Huge news for BlackBerry road-warriors who fought off the doldrums of boring meetings, flight delays and (dare I say it?) bad dates with Magmic’s classic Texas Hold’em King 2, one of the best games available for your BB. We just received word today from our friends at the Big M that THK2’s sequel, Texas Hold’em King 3: Connected, will be released on April 14th.
We’ve been told that THK3 features avatars with adjustable facial expressions, advanced high scores, objective based awards, an integrated buddy list and a lobby for choosing tables. I personally can’t wait to fill up my buddy list with BBCool staffers and take all their (play) money. Stay tuned for a review, but for now, enjoy some screenshots after the jump. Post a comment and let us know what you think.

A few new releases from Bplay have hit their store, most notably the adventure games Leisure Suit Larry: Love For Sail and Surviving Hollywood. Love For Sail puts you in control of the lovable Larry Laffer as he tries and fails to woo every available woman on a cruise ship. The Leisure Suit Larry series has always been known for its great dialog, and the mobile re-production is chock full of mini-games and puzzles to keep you interested between talks. Surviving Hollywood is in the style of the choose-your-own-adventure books of yore. Players guide a young actor on the path to stardom, balancing odd jobs to pay the rent with making time for auditions and hob-nobbing with celebs. Two new themes are also available: the starkly minimalist Cubes and the more colorful Explorer.

Who can say no to a free BlackBerry game? Well, we give ‘em away just about every week here at BBCool, but this way requires quite a bit less effort. They’ve also got Texas Hold ‘Em King 2 and Sudoku for free download. So what does it take? All you got to do is sign up to RIM’s new BlackBerry Owners Lounge, and be one of the first 10,000 to do it. Now, the game alone might be enough to sell you, but the Owners Lounge is actually pretty slick. They’ve got some BlackBerry tips there, downloads, useful links, the whole nine yards. So far it’s looking to be a great BlackBerry web portal. Now when are they going to put a Blogs section on there?

I-play has just inked a deal with Handmark to distribute their top titles, such as a Fast and the Furious racing game, a puzzler by the name of Jewel Quest and 3D Pool: High Roller. I-play’s site lists most of these as compatible with only BlackBerry 8100’s, probably since their primary interest lies with mainstream cellphones, but I’ve received word from Handmark that the games will be working with all BlackBerrys. The most eye-catching of their titles is Pillowfight, where you “join an elite and sexy crew of hot women in the exclusive world of competitive pillow fighting”. Damn. Sign me up.

It looks like Atari’s none too happy about BrickBreaker, the game that’s been preloaded on BlackBerrys since the 7200, and has been pursuing legal action. The resemblance to Atari’s Breakout is noticeable, and you can hardly blame Atari for the litigation. RIM has no doubt enjoyed the enterprise popularity in the game, and by association mobile games have likely seen a boost in visibility. Two weeks ago, Superior Court Judge Harvey Spiegel motioned for the case to be moved to the Superior Court of Ontario in Toronto.
