Play Like the Old Days With Mobile Checkers

Get Back to Basics With Checkers

I had always liked to play board games on a Sunday afternoon with my parents and younger siblings. It had been a fun way to pass the time since I always found the weekends pretty boring. Now, as an adult, of course, this is never the case; there always seemed to be a huge array of different fun and exciting things to do. The different games you could get for mobile phones these days is amazing so there is always a ton for me to do. And after trying out all the new and exciting and stimulating games, I decided I wanted something a bit more simple. Well, it was at that point that I got hold of Checkers for my mobile phone and I can honestly say that I have never looked back.

First of all, I really think that the mobile phone version of Checkers is way more exciting than the old game I used to play on a board on the floor on a Sunday afternoon. The graphics in this particular version move quickly and the sounds seem to make the game more exciting. It is an easy game to play, once you have learned the basic rules. This version offers three different difficulty levels to choose from. Obviously (just my personality type) I chose the hardest one first. Well, that turned out to be a mistake as my opponent (you can choose to play against the computer chip in the phone or other mobile phone users; I chose the latter) was WAY better than I was. So that was a bit of a disaster.

Understand Basic Rules

The aim of Checkers is to get rid of all other checkers so that you can prevent your opponent from making any successful move. The black checker gets to move first and the only direction you can both move is forward. The two categories of moves are non-capturing and capturing. With the former, you get to move diagonally from one square to an adjacent square (this doesn't include white squares as they are not used). The latter type enables you to jump but this can only be done when the square behind is empty but the advantage is that multiple jumps can be made. You can even jump again if the situation on the board allows for it (i.e., take two moves in one, or even more).

After I got over my arrogant attitude, I saw that by starting at level 1 and playing consistently, I was really improving my skill set in Checkers. I am currently on level 2 and hope that in a few weeks' time I will progress (successfully and with a chance of winning) to level 3. Check it out; it really is a lot of fun.

Let's go Bowling

Do you like to bowl?

I do. It's a good way to pass the time, and you don't need a lot of skill to enjoy the game. I try to get out to the lanes about once a month, or so, either as a date with my wife or a night with the guys.

So, when I got my new cell phone and started playing with, I was pleasantly surprised to find that one of the games was a bowling game. I had to try it out.

At first, I wasn't impressed. The game was simple, but the controls were cell phone controls: too complicated for easy use.

To play, all I had to do was position the ball in the lane, choose how strongly to roll it, and set an angle to roll it. It rolled down the lane and hit the pins on its own. The main drawback is that there is no room at all for individual skill; the game program deteremines what happens when the ball hits the pins, so there is no room for fancy shots that can hit 7-10 split. On the other hand, once you figure what combination of settings will hit the 1-2 pocket, there's really no way at all that you can avoid a good score.

Basically, this game is good for mindless entertainment. The sort of entertainment that you need when you standing in line at the bank or the post office for 40 minutes, to carry out a 3 minute transaction that you really should have done by mail a week earlier, except you forgot, and now a personal transaction is required.

See How Well You Can Drop n' Roll

Since I don't always have that much time to play my mobile games, but I always like the light hearted relief they bring, I decided to check out Drop n' Roll. It seemed like the game was not going to require an intense brain puzzle solving power. Yet at the same time, Drop n' Roll looked like it was going to be a bit of a challenge for the minimal time that I did have. What you have to do with Drop n' Roll is simple enough. You have to get the hero Rollo to the exit, by clearing the blocks. But the only way you can clear the blocks is if they match. Then, when you see matching blocks you just group them all together and then they can be cleared. The other aspect of Drop n' Roll that I really liked was that there are over 50 different puzzles in the game to be solved, so you don't have a chance to ever be bored. I often try different ones, depending on my mood and since the animations and sounds are hot, all puzzles end up being fun. I've yet to attempt the master level because I'm still working on trying to get really good at the general level. But each level gets harder and harder so I feel like I'm getting there, slowly. Drop n' Roll is a good game to improve mobile phone control too, especially for those who are new to mobile phone gaming. Also, no matter how old or young you are, you can find a level on Drop n' Roll to suit and that will be fun and enjoyable. So start moving Rollo around, by dropping and rolling in this cool mobile phone game.

Fill The Pool Fast In Bubukong Bath Time

Make Waves With Bubukong Bath Time

In this game it is speed that counts, but with strategy too. The aim of the game is to fill up the pool with water so that Alyssa can enjoy the bath before mid day. Now, this makes it sound like the game would be relatively easy. But it is not because the players have to deal with Bubukong which makes everything so much harder. It seems that Bubukong does try to help, but by doing so just ends up making things worse. So you have to fight against Bubukong while trying to achieve the goal of the game - filling up the tub. Getting the water is easy; you can get it from the river - but that is not the challenge of the game. The challenge is coming up with ways to beat Bubukong at his own game.

Get Back to Basics with Bubukong

I think I liked playing Bubukong Bath Time because it took me back to all the old games I used to play. I guess this is because the graphics are so basic and simple, almost like the age-old pac man style. Games were pretty good in those days even though graphics were basic. Since today there are so many flash, hyper cool graphics, the old ones seem to have disappeared in to oblivion. So I do like to come back to these basic graphics and enjoy a game like Bubukong Bath Time; it is funny to see how unreal a character like Alyssa looks; she is almost like a square person!

Bubukong Bath Time is also not such a difficult game to master so for anyone who wants a bit of fun but is not looking for too much of a challenge or to be over stimulated, Bubukong Bath Time could really be the perfect game for them. Besides, given that it is free to download to mobile phones, the price of Bubukong Bath Time is most definitely right!

SameGame 2 ? No Good For the Colorblind!

I was always looking for the kind of game for my mobile phone that just didn't take too much energy or brain power. At the end of a long day at the office, or a stressful conversation with my fiancé (never have a long engagement ? it's just the worst), the last thing I wanted to do was be challenged by a game on my mobile phone. Nonetheless, I was still looking for a bit of light hearted relief. And indeed that was exactly what I got when I download SameGame 2 on to my phone. What happens in SameGame 2 is that you are faced with a screen with a bunch of different colors (which you can select depending on your preference). I liked to play SameGame 2 with traditional colors of bubble popping type games so I opted for: red, blue, green and yellow, figuring these were the most dominant and thus easy to distinguish of the colors. There you will find groups of colors bunched together. It is your job to grab as many as possible of the same color and remove them from the board. So what you want to be looking out for is a whole bunch of one color grouped together ? that way, the more blocks you have, the quicker you'll be able to remove them and thus win the game. Then, the more often you do that, the less blocks you have on the board and thus the harder it gets to find a group of clustered one colored blocks. But that just makes the game more exciting. I do find with SameGame 2, time and again, that it's a really fun game that makes you want to come back all the time because you just want to beat your previous score. And the more you play SameGame 2, the easier that is to do.
