Pub Mania brings your local Nag's Head to your mobile phone

pubmania1.gifHere’s one mobile game that’s after my own heart, Pub Mania, which is set in, whaddya know, a pub! Luckily it doesn’t come with the lairy lads, stale stench of sweat and beer and pork scratchings wrappers littering the floor. That’ll be in Cocktail Mania, heh.

Created by Gameloft, the game revolves around the idea that you’re a landlord (finally, a chance to play The Baddie in an all-too-familiar scene!), who has to show customers to their tables, take orders and serve up the gin and tonics. Watch out for the hot coffee mod which includes having to shoo junkies away from your beer garden, and break up bar fights between football fans…

Guitar Legend: like Guitar Hero but on your mobile phone

guitarlegend.gifGuitar Hero! Rawk! You should see my hot riffs. But surely it’s one console game that’ll never get converted to run on mobile phones…

But no. Mobile games publisher Gameloft hasn’t got the official Guitar Hero licence, but it has released a mobile game called Guitar Legend that uses the same core gameplay. So it’s all about pressing buttons according to notes travelling towards you on a guitar neck.
