Over 1 million mobile games downloaded a month
Thursday, December 6th, 2007A site for mobile game fans? Maybe…
If you need some games and you can’t stand paying the big phone companies large amounts of your play money, than a site which has reached over 1 million game downloads a month might just be the right one for you. Why? Cause the site offers free games.
The free games vary from demos, ad-supported, to full feature but all free to download and play. The only cost is the transfer fee your phone company may bill you for, otherwise you can download it to your pc and transfer the game to your mobile phone via blue tooth or data cable.
“The nature of mobile phones change the gameplay dynamic, but less than many would have believed,” said MobileRated president, Richard Mosher. “Some people see the medium as only effective for simple, casual games but we’ve had great success with certain highly engaging action games too. The truth is that successful games work within the limitations of the hardware they run on. Older and/or cheaper phones have more limitations and thus fewer successful game paradigms. New phone models incorporate significant capabilities and allow for gameplay that few could envision on a mobile phone as little as one year ago. The marketplace is not stagnating, it is evolving. Our downloads have grown 33% in a little more than three months and I firmly believe we are only scratching the surface of the true marketplace today.”
The ad based free games are supported via an in-game advertising. The ad-based games use the Kalador’s FreePlay technology to add the ads into the game. If you grow tired of the game’s advertisements but you still love the game, you can purchase the game which will get rid of the ads.
I took a look at the site and most of it are ad-based games. I found one beta I might be interested to play. Nintendo’s Zeldo is reborn in a mobile version. The mobile version is not released by Nintendo but another developer and is is Beta 3.
