STP - In the past few years, Glu Games has moved from making paid games like Super KO Boxing 2 and Cops & Robbers to freemium downloads like Contract Killer, Deer Hunter Reloaded, and Stardom: The A-List. But before freemium gaming was as common on the App Store as it is now, one series changed the way we looked at free-to-play games. Glu’s Gun Bros set the stage for action-focused free games, with optional payments for bigger weapons, which has divided opinions among players.
Apple's iPad mini could potentially hit the sweet spot as a platform for casual and hardcore mobile gaming.
With devices getting smarter and processors getting faster, gaming has turned out to be a bigger, more prominent avenue of interest for smartphone owners. And not just simple gaming like in the olden days - today smartphones offer detailed graphics, immersive sound and realistic controls, aided by devices like Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, and Sony Tablet that have cutting edge technology.
I really like dead space on my android phone. Amazing graphics, well thought out touch screen gameplay
I have the sensation and love it, great phone. The only complaint I have is that the ringer volume is very low and can be a problem.
The free to play business model can be extremely successful for game developers, especially if you are able to convince players to pay upwards of $500 for a single in-game item. Mobile phone game maker Glu offers a title called Gun Bros where the top weapon in the game can be purchased for the equivalent of $500 real-world dollars.
