Last week, mobile games publisher Digital Chocolate released four of its games as downloadable PC titles. You can now buy Pyramid Bloxx, Rollercoaster Rush, WordKing Spelltris and Diamond Islands for $9.99 and play them on your computer, complete with beefed-up graphics and sound.
It seems a logical move, and possibly part of a trend where gamers start to get more multi-platform casual game publishers – think PopCap Games expanding to mobile, or I-play's new 'triple-play' strategy. If you're making great original games, there's no reason why you shouldn't be looking to release them on mobile, web, PC, Xbox Live Arcade and so on.
Is this the theory behind Digital Chocolate's move to PC? Pocket Gamer asked company founder Trip Hawkins, who explained it's as much about driving more sales of the company's mobile games.
