Panoramic is a gaming development and publishing company of which it's most likely some you may not have heard. Another important detail is that it designs games only for the smartphone platform.

Other than this, the company seems very “full-hearted” as to its new release, although some of us may not be as enthusiastic as they are. In any case, Panoramic Blackjack, no matter how you look at it, is exactly the game you would expect, in that it does not deliver any surprises, neither good nor bad, so it seems kind of dull.

Called the 1.0 version, it was created for Windows Mobile Professional classic devices and it offers a small, but consistent, variety of experiences. Actually, what it really does is take you to a casino-like environment, and help you improve your blackjack skills. It may not be the most exciting game, but it's constant. Moreover, if you’re a beginner in the gaming field or even a casino maniac, it's got everything you could want.

The other Panoramic release is called HexeGems and, at first, it appears to be a bit more challenging and elaborate than the Blackjack. Also, it is said to be a very addictive puzzle game, in which the goal is to use four hexagon gem pieces – actually, to manipulate the pieces and the blocks in such a way that a horizontal same color line is created. Naturally, in order to accomplish this, you will be able to move the blocks and rotate them, and even turn them any way you please, all of this creating a pretty intellectually challenging experience.

The Blackjack release will work only on Windows Mobile Professional Classic, versions 5, 6 and 6.1, whereas the HexeGems settles for any Windows Mobile OS appeared after 2003. For more detailed information, please go here or here.
