EA Mobile has announced availability of five new titles for Mobile devices. They are:

  • The Sims 2 Castaway
  • The Sims Pool
  • Monopoly Here & Now
  • Yahtzee Adventures
  • Merv Griffin’s Crosswords

Granted, this isn’t the most exciting of news, so I moseyed on over to the EA Mobile site to take a look around. It brought up a few things in my mind:

  • EA own my favourite Mobile game of all time – Tetris – the ultimate spare time killer!
  • EA have mobilised quite a fair share of their Console catalogue – albeit the names are there, but the versions of game are quite rudimentary compared to their console cousins
  • EA also has DOOM!
  • EA own JAMDAT

It’s going to be very interesting to see, with the advent of the games powerhouse that is N-Gage, how EA interwork with it – between N-Gage and EA, I would suggest there is the potential for some extremely good games – genuinely compelling, but still with that all-important “dip in, dip out” feature. Give me Rainbow Six Las Vegas 2 on my N95 and I’ll be a happy man! :razz:

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
