Mobile games portal Game Mobile has launched the first weekly Top 20 chart to reveal mobile gamers' favourite games from all over the world. The company says the chart fills an industry gap for a weekly chart compiled from global downloads, rather than country or mobile network specific sales.
The chart, published each Friday at 2pm, tracks movements up and down, as well as peak positions, to give a true picture of the most popular mobile games. The chart is produced in an RSS standard form so that other sites can pull through and publish the data on a weekly basis.
Recent research from Juniper predicts that the mobile games market will be worth $10 billion (£5 billion) by 2009, with game downloads overtaking ringtones in many Western European markets.
“With a potential user base of well over 400 million mobile phones worldwide, we are about to witness an explosion of games for mobile phones,” says Game Mobile Director, Richard Hawley. “Our chart will provide a truly global marker of the most popular games as the mobile gaming market goes mainstream.”
Game Mobile was one of the first online portals for mobile games, applications, software, ringtones and wallpaper. All games and other content are fully tested, and a range of free content can be downloaded from the site to tempt new gamers.
Customers receive loyalty credits with every purchase, which can be traded for games, ringtones or wallpaper. Game Mobile does not charge a subscription or registration fee, and each customer is given a personalised account page, designed around their own phone.
