Gameloft Delivers 20 Games for Android Market

Gameloft, a leading publisher and developer of digitally distributed video games, has announced a line-up of 20 games for Android-powered devices such as the T-mobile G1. Through Android Market, an open marketplace, Gameloft is offering the games with better graphics and gameplay capabilities. 

The offerings range from Derek Jeter Pro Baseball 2009 to Oregon Trail and CSI:Miami.  

"With digital distribution being the platform of the future, Android Market continues the momentum by providing new channels for consumers to find, buy and download games," said Gonzague de Vallois, senior vice president, publishing, Gameloft. "We believe in the potential of Android Market, both in terms of content and accessibility."  

With internal development and production focused on digital distribution, Gameloft is positioned to create new video games.

In September last year, Gameloft had announced its plans to develop over 10 games for Android, an open-source mobile platform. Bubble Bash was planned as the first title scheduled for launch in Q1 2009.

The company creates games for mobile handsets equipped with Java, Brew or Symbian technology. The total number of games-enabled handsets is anticipated to exceed four billion units by 2012, says Gameloft. Its games are also available to players on WiiWare and DS, Microsoft's Xbox LIVE Arcade, Apple's iPod, iPhones, and PCs.
