Zeemote+console-quality games+Pico Projector+8900 = An incredible mobile gaming experience.
We first got a look at the Zeemote over a year ago when we were writing about them on QuicklyBored and then at BBDC 2008, they brought it to the BlackBerry world. The Zeemote is an interesting addition to the world of BlackBerry gaming, a market that is still young but has a great deal of potential.
In terms of gaming, Zeemote fills in the gap where the BlackBerry lacks. If you’re an avid BlackBerry gamer, you know that when the game starts getting difficult, the keyboard on the device makes it impossible. You need the dexterity and precision of a brain surgeon. The Zeemote takes this stress away and lets you enjoy your games.
When I was living in Korea teaching English, all the kids wanted to play hangman. It’s a fairly morbid game but it’s a big part of Western culture. Now you can play hangman on your BlackBerry and the game offers a trivia twist.
Wild West Hangman combines the original pen and paper game, with 800 trivia questions in 10 different categories.
Poker Buddy is a multiplayer poker tournament game. One interesting feature is that the rules for the particular poker game change, and it isn’t necessarily just Texas Hold’em.
This poker game features a digital clock that will keep track of your tournament and blind levels while the extensive player list will allow you to track knockouts, re-buys and add-ons. You can also email your players with automatic tournament reports after the game.
Features:
* Fully configurable blinds, round time, re-buy and add-on counts.
* Up to 100 players in a tournament
* Live tournament viewing from any java enabled browser
* Tournament results transmitted at the end of tournament
When he wasn’t gambling, drinking, or twitter live-blogging, BlackBerry Cool contributer Nan Palmero was roaming around Las Vegas with a camera to bring you the goods from CES 2009. One of his first stops was at the Zeemote booth, a BlackBerry Cool 15 presenter and all around cool company that makes a sweet bluetooth controller for smartphone gaming. While the Zeemote JS1 controller is only out in Europe and Mexico right now, you can expect it to launch in Canada and the U.S. in a few months.
Some of you may remember us mentioningNintaii by Mobigloo back in October when we discussed the finalists for the BlackBerry Developer Challenge. ‘Nintai,’ a Japanese Kanji that means “patience” offers users a great gaming experience from start to finish. More recently, I also reviewed this app back in November, giving it a healthy and well deserved 4 out of 5. Well, Nintaii now comes equipped to handle the awesome power of the BlackBerry Storm, making use of the Storm’s accelerometer and huge screen. Sweet.
