Bored of Tetris clones and card games? Fan of strategy board games and have a craving for some pirate slaying, gnome smashing, dragon feeding fun? Go download Praetor!
Praetor is a strategy game mixed with some elements of deck building games like Magic the Gathering made by Random Software. You play as a SRoman general named Scipio (or whatever else you want) who's sent to invade some island only to be ship wrecked on arrival.
The game is a turn based strategy game on a hex grid where you're pitted against various enemies with different abilities. Each unit you can play has a different amount of speed, deals different damage, and has different amounts of both armor and health. However things get a wee bit more complicated as you encounter wolves which can attack twice a turn or Hastatus or Triarius which get tougher and hit harder the more tiles you have next to eachother in phalanx or Golems which stun people.... The list goes on.
As an added element you have other non-creature tiles you can play like Javelin which hits a creature that's within at most two squares of one of your troops or Campsite which gives you one more energy (used for "casting" or pretty much everything else like moving and fighting) for each of your troops next to it but can be destroyed if your opponent can get near it.
All in all it's a very good game and I am eagerly awaiting the next expansion. Best dollar I've spent in a long time. I suggest you get it!

Update Review: NoDo
Once again Microsoft has given me a reason to come back and shout out my love of the OS to the blogosphere. Nodo has arrived for my HD7 on bell (a week or two ago but I'm a lazy blogger) and is chalk full of great features!
First thing that comes to mind is that copy and paste is here! It's really here! Really! For real! Also its a lot smoother then it was on my old WM6.5 device Microsoft really came through on that one.
Next best (at least for all of us gamers) is a boost in loading speed while resuming apps, particularly apps that are heavy in graphics. No more waiting two minutes to resume Zombies after my coworker sets the phone down without telling me it's my turn.
Then theres the generic bug fixes and improvments on both search and the marketplace. Still have issues with bluetooth headphones not working with videos though. Seriously Microsoft if you read this FIX THIS it's so annoying when someone sends me a link to a youtube video on the bus and suddenly my phones making loud noises and my headphones seem to suddenly stop existing.
All in all I'm very pleased with the update and am still in love with the OS. Cant wait until mango ships! /happydance!

Gaming on the HD7
Hey guys, guess I lied about the fast and plentiful updates, this phone has been so amazing I haven't found the time to stop playing with it and write a post.
Today I'll be talking about gaming on the HD7. I've been doing a LOT of that lately, mostly on these three games from XBox Live: "The Harvest", "Zombies", and "Ilomilo".
The Harvest is an adventure RPG set in the future. You pick a character type (I'm playing as Scarab and he's a beast at mitigating damage) and off you go to save the human race from an alien invasion of "Harvesters". As you progress you get more special abilities, unlock special characters, find gear and learn how best to destroy everything nearby.
Zombies is a direct copy of the famous board game and is also loads of fun, more so with friends. It's you're basic screw your neighbor, zombie killing, survival horror/comedy game... Ok maybe it isn't so basic but it's still a barrel of laughs when you play "Your shoe's untied" Five squares from the escape helicopter.
And lastly but not leastly (leastly?) have "ilomilo" a puzzle game where you try and reunite the two friends Ilo dand Milo. Move block defy gravity, operate catapults, find more friends and more. The greatest thing is how immersive and addicting this game is, you use your accelerometer to look around corners or over ledges so playing this game you will find yourself pointing your phone around much like your parents and your old Sega controllers while playing Road Rash...Or maybe that's just me...
Moral of the story? GAME ON!
