SGN Swings iPhone with iBowl
After
the release of iGolf, SGN, a social gaming company, has launched iBowl,
which leverages the accelerometer mobile technology platform for the
iPhone to let bowling fans, sports and gaming enthusiasts play on-the-go.
The two games: iGolf and iBowl, according to SGN, are the first two games
in a series of iPhone and mobile gaming applications that will be
available over the coming months.
To play
iBowl, the user depresses the 'BOWL' button on the touch-screen interface
throughout the swing and releases the button at the end of the swing to
direct the bowl down the bowling lane. By twisting your wrist while you
swing the iPhone the player can create spins and control the direction of
the bowling ball.
Updates
to this game will be available by October 13, 2008.
"We are
continuing to push the boundaries of social gaming to engage all gamers
and enthusiasts in innovative ways through our creative use of platforms
such as the iPhone," said Shervin Pishevar, CEO of SGN. "The success we
have seen with iGolf demonstrates the demand for this kind of
entertainment for all audiences."
According
to SGN, iGolf has been chosen as a 'Featured Game' in the Apple App Store.
With over 900,000 downloads to date, iGolf is a leading game in downloaded
games for the iPhone.
The
development of iPhone games marks SGN's expansion in mobile and social
gaming technology, accelerating its entry on social networking sites like
Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, and Hi5 across multiple platforms and form
factors.
