Name: Crimson Fields,

Description: Turn based tactical war game,

Summary:I know gaming isn’t every one’s cup of tea and I can see why with most games available are all action games and fast paced button pressing ect.., but what happened to games like chess and space invaders. Crimson Fields is one these games for the more mature n96 users not for anyone looking for a quick game. The game is based on a war zone with a whole range of different units and with different terrains that and clever AI that will pose a formidable challenge. The game in a whole feels like it was ported from the PC because all the controls are done with a mouse that you control with the directional pad which is good sometimes and annoying other times. One of the big pluses with this game is the amount of game-play not only that but you can also play games with people over the Internet or because its turn based, over e-mail.

Overview: The game reacts with a bit of a stutter but normally sorts itself out after a bit of time and some times the screen has a bit of a fit when you rotate it but again it sorts itself out. Another thing I should say is how amazed I was with the AI and the amount of levels you get manly because this game is free. So I would check it out if I was you and for anyone who doesn’t really like this type of game I would suggest you try this game out and just play the tutorial and see what your think. Read more

Name: Salling Clicker

Description: Remote Control software

Summary: There has been many diferent software that aim to connect and control your computer with your nokia n96. Not all the software I tested worked well or even at all but this worked like a charm with simple installation and configuration. The greatest thing about this software over others is that this can use both wifi and blue-tooth and both work with minimal delay. Salling Clicker is award wining software from salling and its quite easy to see why it won, the controls are very simple and can control anything from volume to the media player and even the mouse. So whether you are just wanting something to control your music or if you are displaying a presentation over a projector and you want go to the next frame without going to your pc then this application is the best one, in my opinion.

Overview: Best remote control for your phone and with most applications of this type tend to have have lots more trouble connecting  to the pc but this worked nice a and quickly. All this greatness comes at a cost of $23.95 but dose come with a free trail that limits the amount of button presses down to 30 and when that’s up the application restarts. To install this application on your phone you have to first install an application on your PC and from there it will give you a step by step guide to how set up and where you can get the .SIS file.
