Hi gang,

I'm searching for some games I can put on my x50v for a trip we're planning out to the west coast next month. I've been searching thru some old posts looking for some games, and I've got a few, but the thing that seems to keep popping up is everyone's recommendation for Bejeweled 2. And I guess I just don't understand the fasciniation.

I've played the demo version on my Motorola phone before when bored, and I've seen here almost everyone say its one of their must have games. And I realize that everyone won't like every game out there, but I'm just puzzled (forgive the pun) why this game is so popular and is $20. I'm thinking about giving it a try and maybe I'll learn to like it or to be addicted to it and it can keep me busy on the 4+ hour plane ride.

It really just depends on preference i havent tried it because i do not really like puzzle games and am pretty sure i would not like it (i like rpgs with great story lines like knights of the old republic for x-box)

Yeah, I hear ya. Maybe puzzles just aren't for everyone. I just seemed to hear most people recommended it, so I wondered if I was missing something or what. I do wish it was a few bucks cheaper. Then I could justify it for myself.

But I'm like you with the RPG's. I downloaded Arvale demo and it seems pretty fun, and it also seems to offer a lot of hours of play, so I'm going to buy that pretty soon.

You might also want to take a look at the pocket pc versions of everquests they where fun and also legacy both very good rpgs

I love Bejeweled 2. It's one of the games I still play a lot. But only if you like puzzles.

If you don't want to spend $20, you still have a "trial" period. What's on your phone is not the same bejeweled as on the pc.

PDA Mill has a game call GameBox Gems. It is exactly like Bejewelled, it also comes with 4 or 5 other puzzle games. Pretty good game for $15.

Virtual Pool Mobile is an excellent game.

High Noon Drifter is fun and it's free from www.clickgamer.com

Snails is a fun game.

Tower Mogul is good to kill lots of time

PDA MIll Spot is a fun picture game where you get two pics and must find the differences between the 2.

Enjoy!

There is a brand new one out called Super Wild Wild Words. It is a mix between hangman, and collapse. I found it quite entertaining, challenging and, frankly, addictive. But then again, it depends on how much you like word games.

Here is a link to try it.

There are a TON of other games on this site to try for free...If you like word games, "Word Mojo" is also pretty good!

Have fun!

I really like Shark Attack!! It is challenging and well made. I haven't gotten bored play it for hours. I played the trail until I could master it pretty well. The full version seems more difficult. Lot's o' fun!!
