Mobile Phones are Becoming the New Gaming Consols!

July 18th, 2008

Just a couple weeks ago, Guitar Hero, the completely addicting guitar game, was reformatted by Activision to function on cell phones!  And in that short span of time, the game went from 85th among mobile game purchases to 9th… it will most likely top the charts within the month.  Seeing the meteoric rise of Guitar Hero on the mobile phone platform begs the question; why have mobile phone games been so lame for so long? 

There is no simple answer to that question (though there are plenty of complaints), but what can be said is that Guitar Hero has clearly started a movement, a revolution in the mobile phone gaming world! Companies like EA and Activision are refusing to produce any more crummy, boring games for all these cool new phones; the days of Tetris and Bejeweled and Brick Game are coming to an end.  Electronic Arts, the giant game maker, is releasing its long-awaited Spore for cellphones, including the iPhone, not just on the well-known game platforms.  Other cool new games to come include Kung Fu Panda, the Dark Knight, and Guitar Hero III: Backstage Pass, all with mobile phone compatible versions.
