8. Same Player, Shoot Again

Offerings include puzzle games, platform games, races, and card and action games. Some are not bad at all. But rather than going into detail here, see for yourself on Archos's site , where you download the games. Note that at more than $5 per game, the price is steep.

You can play a demo directly on your computer to get a feel for a game before buying it. Playing games is very natural given the layout of the buttons and the control pad. Of course you shouldn't expect the Gmini to rival the Game Boy SP, but it's a sight better than playing a game on a cell phone. If Archos manages to convince the movers and shakers in the mobile-games arena to develop for the Gmini, we can imagine some fine possibilities here. Indeed, a mobile Prince of Persia would be much more playable on a Gmini.
