It finally happened: Cell Phone Gaming Hits Big-Time Stuck

We finally added a category for iPhone Apps here at OS and will start reviewing them starting this week. Cell phone sports gaming has officially hit the prime time (at least here at OS).

Is it any surprise? There are a ton of customers out there willing to shell out some good money for quality apps. With the iPhone hardware being capable of handling pseudo PSOne level graphics (at least from the naked eye), I've got some high hopes for the future.

One sign of things to come is that EA released their two most popular franchises on the iPhone this year: Madden and FIFA. Given a strong sales performance, I would be willing to bet we'll see more games pop up on the platform in the very near future. Another cool possibility is expanding games onto the platform like EA did with their Madden 10 Online Franchise app.

With how things have been developing, it was literally only a matter of time before companies tried to publish big-ticket games on the platform. One can only hope more companies jump on the bandwagon, perhaps we'll see some classics remade for the platform?

Now that the iPhone has arrived as a legitimate gaming platform, what would you like to see done on the platform? Are you a current iPhone or iPod Touch gamer? What are your favorite sports game apps?
