EA Mobile is committing to the Android platform. The gaming giant has made the all time popular Tetris game available for the Google’s mobile OS. In addition, EA wowed to release Bejeweled and Monopoly Here & Now Edition during the month of November.

I won’t talk much about any of the games, as I’m sure you already know everything you need to know about each of the titles. I’ll only add that all three games rely on G1′s touchscreen to deliver great gaming experience.

The problem, though, is that Andorid Market at the moment doesn’t support non-free application. That prompted EA Mobile to make its games available for download directly from their website from where users can buy them. However, as soon as Google enables users to buy apps through Android Market, I’m sure EA Mobile will be among the first companies to jump on board. In the meantime, if you’re that eager to enjoy any of the mentioned games on your G1, you’ll have to install them manually.
