5 things noobs should know about java mobile games
Hello everyone. I’m back, and this time with a little FAQ on the world of mobile phone gaming.
I guess this should have been the first article here on Mobicritic, our mobile games blogzine. Still, it’s never too late to get some things straight and talk of some more obscure things such as platforms, memory [...]
Astro Pop, great mobile fun
You’ve never played Astro Pop? OMG! Where have you been living?
Jokes aside now, I didn’t know about this game either, until I stumbled upon its mobile version. After playing with it a bit(and felling in-love with the simple yet exciting gameplay), I made a small Google query and.. voilà..! To my not-so-big surprise, I learned [...]
The bitter-sweet pleasure of being digged
Nope, this is not another post of the “I’ve been digged” series. Well, it is, kinda, but it’s also a public apology. Mine, Mobicritic’s administrator. Ours, Mobicritic’s editors.

TellMe, the voice-controlled java search app
Via techmeme we get to a Techcrunch article about a very promising startup: TellMe.
TellMe is a mobile local search service, much like Google Local Search. The key differentiating factor is that, unlike the very boring and annoying typing text messages or search queries, TellMe goes Java Mobile, and it does it reinventing the field: [...]
Battlestar Galactica
Although I like SF books and films (please, someone, I’d really want to play a Dune mobile game, please :P), I never managed to watch a full episode of Battlestar Galactica, so I failed to become a fan (as plenty of my friends are). That’s probably one of the reasons I wasn’t impressed by the [...]
Deal or No Deal
New! Free download of Deal or No Deal mobile game.
This afternoon I first downloaded, installed and played the famous “Deal or no Deal” mobile game. And, man, was I sorry for the time spent…
I’ve never seen the so-much acclaimed homonymous TV Show, but I’ve read about it. It looks like an exciting show, with people [...]
Sexy poker series - Gameloft
I’ve already written an article about casino games - Midnight Casino.
