Vivendi Mobile announces first-half 2008 lineup

Vivendi Games Mobile has unveiled its first-half 2008 lineup of mobile games, including titles based upon film and television licenses.

"The titles that launch over the next few months position us strongly for the start of our second full year in the industry," said Paul Maglione, president of Vivendi Games Mobile. "The lineup features a wide range of genres, as well as an ideal balance between big licensed brands and owned IP."

"Coupled with the continuing strong performances of the titles launched in '07, which culminated with a 2007 Spike TV Video Game Award for Best Casual Title for The Incredible Machine, the games we're announcing today will provide a strong opening quarter for us in 2008, and will pave the way for more blockbusters to come."

Vivendi Games Mobile's first-half releases will include Celebrity Hangman, Crash Nitro Kart 2, Prison Break, Pub Darts 180, The Bourne Conspiracy, The Spiderwick Chronicles and Wordox: Word Snatcher.

Vivendi Games Mobile, a division of Vivendi Games, has its headquarters, operations and an internal development team in Paris, a US-based team in Los Angeles and its Centerscore studio in San Mateo, California. Its games are distributed by more than 90 operators and dozens of Web portals in 60 countries around the world.
