While today everyone maybe talking about Cut the Rope on the PlayBook I took the time to go and do a video review of one of my new favourite apps (beside Cut the Rope, it’s just awesome). BackBreaker Vengeance 2 is a game with a simple concept, dodge the other football players, pretty simple, eh. But wait, not only does the playing field change with barriers and other obstacles, you also need to make sure you stay within an ever changing infield zone.

If you’re looking for a change from flinging those birds at pigs then you’ll definitely want to take a look at BackBreaker Vengeance 2 for the BlackBerry PlayBook, it’s available in App World for $2.99.

I must say that with the portability of the PlayBook, I’ve found myself buying a ton more games that I bought when I had my iPad, mainly due to the ability to carry this powerhouse around everywhere I go.

As a whole the BlackBerry community tends to focus a lot on BlackBerry apps and devices, but what about the developers behind all those PlayBook and smartphone apps? What type of accomplishments have they reached while developing on the BlackBerry Platform? Today I want to point out one developer in particular and that would be FlexableAIR and their Application Doodle Blast.

Doodle Blast has been available in BlackBerry App World since the launch of the PlayBook giving users about 3 months to download this FREE physics game built on the Adobe Air PlayBook SDK. Since its availability Doodle Blast has surpassed 50,000 downloads on the PlayBook, making it an all time favourite amongst PlayBook owners.

With RIMs developer data base exceeding 400,000 registered developers there’s no reason why we can’t have Apps like doodle Blast exceeding 100,000 downloads given the popularity of the development tools available to PlayBook devs.
