Claygun review for pocket PC!

“.The concept is simple, the graphics are crisp, and the developers even threw in a storyline to make it a bit more interesting. The objective is to fly up the vertically scrolling landscape, taking out other flying objects, obstacles, and land-based items which are encountered at very regular intervals. Points are awarded for destroying as many targets as possible and as the levels progress the landscape becomes increasingly congested with enemies so dodging or blasting is absolutely necessary. At the end of each level, in order to progress to the next mission, you must destroy a boss or as the developers put it an evil SOB. There are three types of attack methods in ClayGun: shooting, close-range melee attacks, and full-screen bomb-type attacks, and the power of each of the attack methods are character-specific. What’s more the enemy AI appears to be spot-on and challenging as the levels progress as well as with tougher difficulty levels. .” You can read the the entire review HERE! via pdarcade.com

Review GSM phone Siemens SL75 at mobile review!


“The SL series attracted much attention for its design, and devices with such an index have won many awards. And the same fate fell to the first slider representative Siemens SL55. Many girls chose this model prompted exclusively by design peculiarity, and even poor functionality, low screen and polyphony quality did not bother them. The device’s popularity within the target group also grew because of mass replication of various cut versions of the SL55 for fashion houses and so on. But even in this condition the success of the model was rather modest and rival solutions, which appeared later had higher sales rate” Read this review here:
