Great New Games for Symbian OS

New games for Symbian OS and Nokia smartphones are being released at such a fast rate that you’d have to quit your day job to try and play them all. If you’re in a rush and don’t have time to file through the hundreds and hundreds of games out there, many of which are available as free downloads from the web, you can check out our five favourites from the latest batch of releases.

Tic Tac Toe Blue

A game as ancient and timeless as Tic Tac Toe, or ‘Noughts and Crosses’ as it is known in the UK, loses none of its endless playability and universal appeal when transferred to smartphone. When transferred as beautifully as it is in this particular version, by Biskero LLC, it perhaps even gains appeal. Play against your phone with four levels of difficulty – who’d have thought four levels of Tic Tac Toe proficiency was really possible? Scores are recorded and saved by your phone, so you can revel in your own genius or despair at your foolishness.

Psycho Hunter

The only reliable way to decipher a person’s true personality is to ask them to shoot deer in a smartphone shoot-em-up game and then psycho analyse their gameplay. That’s exactly what the new game Psycho Hunter from TwistMobile does, so if you enjoy the sight of exploding deer guts and want to know whether your shooting skills make you a highly confident entrepreneur or a stay-at-home mum, download this new game and get shooting!

Maze

Sometimes the original ideas are the best, and as long as there have been computer games, there have been games in which you have to navigate around a maze. Symbian developer Spice has created a new Maze game especially for kids, incorporating vivid graphics, catchy music and child lock technology to stop little fingers make unwanted phone calls.

The Train Defender
Anyone who has a head full of nostalgia for classic 80s platform shoot-em-ups will be delighted by the retro action of The Train Defender, in which you have to…defend a train. Not the most complex concept you’ll come across this year, but developers PlayBuff have produced a perfectly playable little gem of a game that will help you while away the hours.

World of Rabbit

The bizarre genius minds at Breakdesign have pulled the rabbit out of the hat with their latest Symbian game offering. World of Rabbit sends players deep underground as they control Rabbit in his quest to defeat the evil robots that have infiltrated the bunnies’ network of warrens. The game is Barking Seed Enabled, so you know it’s going to be good.
