“The world of mobile gaming is about to explode! Better games, richer graphics and deeper communities will take cell phone gaming to entirely new depths with experiences that are as adrenaline charged as console gaming,” said John Batter, VP and General Manager of EA Mobile. “With racing, sports and puzzle games, our line-up features something fun for everyone. If you’re looking for a deep experience or if you want to just game-on-the-go, these games have it all.”
Need for Speed Underground 2, The Sims 2, Madden NFL, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR, FIFA Soccer, Poppit!, Turbo 21 and Tri Peaks Solitaire are EA’s first internally produced mobile titles.
