, is that what you thought? You haven’t got a clue because this game is all about a second chance and this game is all about winning, time after time, games after games and penalties after penalties! You got me for sure, FIFA 2008 it is. Did you know that football is the world’s most played and watched game? No matter if you are a fan of Christiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Lionel Messi, Kaka, or Thierry Henry, you now have the chance to put on there adidas boots, the respective football club’s legendary jerseys, get on the field to defeat your rivals and clinch the title of the year to be the club champions of the world in 2008. It is all about success in 2008 and this is what this game of football is all about.

You have the choice to play quick symbian football games or in a career based mode where you have to choose a club and play in the league games, win the league games and it’s not over because simultaneously you have to be getting your club qualified for the UEFA international club championships. Not only that, this game of mobile football brings much more than any other versions released so far. It has injuries, night play mode with floodlights, the yellow cards and even the red cards. If you start your run too early you are risking to get your on the offside and be pulled back by the dreaded whistle of the referee. As you play on the career mode and win games, your overall points improve and so does your overall stats. The more you win the more your fatigue gets you and the slower the player becomes when taking a long sprint. You have to learn the art of balancing between everything that you have, if you overwork your players then you will suffer in the next game with the same players because maybe only after the first half of the game they will give up on you.

The best strategy in the career mode according to me is to pick up some young players either via club transfers or scouting. Both have their merits and demerits. In club transfers the players are usually more rich in terms of gameplay and stats but they do not come cheap for the transfer. Most of them are actually already playing the most prestigious clubs including Manchester United, AC Milan, Barcelona, Bayern Munich etc and wouldn’t want to switch in the first place. However if you have enough cash and do manage to buy a young superstar like Rooney or Messi or even Torres, then you have flexibility to make them your front line force from the get go. If you acquire young players through scouting then you have the freedom of buying them cheap, most players are good as a long term investment but almost none of them can be your front line players from the next match. Just use the transfer season wisely, that sure is all!

In this mobile game of Football 08 (or soccer for some of you) you can configure your keys accordingly with your phone. Most widescreen phone needs to do that bit of customizing because, by default, the game is designed for vertical screen phones of Nokia. Only possible to play on the 3rd edition symbian phones, this game is sure worth the wait. The atmospheric sound effects are quite exclusive and I must admit that I haven’t heard this much details and clarity in any symbian games. If you are on a N-Gage or something of a pda styled symbian phone, then this game is a dream come true mainly because of the extremely detailed, excellent and entertaining graphics. Of course all other Nokia symbian cell phones and handsets can play that mode but I personally think the full package is the best for high end gaming devices of Nokia. The graphics and overall gameplay is quite detailed for a smartphones based game and is surely something to watch out. The best part of the game is the gameplay and the overall experience and if you haven’t played it yet, you are missing out a lot!

Almost all major wireless network carriers are supported including Orange Mobile UK, Virgin Mobile, Hutch, Telstra, Telenor, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, AT&T Wireless, Sprint, Rogers, Digi, Airtel, Orascom, Cingular and a lot more. All 3rd edition E-Series and N-Series based smart phones are supported including the Nokia N95, N78, N96, N91, N92, N93, N-Gage, 3250, 6600 Slide, 6290, E65, E50, E51, Prism, 8800, Luna, Sapphire, 7360, E90, 6300, E60, E61, E62, E70, E71, E66, N73, N80, N81, N82, N76, N75, 6110, 6120, 5700, 5710 Xpress Music, N95 8gb, 6121 etc and many more.

Heath Ledger was born for this role, period! Most definitely my top three movies of all time is the spectacular and recently released Batman: The Dark Knight. I can’t tell you how much I liked the Heath Ledger’s phenomenal and quite unbelievable acting in this record breaking, chart topping, money making, thrice the oscar level movie. If Joker do not get an Oscar for the Dark Knight then the Oscar is worthless. In IMDB (Internet Movie Database) Batman: The Dark Knight went up over the Godfather to snatch the first place of the best 250 movies of all time. When it was first released, I honestly must admit that I thought it’s the overall superhero hype that was going on with Joker. But man oh man was I wrong! It’s really quite sick that the guy is really dead cause I tell ya, Heath Ledger was born for this role of the Joker!!

“Hahahahaha!!! Batman you flying rodent!!”

Anyway, back to the topic and after watching the movie I couldn’t wait to play the movie based game of Batman, The Dark Knight mobile game which was released earlier. This Nokia game is quite fun in one word but I really would love it better if I could be the Joker in the game cause I really would love to squash Batman under my clown-ish shoes. Lol. It only allows you play as Batman himself and you have to get out of the sticky situations by fighting your way out by using the senses that you have developed. The overall fiery, cartoon like graphics really suits the game well and makes it even more fun. Everytime you perform a heavy punch either a “Splat!!” or “Thud” or “Smash” pops up which I really liked about this themed mobile game. The game have that old comic thing going on pretty well I must say but the overall storyline is almost the same as movies. The navigational controls are quite easy and none of the Nokia 3rd edition or 2nd edition phones of almost all screen resolutions will have no problem whatsoever playing it. There is also a constant “life left” bar that shows up on all your enemies and it helps you assess your moves better in situations when you have multiple punks surrounding you and trying to make a show out of it. You get to fight behind the glass panes where the famous poster was shot and you also get to fight the enemies on the roof tops, behind walls and in places exactly like in the motion picture. You can use your gadgets, go in stealth mode or simply punch your way to the Joker to finish the game.

This game is compatible with all the symbian based S40 and S60 smartphones of E-Series and N-Series Nokia like I mentioned earlier. All 3rd edition devices with the Symbian OS 9.1 and 9.2 like the famous Nokia N96, N95, N91, N92, N76, N77, N80, N81, N82, N78, N73, N71, N75, E50, E90, E60, E70, 3250, 6600 Slide, E71, E66, Xpress Music 5700, 5200, 5300, 5710, 5210, E65, E62, E61, E51, 6120, 6121, 6210, 7360, 8800, 6300, 6290, 6110, Luna, Arte, Prism, etc are all well supported. All 2nd edition handsets like N70, N72, 6680, 6681, 3230, etc will also be able to run it with ease. GSM network carriers like AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile, Hutch, Sprint, Verizon Wireless, Vodafone, Vodacom, Digi, Telstra, Orange Mobile UK, Rogers, Cingular, Airtel, Telenor etc should be able to support it as well. This game is really worth the attention mainly because of the movie and for a motion picture based game it is much better than any other similar symbian games. You will love to play it specially if you have seen the movie but for those who haven’t seen the movie, well see that first and then play to to enjoy the mobile game to the fullest. Please do subscribe to the RSS feed before anything as subscription is free and keeps you updated with my latest releases. I am also thinking of making a Dark Knight Batman and Joker based symbian theme soon, will see how it goes though.

“Hahahahahaha!!! Why so serious?? It’s all part of the plan…. Hahahahahaha!!! Now let’s put a smile on that face shall we? After all we are tonight’s entertainment…. Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order… well then everyone loses their heads…. Hahahahahahaha…”. - The Joker. * …takes a bow most graciously… *
