One thing that I have begun to kind of find to be rather interesting is the various mediums that you can play games on...

What do I mean by this? Well when I was a kid and first started getting in to video games, even just the portable video game system was still pretty much in it's infancy, and most of the portable games that were out there (even some of the better games for the time), were extremely poorly constructed!

But when Nintendo released it's first portable multiple video game system, 'The original gameboy'... Well what can I say? I was a kid... So of course I had to have it! And boy was that something! Besides the fact that you could play any number of specially designed games for that system, the graphics were surprisingly great, the music was fun... And in all truth, that game system was a just a total blast, and certainly well worth it!

The reason that I mention this, is that a few years ago when I first started slowly getting back in to playing video games, I came to discover something that was actually pretty cool... That a lot like the original, 'Gameboy' that I had enjoyed so much as a kid, that mobile phones were starting to not just release games for mobile phones, but were actually starting to release some pretty awesome ones!

And one of these games that I had gotten in to at the time that I enjoyed was, 'UniWar' (2009)!

Developed By: Javaground exclusively for mobile phones, this game is a turn based strategy game that will pit you against either a set of computers or against various players all over the world... In the game you can either play as one of three separate races, either as the Humans, as Robots or as Aliens.

The idea behind the game is that the player is supposed to destroy the other players/computers by destroying the enemy forces, and slowly taking over their bases.

Now here is the thing, this game can actually be a lot of fun, but the truth is, is this game has only long lasting appeal if you are in a situation where you don't really have anything to do for long periods of time... I hate to say it, but if you are looking for a game that is similar on par to say, (One of the old Warcraft games...) Well the truth is is that this is not one of those games, but if you are looking for something fun to keep you occupied when you are bored, or are waiting in a really long line, then this game really is one of those games that will hold your interest during that time... Otherwise, if you are expecting to enjoy this game for years... Think again...
