Take Care of Virtual Bear
Remember the days when you were small and you had a little teddy bear that went everywhere with you and comforted you when you were sad? I remember it well. I had Tony the Teddy Bear and I used to cry in to his chest and play with him and sleep with him held tight. He was a real source of comfort. In fact, even now, aged 32, I still have him with me. Tony has helped me through many a crisis. Well, when I saw that I could purchase Virtual Bear for my mobile phone, I jumped at the chance. I guess it was for personal, nostalgic reasons initially. This virtual bear that you have to take care of, reminded me exactly of Tony. He looked just like him but without the weird smile. The weird smile was good for me though; it just made me laugh.
Feel Maternal Taking Care of Virtual Bear
With Virtual Bear on my mobile phone, all my 'maternal instincts' came out. I knew I had to be on top of it as it were at all times. There were times I had to feed it, clothe it, train it and even play with it, just like I guess one does with a real child. And I got really in to it. It felt good because I knew it was counting on me. In fact with Virtual Bear, if you do not do all these things it will die! It is almost like it can die of a broken heart if it is not loved in the way it is meant to be. It may a little too realistic for some, but I had fun playing 'mother' to Virtual Bear.

Make Your Worms Fight Well In Worms 07
If you ever liked the worm game, then you will simply love Worms 07. It's so much more fun than the old worms games which now, in retrospect, look to be so basic. Worms were indeed one of the first games to hit the screens and it was somewhat of a boring game. But I guess worms have come on in leaps and bounds since those times because with Worms 07 it's almost nothing like the original version of the game. In fact you wouldn't even know the two ever had anything in common. The aim of Worms 07 is pretty much a battle one. Worms 07 is a bit like battle of the fittest. You're like the head worm (leading a bunch of other worms). What you have to do is attack the other worms (your opponents) so that they get smashed to worm smithereens and basically destroyed. And you get all sorts of things along the way which are supposed to help you. Take advantage of the weapons that come your way as they are what you need to attack your enemies, so just make sure you're using the right ones with which you can shoot your enemy. What's cool about Worms 07 is its 3D element, it's great graphics and terrific sounds. Plus, all the different time periods that you go through in Worms 07 are pretty cool too. You get to see a whole lot of things going on when playing Worms 07, that's for sure. I particularly enjoy the battleship. Also, even though generally I'm not so in to strategy games, I do feel like there's something extra appealing in Worms 07 that renders me to like the game nonetheless.

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.

Love Your Pet More With Mobile Pet Tamagotchi

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!
