We’ve mentioned plenty before about Glu’s Mobile releases, and have even laid out what was coming in Q108. Well, time passes, and AppScout has been kind enough to pick out three of Glu’s newest crop of games that should amuse us during our idle down-time:
DiRT – 3D racing game, which implicitly asks the ephemeral question “how do you replicate steering on a Mobile device keypad” – we are assured that in fact the steering is very good.
Transformers: G1 Awakening – a fighting game where you battle the decepticons as one of 23 autobots. Worth buying just for the “transforming noise” (assuming they have inlcuded it in the game!)
Deer Hunter 3 – Not really politically correct, but, apparently a faithful re-imagining of the PC game – there’s a PC game?!
There are also some other games during the year:
Family Feud (September)
The Price is Right (November)
Bugs Bunny: Rabbit Rescue (December)
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (October)
If you want more of the detail, then you can visit Glu Mobile’s site here.
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.
