I had never heard of Nintaii before, so I was pretty excited when my friends over at Concrete Software suggested I give it a try.  It is similar to Sokoban…only different.  Like a distant cousin.  The basic premise is pretty simple.  You have a board composed of squares, like a checkerboard.  Unlike a checkerboard, though, this board is irregular in shape, with lots of dead ends, false starts, and other obstacles.  Oh and one of the squares is actually a hole in the board.  Your job is to maneuver the tower by flipping and rolling it across the board, so that you can stand it over the hole, causing it to slide off the board.  Sound easy?  Head on over to the iTunes App Store to check it out.  In the meantime, hit the jump to read the full press release.

Let’s continue our look at "comfort food” games for you Windows Mobile converts to the iPhone.  Last time, we looked at a number of games from Astraware.  Today, we are going to take a look at Concrete Software.  This is another company which I have worked with almost as long as I have been writing here at JAMM.  I reviewed quite a few of their offerings on Windows Mobile, and I was pretty excited to find two of their more unique games in the iTunes App Store.  Today, we will take a look at the iPhone versions of 3D Lawn Darts and 3D Constructo Combat.

For me, there are really two kinds of games.  One is great for killing time while waiting for a plane or waiting in line, like solitaire or blackjack.  These games you can quit any time and can pick up right where you left off; nothing really to remember or think about.   The other games completely suck you in.  The kind where your brain is hard at work and you don’t notice little things like the sun setting and rising, or the fact you now have a beard about a foot long.  Both kind of games serve their purpose when it comes to amusement.  The question is, where does Aces Mahjong fit into the puzzle?

You’ll have to read on to find out…

Concrete Software has just released Aces Mahjong for the Blackberry.  Now you have the ability to take the classic Chinese tile game with you everywhere you go.  As a warning, Mahjong is a highly addictive game.  I have never had it on my mobile phone, but I have spent numerous hours playing on my desktop.  This version has 50 different lay-outs, and I honestly did not know that many existed.  I am use to just five or six.  Plus, the layouts are ranked by difficultly, so you really have a chance to challenge yourself.  Check out the full press release after the jump.

I have always enjoyed bowling games.  In fact, bowling is still one of my favorite games on the Wii.  So, I was very excited a few weeks ago when Concrete Software offered to let me preview their new PBA® Bowling for mobile phones, which released today. The new mobile game is being released on most of the current mobile phones and also includes smartphones running Windows Mobile and BlackBerry operating systems.

But this is not just another bowling game, it features 11 of the top PBA stars, 3D graphics that follow the ball down the lane, and Concrete Software’s cutting edge mobile motion technology, which simulates real bowling motions. The game also includes 5 bowling locations, 5 types of lane oil patterns, and 3 different game types.

PBA Bowling is available from Concrete Software and the JAMM Store for $14.99.
