The mobile phone is fast becoming the UK’s most played and most popular games platform as there are no barriers to who can play or where. In fact, according to industry analysts Screen Digest, the UK mobile games market will be worth over £50m in 2003, a figure which will quadruple to £211m by 2006. The Vodafone live! Arcade takes mobile games on tour to ten cities to find the country’s best mobile gamers. The winners of these regional competitions will then be invited to a national final in London where they’ll compete for the title of UK Mobile Games Champion. The events, which will be hosted by Aleks Krotoski, the star of Channel 4’s Bits and Thumb Bandits, will give the public a chance to experience this rapidly developing phenomenon for themselves while playing some of the world’s best mobile games. The ten regional winners will take away £700 worth of mobile games goodies, including two Sharp GX-10is, while the national winner will also win a luxury holiday in Ibiza. Every entrant to the championship also receives a £20 mobile discount voucher. Venues: Glasgow |
