• Free Game Apps For Blackberry Android

It has probably happened to you. You download a free BlackBerry game, full of so much hope and promise, only to discover that it was a waste of time and disk space. 'At least it was free,' you tell yourself.

Enjoy millions of the latest Android apps, games, music, movies, TV, books, magazines & more. Anytime, anywhere, across your devices. Free Fishing Game. Gold Helm Games, LLC. A Free Arcade Bass Fishing Game with Daily Tournaments and Head-to-Head Play. My Singing Monsters. Big Blue Bubble.

1. This is a new addition to my Blackberry and, I admit, one that I haven’t found much use for yet – but it’s only a matter of time. The app is called BeeTag, and it is a 2-D barcode reader that uses your Blackberry’s camera to scan those square-shaped codes (like the one next to this paragraph) that are popping up on more and more products, as well as in ads and other places.
2. Up your game with BlackBerry apps on your Android phone. When your trial is up you can choose to subscribe to the ad-free BlackBerry Hub+ suite from within the BlackBerry Hub+ Services application, to continue using all the BlackBerry apps like Contacts, Notes and Tasks. Or you can continue with the free experience for Inbox, Calendar.

This is an especially common experience for BlackBerry owners. There are, however, many free top-notch BlackBerry games out there. It’s just a matter of conducting the downloading experiments to sort them out –- which, luckily for you, we’ve already done.

We've weeded out throwbacks to Oregon Trail (we have nothing against Oregon Trail, but click-through decision screens — “Do you want to ford the river?” — are a bit past their prime), games that get old after a couple of plays, and games that were never much fun to begin with. The following eight games made the cut.

1. Ka-Glom

Match Tetris-style falling pieces (Gloms) by color. If you group four Gloms of one color together, they explode and disappear (Ka-Glom!), which earns you points. /cortex-command-free-download.html. Blocks, which don’t disappear when you group them, disappear and earn points when Gloms explode near them.

2. Number Cruncher

You would think a name like Number Cruncher would scare away a lot of people, but this is consistently one of the BlackBerry App World's most popular free games.

There’s actually no math involved. The object is to create as many sequences of numbers in an allotted amount of time. For instance, circling a sequence (2,3,4) or multiples (2,2,2) of numbers earns points. As in Ka-Glom, matched numbers disappear and cause the board to shift. The developer describes it as 'a cross between Sudoku and Tetris.'

3. Sudoku Lite

You don’t need to buy the physical newspaper just for the Sudoku anymore. This app comes with 10 puzzles and three levels of difficulty to attempt each at. Just like the paper version, the game allows players to note multiple number possibilities in each box. There’s also an option to manually add puzzles from outside sources like newspapers, but it seems like in that case it would be easier to just borrow a pencil.

4. 3D PBA Bowling 2 - Lite

Brought to you by the Professional Bowling Association, this is more than a point and click bowling game. Players choose to play a single game or a tournament and have the option to play against a second player or a handful of pro bowlers. Superior graphics make the choice of lane type and location come to life. Choosing a different ball weight and timing an appropriate release (with the option to add some spin) make the game a must for any BlackBerry-toting fan of the lanes.

5. Pixelated

The object is to change a quilt of multicolored squares (or pixels) into a solid color screen. Your first move only affects the colored square in the upper left-hand corner; you choose which color the square should change to. When it changes, the number of squares your next color choice affects grows by the number of surrounding blocks that the first block now matches.

It's strangely addicting to watch the blob of uniform color you’ve created expand across the screen. Under the default settings, you must clear the screen in fewer than 21 moves to win.

6. Blocked Traffic Free

Remember the plight of the little red car in the Rush Hour puzzle? Same concept here. In this game, you move traffic to clear a path for a little red car. The original plastic version came with 40 puzzles; the free Blocked Traffic app comes with 80 puzzles.

7. GT LinkFour, Blackjack, Roulette, TexasHoldem & Warship

These games from Gold Thumb hook you up with an opponent to play an online version of classic games like Connect Four, Blackjack, Roulette, Texas Hold Em and Battleship. They’re all easy and intuitive to use, which is why they made this list. Plus, it’s more fun to play an ostensible human being than a computer.

8. Par 72 Golf Lite

Free Game Apps For Blackberry Android

Are you at work but would rather be golfing? This app lets you choose a club, line up the shot, and decide how hard to swing. Unfortunately an avatar still handles execution, but it’s about as close to golfing as you’ll get in a cubicle. The free version lets you play three different holes.
