Palm Pre App Catalog. 30 Apps in 30 Days. Day 18: Blackout
Time to take a look at another game for the Palm Pre, Blackout. Sadly, this is number four of five. Like many of the other games available for the Pre, it is a good concept, but an underwhelming exhibition of what this platform can do.
Review: Resident Evil 4 for iPhone
Back in early 2005 Capcom released the latest iteration of the Resident Evil series.

Marble Blast was one of those cool ideas that turns into a really great game. Initially created as more or less a demo to show that the Torque 3D engine could be used for more than the first-person shooters it had been associated with to date, but grew into a fully-formed physics-based puzzle action game.
