Hi.

I'm interested in seeing REAL games (not the ones that populates every page / P2P network made by 1 person, with poor desing / graphics / not full screened /etc) from companies that sells them.

I found Glu, which I really don't know what it is; thought it was a company that made games but then, they offer a lot of games from other companies (Atari, BitMap Brothers, etc.). So my questions are:

1) I need a name to "search" for commercial games, a company: Glu, MacroSpace, PopCap, something like that; one that produces games for mobiles

2) Just for curiosity... what is EXACTLY Glu?

Thanks in advance.

There are loads of them Glu (formerly Macroscope), Digital Chocolate (Sumea), Gameloft, Handy Games, Fish Lab Studios, EA (you might not have heard of them!) are the most well known. Google them.

Prince of Persia (Sands of time) is the best mobile game I found so far. Other than that I’ve also found Tomb Raider and Colin McRally which are also based on some of the popular PC/Console games.
