Mobile Gaming
Been doing a quick bit of research in to mobile gaming – some snippets worth remembering for the future (from YouPark)
- Most popular games on phones are casual, nonviolent games played predominantly by women, a far cry from the norm in PC gaming.
- Teens are three times as likely as those over twenty to play cell phone games.
- Games are among the top five things people do with cell phones.
- There are three hundred million actively used, game-capable phones in the world.
- Social Gaming on mobile phones acquires more than forty percent of the total mobile gaming.
- One Thumb games usually the most popular (love the company name ‘thumbplay’ but will the iphone change the thumb joy stick?)
- Hmm….any more to add
Future > Flash games? Java Games R.I.P?
