Who says BlackBerry is all work and no play? True, you can get tons accomplished on your BlackBerry, but what you get accomplished doesn't necessarily need to be work related. Yes, you do have the BrickBreaker game that comes with your BlackBerry, but you can only beat it so many times before you get bored.

As the BlackBerry becomes increasing popular, numerous BlackBerry game companies are making more and more decent titles. For example, you can play a couple of holes on the Pebble Beach golf course, or you can play a game of online Texas Hold ’em with other BlackBerry users. Whatever you play, you can find a huge selection of games out there. What's even better is that some great games are free.

After this chapter, you might play so many games on your BlackBerry that you'll have to watch your productivity level. Please check our companion Web site — www.blackberryfordummies.com — for an updated list.
