I do agree with PocketGamer‘s Stuart Dredge when he says rugby is a hard sport to turn into a mobile game. Gameloft apparently doesn’t think so, and just recently they’ve announced their new rugby simulation game, called “Real Rugby.” However, I was bit surprised with their expectations. It’s hard to imagine playing rugby on a mobile phone for a long time, yet that haven’t stopped the big mobile games publisher in signing up French Christophe Dominici and English Jonny Wilkinson to promote the game. Guess they really expect this game to succeed…
Anyway, Gameloft promises a realistic rugger simulation, including scrums, line-outs, a kicking game and proper transformations. First screenshots looks great, and if everything goes as planned (i.e. the game sells well, as planned), we could see the slightly modified American football version following up quickly.

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
