MobileRated Delivers Over 1 Million Mobile Game Downloads Per Month

December 7, 2007, Victoria, Canada: Do people play games on their mobile phones? With over 1 million java game downloads per month at MobileRated, the answer is obvious.

MobileRated took form in November 2006 to offer free mobile phone games to gamers around the globe. Supporting over 2000 mobile phone models and devices, including BlackBerry and other smartphones, MobileRated is a one stop shop for mobile entertainment, offering games from most mobile game developers.

"The nature of mobile phones change the gameplay dynamic, but less than many would have believed," said MobileRated president, Richard Mosher. "Some people see the medium as only effective for simple, casual games but we've had great success with certain highly engaging action games too. The truth is that successful games work within the limitations of the hardware they run on. Older and/or cheaper phones have more limitations and thus fewer successful game paradigms. New phone models incorporate significant capabilities and allow for gameplay that few could envision on a mobile phone as little as one year ago. The marketplace is not stagnating, it is evolving. Our downloads have grown 33% in a little more than three months and I firmly believe we are only scratching the surface of the true marketplace today."

MobileRate offers games in a variety of distribution models. Games are always available for free to customers. However, options are available for developers to monetize their products. Using Kalador's (http://www.kalador.com) FreePlay technology, developer games are automatically converted to provide in-game advertising, at no cost or expense to the developer. Customers can view the ads and play the game for free, or may purchase the game outright anytime after downloading it, and the ads will be automatically removed for them. It is really the best of both worlds, and encourages customers to try out new games without undue expense or effort.

Mobile developers have difficulty reaching their intended audience today due to gatekeepers and structural limitations built into the mobile distribution system by carriers. Only a handful of large publishers successfully distribute games directly to major carriers and have limited deck space to promote product, so many games are ignored by these channels. MobileRated removes the roadblock while allowing the best games to shine. Every game download is tracked and each game rated and reviewed providing the ultimate evaluation experience for the customer. With over 1 million downloads per month - and growing - MobileRated delivers a customer-pleasing experience every time.
