Earlier this week, Handmark released Down 4 The Count, their new boxing game for the iPhone. This seems like a very nice way to relieve stress. If someone makes you mad, hop on your iPhone and beat up some people in the ring. Hopefully this will give you some relief…and the cops won’t be involved either.

Look for a review and possibly even an iPhone boxing game head-to-head coming soon.

Of course, Handmark wasn’t done with just an iPhone release. As Brian pointed out, they released Astraware Boardgames for BlackBerry. They also updated two of their Symbian/S60 games: Astraware Boardgames and Astraware Solitaire.

It is refreshing to see a developer still releasing games for platforms other than the iPhone. I know it can’t be easy, but the group at Handmark/Astraware always seem to get the job done and give us some entertaining games.

See below for official Down 4 The Count press release:
