Make War Not Love In Battle for Orion's Belt
Great Features in Battle for Orion's Belt
I probably really enjoy Battle for Orion's Belt and get totally immersed in it, because of the cool features like the fighting machine with the weapons, crazy speed and cool armor. And it's me who has to customize the ship to create this machine. There are all sorts of different things one can do to personalize their ship - and you have to try and figure out which will give you the best advantage when you're in the midst of battle. There are missiles (that are great enemy trackers), an electro-magnetic pulse which can knock out all the ships that are coming closer to you. There are other options too so it's up to you to really use your analytical skills to determine which will be the most helpful in this battle.
There really are a ton of different options to choose in Battle for Orion's Belt; so I find that the more I play, the more understanding I develop of how helpful (or not so helpful) they are going to be.

Get Thrilled by Bounce Out!
The only type of computer and mobile games I really get a kick out of are the puzzle and strategy ones that make you keep coming back and always wanting more. I guess my favorite of these on line (I have now downloaded it to my mac I like it so much) is Bubbleshooter. So when I was looking for fun mobile games to download to my cell phone I was excited to see its twin in the name of Bounce Out! Bounce Out is everything I get from Bubbleshooter with a whole lot more! And now I never have to stop my game because of its great mobility on my mobile phone! What more could anyone ask for?
You really do come back for more and then more and more with Bounce Out. What it is, is a whole lot of different colored balls on the screen. You get one of these colored balls to Bounce Out on all those balls and the goal is to aim that color at a group of at least 2 other balls of the same color to knock them out and ultimately clear the screen. Beware though; when there are hard to reach colored balls on the screen it is almost impossible to make the shot and then more balls appear (as opposed to you clearing the balls!). It is a fast and furious game; just how I like it and you will be more alert than ever as you try to beat the game!
I guess my best feature (that you do not get with Bubbleshooter) is the fuse. Because the fuse is lit on the ball and your aim is to knock out the colored balls, you have to go really fast so that you do not light it (and hence lose). That just adds excitement to the game and I now play it whenever I am waiting around and then I do not want to stop! Fun, fun, fun all the way!

Gameloft Solitaire Is So Cool!
I had played solitaire before on my computer, while awaiting new tasks from my boss, so I guess that was why I downloaded the solitaire version on to my mobile phone. But I got way more than I ever expected with this cool version of solitaire. It was funny comparing the solitaire of those work days to the solitaire I play now. They were so different even though the basic principle remained the same. But also, it is much more than computer solitaire as it comes with 4 games (including freecell, pyramid and golf) so it really is more than just solitaire!
With Gameloft solitaire you can either play for dollars or solve the deal as fast as possible. Either way it is a lot of fun and you just always want to come back for more. It works really well for me as there are certain times during the day that I have a lot of time to kill but I am not near a computer. Gameloft solitaire is also extremely user friendly; you only need one thumb to control all the keys so it leaves you with one hand free to do everything else, while you wait your next task or appointment of the day. And no matter how experienced (or not) you are in solitaire, with Gameloft solitaire you can find your level as there is something for everyone. So that is some of the reasons why I am so glad I bought Gameloft solitaire!

Pick Up a Penguin With Fun Mobile Games
A little while after I saw that really cool documentary about the lives and struggles of penguins, I got really into learning as much as I could about these cool, cute, dangerously near-extinct little (or rather quite large) animals. So I was quite delighted to find that I could play a fun mobile game that featured my penguin friends. When I downloaded Puzzle Penguin however, I had no idea that I would really be able to enjoy the black and white animals with such vivid graphics as this game provides - and certainly not through such a small device as my miniature mobile phone! But that's exactly what I'm able to do!
At Puzzle Penguin I'm able to guide my little friend Puck through all these different fun mazes. And the weird thing is, I was never any good at those mazes my parents used to take us to as kids. Somehow on line (or on the mobile phone) I seem to have honed my skills. Or maybe it's just because I'm 20 years older! Either way it's a lot more fun than frustrating, even though Puzzle Penguin can be a real challenge too.
I like the whole Puzzle Penguin though because I feel like we're going straight in to their mode of living when you have to push the ice blocks on to the heating elements so you can clear a path for them. Maybe that's the kind of thing the penguins have to do (in some form or another) in their real every day life. Well I like to think when I'm playing Puzzle Penguin that I'm getting a taste of some of their challenges. Because when you play these fun mobile games that are so graphically rich, you really do feel like you're doing it for real - especially with Puzzle Penguin!

Play Fun Cards With Jewel Quest Solitaire
If you have ever liked the old solitaire card game, then you will simply love Jewel Quest Solitaire that you can play any time, any place, once you have downloaded it on to your mobile phone. Jewel Quest Solitaire is so much more than just Solitaire (although it is that as well). Jewel Quest Solitaire has much more of an exciting, safari feel to it, with its quite mystical jeweled deck of cool and wild cards. Indeed, you actually feel as if you could even be on safari or somewhere cool like Mexico while playing Jewel Quest Solitaire. Players first get to play through more than 30 different card layouts while they seek to unlock the confusing and exciting Jewel Quest board at the same time. While they do this, they get to see a whole load of ancient secrets of the jungle city revealed. And at the same time, if you're really lucky (and successful) at Jewel Quest Solitaire, you get to make treasure, turning regular sand in to gold! What players have to do in Jewel Quest Solitaire is move all the cards (that originally start on the layout) on to the foundation pile. Any face up card that is either a rank lower or higher than the card on the foundation pile can be played. And once you have completed this level (moving all the cards to the foundation pile) the game gets even more exciting as you get to play a Jewel Quest Solitaire mini game using all the jewels you have collected. (Hence the more jewels you collect in the first level, the better off you'll be in this level.) And your goal in this part of the game is to make as many of the squares go gold as possible. Use the 2 button to move up, and down, 8 to move left; 4 to move right and 6 to select the card; 5 to select the jewel. As you will find from just your first game of Jewel Quest Solitaire, this is so much more than just a game of mobile phone solitaire. And so much more excitement and graphically pleasing too.

Get The Best Cards With Jamdat Solitaire
No matter how many times I played Solitaire in the old days with my grandma, none of it prepared me for the fun and excitement, and indeed challenge, of Jamdat Solitaire. And it is so much faster playing it on the mobile too; you do not even have to waste time shuffling!
Whatever you skill at Solitaire, you will find an appropriate level to play in Jamdat Solitaire that will challenge but not frustrate you. Apart from varying skill levels, there are different types of Solitaire (that I had certainly never come across in the regular hand held card game). If you need to review the menu again in the middle of the game, press the Control key and it will appear.
Once the game has loaded you will see the main menu and for a regular game of Solitaire, just hit the Solitaire button and press Select. For something a bit more challenging, go for Runaround in which players have to take away the cards that are either 1 point higher or lower than the ones at the bottom of the screen. It is easy to maneuver the cards; you just have to press the number or symbol on your keypad that is net to the card you wish to remove from the board.
The game option Two Close requires you to take any two cards (equal or sequential value) and remove them from the board. The aim is to remove all the cards from the board in pairs (removing them in the same way as described above in Runaround).
With Take 20 you are removing 2 or more cards which equal 20 together from the board, by highlighting those cards and removing them in the same way.
The aim of Jamdat Solitaire in its standard version is the same as regular solitaire; the player has to get all the cards lined up in their 4 separate suits and move them (in this game) to the bottom right hand side of the screen. You begin with the Ace and work your way up (2, 3, etc.) until you reach the King at which point you win the game. Moving cards or stacks on the phone is done via the correlating number on your mobile phone keypad and with a stack you can double click it to pull a card over to it.
