The Simpsons Arcade Game - Windows Mobile Smartphone

"Donuts. Is there anything they can't do?"

That's one of the famous quotes from longest running TV animation / cartoon, "The Simpsons". One of my all time favorite of course. And my life long search came to an end when I finally found a Simpsons Game for WinMo / Smartphone devices.

"The Simpsons Arcade" was released by EA Mobile early this year for both WinMO and Iphones. The graphic is just plain 2D as it always been to keep the originality i believe and a very simple story line. Basically, you will be helping Homer to chase after a mysterious donuts. Little that he knows, the donut holds the key to a devious scheme by none other than Mr Burn and his gang. So, Homer will be facing obstacles along his way in 6 different levels. It's pretty simple and you can finish the game in less than an hour. However, the most important is the fact I can have my most favorite Tv series on my mobile phone :)

Note : If you would like to have this game, feel free to drop me a line.

NoData - Manage Data Connection on your Windows Mobile Phones

I never really did sign-up for any data plan. Mainly because, I hardly use it except for occasionally. For those moments, I usually just get one of those hourly or Daily passes. But the problem is, being a WinMo [ Windows Mobile ] device, it's full of widgets [ Weather , News etc ] and applications which connects to data networks so very often and sometimes even without your knowledge.

It was a problem for me as well due to high cost for data rates in Malaysia until I came across this little tool developed by one of the admins @ Modaco [http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/]. It does what the title says, limits data access of the mobile device. It really come in handy especially if you are "roaming".

So, if you are not planning to get one of those expensive data plan but in love with WinMo devices, you should have this tool. On top of all, It's for free! :)

Tower Defense - Windows Mobile Game

Defense my Tower! That’s what I’m doing whenever I can find some free time. J Tower defense is a popular arcade/console type of game which was pretty popular back in the days. This game is being distributed by Color Stone Ltd [ http://www.stonegames.net/ ]. As the name suggest, you need to defense your tower or base from incoming enemy soldiers , tanks , fighter jets and bombers. You can do that with help of 6 different type of towers such as artillery guns, flame throwers , lighting striker etc. You can place these things in a very strategic ways to navigate your enemies from your base to yours. While you gaining money by “destroying” your enemies, you can use the cash to upgrade your weapons. More upgrade you gets ; the faster your can bring down your enemy tankers.

One thing I can say, once you get a grip on this, it’s pretty much very addictive. Though it looks like it was developed for HTCs, but it works extremely well on my Omnia i8000 thanks to it’s wide screen. However, the game did crashed couple of times once I reached >100^th level. Nevertheless, it is surely deserves 5 stars!!

Note : it requires Ms compact net framework 3.5 to work.
