A Symbian Christmas 2007: Part 1 - Games

December 8th, 2007, 13:33 Posted By: wraggster

As the festive season comes around again, we're taking a look at what's out there for people who want to make their Symbian phone a bit more Xmassy...

During the 1980s, it was extremely common to see Xmas-themed and Winter-themed computer games on 8-bit and 16-bit systems. This has somewhat died out lately, mainly due to the immense costs, long development times and global markets of console games. However, the Xmas/Winter game tradition is alive and well on smartphones, and there are seasonal games for every kind of Symbian.

We've divided up this article into flavours of Symbian: S60 3rd Edition, S60 1st & 2nd Edition, UIQ3, UIQ2, Series 80 and Series 90. Just scroll down to the section appropriate to your device.

To go to the download or purchase pages for a game, just click on its screenshot.

Incidentally, for those of you who download Snowed In 6, remember that you can swap tiles diagonally as well as vertically and horizontally. This may be a bit tricky to do on some direction pads, but it is possible. If you can't get it to work, try pressing two different directions in quick succession. You can see an extended video of Snowed In 6 gameplay, including the diagonal swapping, over at the Unofficial Nokia Gaming Blog.
