Mobile Gaming


Mobile gaming will be go mobile in a literal sense with the upcoming launch of GPS enabled and location based games. Even though I had read analyst saying that mobile gaming is going to rack up billions very soon, I was skeptic about it, till I saw some of my colleagues playing mobile games during launch time. And now with the advent of GPS enabled games , mobile gaming is going to reach a new level and users.

Your World Games Ltd, will soon be launching 'The Shroud' which allow players to enter “quests” by physically moving into randomly determined hotspots in the vicinity. Earlier attempts by KnowledgeWhere Corp. at this were not so successful but may be it was not the right time a year back.
Just to give you idea what is hot in mobile gaming, look at the enclosed snapshot of popular games.
