The State Of Cellphone Gaming

Thanks to IGN Wireless for their new column discussing the current state of U.S. cellphone gaming. The article starts by saying: "Post-E3, several magazines and sites have taken to dismissing the cellphone gaming scene - saying the Game Boy Advance has nothing to worry about... But we're talking apples and oranges here, fellas. The markets cannot be compared, nor should they be." It goes on to highlight titles like GameLoft's Splinter Cell and JAMDAT's Pitfall!, and further comments that: "It's pretty pointless to buy a phone that cannot play the kind of games you like, and then complain that cellphone gaming sucks."

I've been noticing that the same type of people that
make sure to talk as loudly as possible when they
are on their phones at the supermarket, or the
movie theater are the same people that play games
on their phones and say things like:

"COME ON! COME ON! COME ON! YES! SCORE!!!!!"

or

"JUST ONE MORE POINT! JUST ONE MORE POINT!"

Even more loudly then they normally talk on their
phones in a bid for attention.
