Name: Worms World Party
Genre: Strategy/war
Summary: We all know and love Worms and now they have been released on N-Gage so we can all play it on our lovely N96. I remember play worms on a friends old phone which was basically a perfect adaptation of the original game so I was wondering what they are going to change and is this updated version any better that the older ones. Unfortunately for your wallets this game is a must of anybody that spends more than two minutes travelling, it works perfectly, everything, I mean everything from the graphics to the sounds and all that’s in between. It’s not only as good as the original it could well be better with more than 30 usable weapons and items that all feel like they where part of the game from the start. All and all with its 1-4 multi-player and online modes the game is for everybody (that’s allowed to kill worms) so check it out.
Overview: What can I say you can probably guess I liked the game and it would be fair to say that all the older versions of the game had just as much excitement but this version is just super very smooth and simple move left, move right, aim up, aim down, jump and fire controls that will annoy you for the first 10 minutes but become very trust able. If I had to give you one reason to try this game it would be that no other N-gage game works this smoothly and has this good of graphics. Read more
Nokia N96 App Review – PBC Cost Control

Name: Cost control
Description: Sms, Call manager
Summary: The Nokia N96 is an expensive phone meaning that in a lot of cases owners have to get a tariff, with this phone most tariffs have plenty of Call and Sms credit even so its good to keep track of your tariff. PBC Cost Control will count the amount of calls and texts you make, you can set the day your bill is payed and your quota of call and texts and it will warn you when your quota is up. Its a great idea and PBC-Mobile Group have done it well with its simple and easy to use UI.
Overview: It’s a Great idea if you use your phone a lot then its information you really need to know unless you like spending money with out knowing. In fairness the information is easy to find out but its never going to warn you, so I’m a bit mixed because this cost $6.49 and has so many different names including “Monitoring Your Minutes&Texts Plan“, “PBC_MonIncMT” and what PBC call it themselves “PBC-Cost Control“. Chose what you want to call it yourself, anyway I’m mixed because it doesn’t really do that much but if you have ever gone over your call quota then it would probably more than that. To help you decide there is a 7 day trial so check it out see if you need it. Read more
