三家表态支持Google，Android首批游戏亮相

三大家用机的取舍是否曾令你心烦意乱？别担心，这跟日后掌上娱乐一族在选择掌机时的烦恼比起来可能根本算不了什么。苹果的介入使得掌机市场不再是索尼和任天堂的天下，而Google的乱入则让这场竞争演变成四方割据。

就在昨天，NBGI旗下的Namco Networks公布了对应Google手机Android的首款游戏作品，相信不少人已经猜到了，没错就是《吃豆人》（新闻稿在下一页）。与苹果的iPhone和iTouch首发游戏阵容相比，只有一款游戏的Android显得有些势单力薄。

好在这种情况并没有持续太久，Gameloft公司今天也宣布将为Android开发原创游戏，而且一下子就有10款新作预定推出。另外，Glu Mobile公司也预定为Android制作一款独占游戏《盆景风暴》，同样使用触摸屏，玩法据说类似《祖玛》。

Gameloft方面没有公布10款游戏的具体名单，但透露说游戏的上市日期将在未来1年之内，而且他们手里应该有不少备选方案，比如《午夜桌球》和手机版的《音乐方块》。

US, September 23, 2008 - Namco Networks, a leading publisher and developer of mobile games and entertainment for mass-market casual gamers, today announced the availability of the arcade classic Pac-Man on the first Android-powered device, announced today by T-Mobile. When the phone launches, Pac-Man will be available to consumers in the Android Market at no charge, giving owners of the new T-Mobile G1 handset full access to the game which usually retails for $9.99.

"We are thrilled to launch Pac-Man on the flagship Android-powered device," said Scott Rubin, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Namco Networks. "To encourage consumers to checkout Pac-Man on the G1, we are picking up the tab for the game. We want consumers to see how great Pac-Man looks on this device and how well it plays on the Android platform."

Who can forget the countless hours and quarters spent avoiding the pesky ghosts while chompin' on the dots? In addition to the classic and addictive game play, Pac-Man, the most popular video game in American arcade history, has been upgraded to fully utilize the T-Mobile G1's features. Taking advantage of the device's large screen, Pac-Man on the T-Mobile G1 includes three unique control schemes:

Swipe Mode allows players to direct Pac-Man's path by simply swiping in the direction you want to travel.
Track Mode lets players zip through mazes using the phone's trackball.
Accelerometer Mode allows players to control Pac-Man by tilting the phone in the direction they want to move.
