Featuring it’s 1GHz Snapdragon mobile processor and 4.3″ capacitive touch screen, it’s a superb looking Windows Phone. Enough of it for now, let’s get into the Windows Mobile Roundup!
Featured Software of the Week
This week’s featured software would be Rake in Grass Archibald’s Adventure for Windows Mobile. This unique action puzzle platformer is a great game as you use your skills and wit to guide the heroes of the game through the 100+ uncanny levels.
The game itself has great cartoon graphics, which is great as it doesn’t hog up all your phone’s memory. With 100+ levels to keep you entertained, I would say this is a must have game for every Windows Mobile owners out there. There might be some frustration involved as there are some levels in this game that requires you to be ‘perfect’. Luckily for us, in most levels, you would be able to save in midway with the ‘respawning device’, so you don’t have to restart the whole level again for a minor mistake. All in all, it’s a great action puzzle platformer. 
MSRP: $9.95 (Demo – 32/179 levels)
