Championship Spades E3 2005 Hands-on

Pulse Entertainment isn't just the publisher of Quake Mobile. The company is also about to release several casual games, including two card games developed by card specialist DreamQuest Mobile. The PDA version of Championship Spades has already won accolades for its huge array of gameplay options, awesome tutorial, and challenging AI, and it looks like it will be making the jump to mobile with that list of advantages completely intact.

Championship Spades lets you play the game of Spades pretty much any way you'd like to. For instance, you can play multiple variations, like partners and suicide. You can compete online against other players, whether they're using mobiles, PDAs, or PCs. You can switch up your opponents and their skill levels and ask them to give you advice. In fact, the game will teach you how to play Spades from scratch, if necessary, and it'll do a good job guiding you through the elementary strategy of the game. After playing for a while, you'll also be able to look at your comprehensive play stats.

Yes, Championship Spades is just a single card game, but it's a phenomenally complete version that's sure to satisfy those hankering for a comprehensive Spades experience. This game should be out in the near future, and we'll have a review as soon as it makes an appearance on deck.
