It seems the race
is on for Android. Namco and Glu proudly announced
their first games, but Connect2Media is jumping
into the market with 12 release announcements!?
The first of these titles will be available
in the first quarter of 2009 and the initial
releases will include ‘4 in a Row EX’, a fresh
and updated version of the familiar and popular
game, and ‘Classic Card Games EX’, a compelling
three-in-one collection of card games featuring
evergreen favourites, hearts, spades and rummy.
Connect2Media will also bring a brand-new and
groundbreaking, as yet-to-be-announced, multi-platform
franchise to Google Android, details of which
are coming soon.
Google Android is an all new open mobile platform
that incorporates an extensive multi-media
feature set that helps deliver an enhanced
mobile gaming experience to the consumer. Connect2Media’s
development of these twelve Android titles
follows its mission of being a 360-degree entertainment
company. The games will be part of a larger
release schedule that encompasses true cross-platform
compatibility including Apple iPhone, Microsoft
Xbox360 and Nintendo Wii. This strategy will
allow consumers to concentrate on the games
rather than whether it will work on a specific
device, making for a truly seamless gaming
experience.
