So SEGA have jumped right in with the ISM (licensee of the International Olympic Committee), to become the exclusive video game publisher for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada – this seems to be a trend for SEGA now!
In simple terms – you name a gaming platform, and SEGA are going to be the ones delivering the game for it. Me personally, I’m interested in the Mobile one(s), and to see which SEGA will support – could it be:
- something touch-based for the iPhone
- a button-masher for Java devices
- a 3D game for N-Gage
- a stripped back PS2-like game for the PSP
…. who knows….!
I have to say, if the games are anything like the classic arcade button-mash-fest that was “Track and Field”, then it will be good enough for me!!
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.
