Neon Prime HD 

Vertical scrolling shooter games always flash me back to the arcades of the 80s. The PlayBook recently got a solid retro shooter called Neon Prime HD that really flashes  you back. The neon 2D graphics will have you flying through the 5 level campaign mode and all 10 levels along with their bosses. Check out a trailer for the game below:

  • The 'Recent Updates' page lists all your new friends and status updates
  • Based on popular demand, the profile photos are larger than ever, and no longer cut off!
  • A customized "contact support form" is now within the app to make it easier for our users to let us know of any problems they may have with Hookt.

BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tour Exciting Developers Of All Ages

Posted: 11 Jun 2012 09:04 AM PDT

BlackBerry 10 Jam Santa Clara BlackBerry 10 jam invite

I have been hearing reports from developers after each stop of the BlackBerry 10 Jam World Tour and the reviews have been pretty solid. It seems like RIM is finally getting their messaging right to developers along with having the tools they need to develop BlackBerry 10 apps. RIM is hitting hard with HTML5 and Cascades/NDK development for BlackBerry 10. One dev in Milan told me that he was shocked to see developers embracing RIM tools when compared to RIM's previous history.

What really impressed me was the latest recap RIM posted from their World Tour stop in Santa Clara. This was their second stop in the US which is right near the tech heartbeat of California and it was packed out. They even had one group of two boys ages 10 and 14 who created a chess app with very few rules. That just gives you a taste of how easy it now is to develop for BlackBerry compared to the previous school of hard knocks.

Please share your story with us if you made it to one of the BlackBerry 10 Jam events. We will hopefully be attending the one in NYC to get a feel for how it is going.

Hexage Releases EVAC & Free Robotek Game for the PlayBook

Posted: 11 Jun 2012 07:07 AM PDT

Robotek EVAC2  

Earlier this month Hexage committed to bringing their whole game library to the PlayBook. They started with two games, Radiant and Radiant Defense, and now they have brought two more. This time we have the free Robotek strategy game that is very engaging  though it does not have a specific genre I can pin on it. EVAC on the other hand is an arcade style puzzle game that has you avoiding the enemies and completing the 32 levels as you set traps for your enemies.

Check out both in App World:

You can find video demos of both below:

BBM Challenge Council 

The latest BBM Challenge Council contest is out and Streeter & Amir are up to their antics again. This time they have recruited Sky Blu from LMFAO along with his pony to show how BBM Groups are awesome. I absolutely love the whole contraption they setup there but that is obviously not the challenge. Streeter & Amir want you to send in the best BBM Group request screenshot to win a trip for you and three of your friends.

Check out the details here at the BBM Challenge Council website

iOS Emulator for the PlayBook Demoed on Video (Brine)

Posted: 11 Jun 2012 12:27 AM PDT

 iOS brine emulator PlayBook

When Todd first sent us this video yesterday (via BBin) I had my doubts about its authenticity but it looks like there may be something to it. In the videos the developer, Bubble Wrap, shows off some free iOS apps running on the BlackBerry PlayBook in an emulator of the iOS environment. It is an iOS player that he has been working on for awhile and running on Windows with an emulated ARM core that he simply ported to the PlayBook to remove the need to emulate the ARM core.

My buddy Shane from BBOS did some digging since he was also originally skeptical and also heard that this might be legit. We may never actually see this released one of the developers of Dingleberry confirmed that the developer behind Brine contacted him last year. Supposedly Bubble Wrap ported the missing libraries between the PlayBook and iOS to make the apps able to run on both platforms. Hell even Chris Wade, another dev from Dingleberry, is working on porting his iOS emulator iEmu to the PlayBook.

I am not sure what the probability is of this ever hitting public release but it is great to see the developer interest in the platform and the strength of the QNX platform. Check it out in the videos and let us know what you think!
