Neil Young, former executive of EA Games, recently announced his departure to form a new start up, Ngmoco, aimed at making games (for time-being) exclusively for the iPhone. According to Young, the stagnate mobile games market is ripe for change and Young believes that “we are finally at the place where we can reinvent the experiences and the economics of the mobile games business.”
With the iPhone being the catalyst the mobile gaming world needed, it is by no means the end all for Young, who rose to fame at EA as the development executive responsible for the millions-sold success titles “Lord of the Rings”, “Sims 2″, and EA’s next expected hit, “Spore”. Ngmoco and Young plan to make and publish games for the iPhone as well as to-be-released Google Android OS (depending on its viability as a gaming platform.)
Young looks to the 3G iPhone and the AppStore as perfect platforms to give mobile gaming the boost the industry feels it so rightly deserve. We look at Young as the potential creator to endless hours of thoughtless entertainment. At least one of us is working hard.
Oh by the way… YESSSSSSSSSS !!!! We welcome you with open arms.
