I don’t think I’d be alone in listing Paperboy as one of my favorite childhood games. I was a bit young to enjoy it during its arcade run, but I certainly had the Nintendo version, and even dust off my old copy once in a while (when my NES actually works). It was also one of the first games I downloaded in college when I realized the brilliance of NES emulators. Now you can get that same experience on your BlackBerry. Elite Systems Group has released an officially licensed version for your BlackBerry.

In News From The Wire yesterday I said I’d take a closer look at Desktop Manager for Mac, which was recently leaked. But then I started using it, and realized that there’s nothing much to add. We already took a look at it last week, and not much has changed. We’ll do up a walk-through as a reference once it’s officially released, but for now it’s not worth a short blurb when there have been short blurbs already. Fret not, for there is something to gander at heading into the holiday weekend. You remember Dope Wars, the text-based game where you buy and sell drugs for fun and profit? They now have a BlackBerry version of it, Berry Wars. And it’s just as addictive as the old one.

There was a whole section for Tetris clones in our best free BlackBerry games. So why are we talking about another one? Because it’s my favorite one. The guys at BlackBerry Cool have news of an update to BBTetris. It’s nothing major from what I can tell, but the say that it will help save battery life. After the jump, a screen shot and the download links.

Is there anyone out there who doesn’t play BrickBreaker on their BlackBerry? I’m not talking hardcore, play every day and try to beat the high score. I’m talking, there’s a delay on the subway, and I’m stuck underground with hundreds of sweaty people cramming tighter and tighter into the car. It’s a good release at those points. Me? I’m no good. But Carlo Maglinao at TechBays? He’s good. So he’s created the Ultimate BlackBerry BrickBreaker Guide. The link is to levels one through three. Links to the rest of the levels after the jump.

We all know that the BlackBerry is an incredible device which allows us to keep up with the flood of email which bombards us on a daily basis. This is the primary reason the BlackBerry has become the go to communications device for the business professional.

Next time you’re next to someone who’s using a BlackBerry, don’t just assume that they’ve got their nose to the grindstone. It appears that BlackBerry users like to play games a lot — even more than feature cell phone subscribers. Because, you know, all work and no play makes people go crrraaazzy.

What does Minesweeper have to do with BlackBerry? It just so happens to be one of the newer offerings on the device from CamelMedia Soft. Yes, the bombs and flags that kept you occupied at work in the early 90s is back and ready to cut into your productivity once again. And it’s just $6.99 (we obviously preferred the free version that came on our PCs, but we’ll take what we can get). Of course, leave it to a reviewer to actually say something bad about this game.
