EA's Big New Mobile Game Is... Scrabble_ Again_

By Alex Chen | January 01, 0001

EA Mobile plans to announce a slew of new games for the iPhone at their summit this morning; among them Tiger Woods, Need for Speed, Wolfenstein RPG and Star Trek. But when I arrived at the EA Mobile rummy nobel hands-on session, the only game they had to show me was rummy nobel Scrabble. Which came out like a year ago. What gives?(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Well — to EA Mobile, what’s important here is “delivering on the promise of mobile.” To do that, rummy royal says VP Travis Boatman, a company has to have a great device to work with with a great operating system Yono all app and a great merchandising-distribution platform. “We’ve always believed in mobile,” said Boatman. “We’re in this for the long haul. And it’s not going to stop here.” So when we got Scrabble on both Facebook and iPhone last year, that wasn’t the end of it for EA Mobile. With the release of the Apple 3.0 firmware for rummy royal the iPhone, they’ve connected the two versions so you can play Yono all app against up to four people cross-platform (well, cross iPhone/PC). I have to admit, this is pretty slick. You can see the moves your PC-bound buddy makes without refreshing the screen on your iPhone and you can even carry on a chat in the chat box. But as nifty as it is, it’s still not Wolfenstein RPG. Look for the update to your Scrabble app sometime tomorrow or — if there’s some SNAFU on the Apple side — sometime over the next few days.

Some games take a while to load on mobile, but once they start, the gameplay is smooth and exciting. I hope future updates improve mobile performance, but I still enjoy playing several hours a day.

Some games are a bit laggy on my phone at times, but the variety of games and the smooth desktop experience make up for it. Overall, the website offers a great gaming experience for both casual and serious players.
