Romance of Rome Romance of Rome2

HeroCraft let us know that they have launched a new PlayBook game that is sort of an adventure and hidden object search hybrid game called Romance of Rome. It has you set on an adventure to return the imperial treasures of Rome to win the heart of the Emperor's daughter. All in all a solid adventure game for $1.99 in App World.

HeroCraft also let us know their upcoming lineup of 10 games that they are also bringing to the PlayBook. Here is how they describe them:

Next up is a hidden object game Scrubs, based on the massively popular Disney ABC sitcom. Featuring all your favourite characters and a brand new storyline, this puzzle-based game will put you, a new intern, firmly mixed up in the macabre world of Sacred Heart, battling the Janitor and trying not to incur the wrath of Dr Cox!

Over the course of the next few weeks Playbook users will be able to try their hand at running a fully working farm in Farm Frenzy, the famous action-packed arcade game. HeroCraft will also bring match 3 hit Montezuma and the award winning Yumsters to PlayBook. Later this year Majesty: The Northern Expansion will make its way to PlayBook as well as a number of games currently in development. Among them are physics based arcade game Red Ball, a mobile version of the hit Flash action puzzle Catch the Candy and Gibbets 2, a popular skill game where the player uses a bow and arrow to save the people from being hanged.

Daniel Defoe’s epic novel of survival and hope will come to life in vivid detail in Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, an engrossing hidden object game. Finally, smash hit The Tiny Bang Story, a lovingly hand drawn hidden object game with a stylish soundtrack that is sure to be a feast for the senses.

Want to take Pictures with out the shutter sound? SilentCam is here to help!

Posted: 17 Apr 2012 09:00 AM PDT

One of the annoyances with the Camera app on BlackBerry is the shutter sound.  When I am taking pictures in public, it feels like when the shutter goes off, all eyes turn to see who is taking a picture. Well, Toysoft the maker of  some of my favourite apps is at it again with a solution.  This time with SilentCam, an app that silences the stock shutter sound on your OS5.0+ device.  It is a very lightweight app that takes over as your camera app.  To learn more about the features, keep reading.

It is a separate app from Camera, but runs just as well.  It has a vast amount of settings, allowing for a good deal of customization, unlike some of the other programs that just take a screencap of your screen silently. The zoom feature works great, and the setting the number of pictures higher, lets it snap as fast as it can, to make sure you get at least one photo you can use. You can find your copy in AppWorld for $0.99.

And remember please take in to consideration the local laws and regulations when using your camera in public places.

IMG_00000040RIM just announced the release of OS 2.0.1.358 for the BlackBerry PlayBook, the OS we reported  that was in carrier testing a few days back. The new OS brings the following updates:

The BlackBerry PlayBook OS v2.0.1.358 contains many updates including:

  • Browser enhancements to address performance with some websites
  • Improvements to support Android apps
  • Optimizations to Video Chat, PIM and BlackBerry Bridge applications

Devs: Every 100th New App Submission Wins a Trip to BlackBerry 10 Jam (International!)

Posted: 17 Apr 2012 05:44 AM PDT

BlackBerry Loads of Apps

BlackBerry 10 Jam with RIM sounds like it will be hotter than BlackBerry DevCon this year with RIM pulling out all the stops to court developers. They announced another contest for devs this weekend to win a pass to BlackBerry 10 Jam courtesy of RIM. That includes $500 USD cash, a voucher for an airline ticket (up to $1,500 USD in North America and $2,500 USD outside of North America), and a pass to BlackBerry 10 Jam on May 1-3 with four nights hotel. That's one hell of an incentive! Its also pretty cool that RIM is making this open to both North American and international developers.

Every 100th NEW app submitted to App World between April 10. 2012 at 12:01 EST until April 26th at Midnight EST is eligible. The only catch is that the app needs to be something RIM believes has the"Winning Criteria" which means it will be in reasonable demand in App World. In other words don't make a fart app or slightly modify an existing app.

The contest is open to both new Smartphone and Tablet BlackBerry apps so get cracking! Check out the details here.
