Free Blackberry Games

There a lot of great Blackberry games out there but most of them are paid versions, we compiled a few games worth downloading for your Blackberry device.

Bubble Popper


Bubble Popper is a good old fashion color bubble popping which reminds me of the old puzzle bubble games I use to play a few years ago and also the frozen bubble game in my asus eee. The game play is very addictive but had a hard time getting it to work, but it did work in my wifes Blackberry.

Disco Bowling



Here's a nice classic bowling game you can get for free in the Blackberry Owners lounge. It's fast and works great with older Blackberry Phones. The game follows all the rules of bowling.

PubCheckers



Here's a classic checkers game you can play by yourself or another player. The game loads fast and can be a nice alternative to the usual games out there. The game level is good enough, the computer was able to beat me 3 to 1 out of the 4 games I played. Playing with another player is more fun, but you do have to take turns and pass him your blackberry ( no bluetooth ). Pubchecker works with all the blackberry phones I tried making it a must game even for older phones.
