screenshot0312Name: Sims3

Genre: RPG

Summary: There have been a few sims games out for the nokia n96 but I never played any of them so I can’t compare it to any of them so I’ll compare it to other n-gage games. Before I tested this game I read lots of reviews say how boring and lame this game was so naturally I thought its going to be a bad game. When the game first loads you get to customise your characters and then its traits and then its of to its virtual world and you can get on with life. From the reviews this is where I expected the game to be useless but I was wrong the game has all the available options that you could ever want from buying a new house to listening to music. The main complaint everyone had with Sims3 is that it was boring but if you thing its as boring as any sims game but they still appeal to many people and I can’t see why this one won’t.

Overall: The first thing I should tell you is that the game play is a bit slow but the game runs very smoothly and the graphics are fine. The game is surprisingly small at 2MB and and there’s a great trial that’s about 15mins of game play but can be a bit of trouble to download so I have the .sis file in the download. Overall its a good game and will probably entertain you for a good while but you mite get bored of it quite quick. Read more

Description: Travel Utility

Summary: Traveling has become a part of life and most people travel to different countries on quite a regularly and when we travel we want to know as much as you can about your destination. My Travelr can give you most of the information that anyone would want about the destination they are going. My Travelr can retrieve information like the time, weather, a map of the surroundings, international calling codes and the currency conversion rate. There are a good few applications that can do this but very few has the the ability to find the weather in 40,000 city’s so it has a bit going for it but I know there are more applications that can give more information.

Overview: My Travelr has a few advantages over some travel application but there are a good few application that can display much more information. The good thing about this application is that its free and if you compare it to any other free travel application it comes in the top three, well that’s in my opinion. It’s a very handy app if you are planning to go on hoilday to another country or something like that. Read more
