Gameloft Launches Mobile Games for Touch Screen Handsets

Gameloft has announced the launch of a range of games designed especially for touch screen mobile handsets.
Using expertise gained in developing stylus-based games for the Nintendo DS, Gameloft sought out ways to best utilize the touch screens, which transform gameplay into a more intuitive experience and remove the limitation of small keyboards.

Gameloft has more than 15 touch screen games in its catalogue already. These games were developed for the first touch screen mobile phones available on the market, including the LG Viewty, LG KS20, the HTC touch screen line, and the Samsung SGH-F700. Gameloft's touch screen games were initially developed in Java, though some will also be developed on the Windows Mobile platform.
