Like Worms, Bomberman seems to be the sort of game you can never have too many versions of. At least, that's what the explosive fella's creators at Hudson Soft reckon. So on the back of his million-selling mobile exploits in Super Bomberman, it's just released Bomberman Land Battles in the US in both BREW and Java versions.

The variations this time include 32 huge maps with branching paths so once a level is clear, there are three different paths to the next. Your route is important though as Bomberman will upgrade as you progress and each path contains different power-ups, of which there are 15 in total.

Also standing in your way are five bosses each of which, once defeated, is unlocked as a opponent in the VS. Mode, in which players fight against other Bombermen in classic Bomberman battles.
