Top 10 Mobile Games Downloads in Asia
Acme Mobile has published its list of the ten most popular mobile games downloaded across Southeast Asia in April 2007 from its web and mobile portals. Topped by Uclick's "TMNT ? Power of 4", movie-related games led Amob.com's Top Ten for April 2007. Vivendi Games Mobile's "Blackhawk Down" and Nostromo's "Mr. Bean Racer 2" also had strong showings, with branded titles taking eight of the ten top spots.

"Clearly Southeast Asian audiences respond to well-made mobile games based on movie titles. TMNT and Mr. Bean's Holiday both did well in the box office and this success has rippled through into the mobile world, too," says Paul Meyers, Acme Mobile's CEO. "Impressively, seven of this months' Top Ten games were not on in last month's list, although some have reappeared after a few months' absence. This is the second consecutive month we've seen such a high turnover occur."
The region also continues to respond well to Vivendi Games Mobile's offering, with five games ? "Crash Racing", "Blackhawk Down", "The Legend of SpyroTM", "Crash Bandicoot Minigames" and "Spyro the Dragon" ? all appearing on the list. Falcon Mobile's "3D Rally Evolution" makes another appearance after a month's absence, as does THQ Wireless' "Company of Heroes". InLogic's fun and quirky "Ali the Penguin" rounds out the April list.
"We're not sure if two consecutive months constitute a trend, but we are starting to see branded titles dominate our Top Ten List," continues Meyers. "We believe this brand dominance reflects the larger global industry's move towards consolidation. However, as with the past couple of months, a handful of strong non-branded titles also prove to be popular."
Acme operates in five Southeast Asian countries ? Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines ? selling games, images, audio products and videos via web, WAP and SMS."
