No More Snake

I’m not sure who - if anyone - is actually an “avid” mobile gamer, but this story on the death of free cell phone games made me sad.  I always liked Freecell and Snake, but I have yet to meet a cell phone title that I thought was worth more than a dollar - and very few that met even that low threshold. 

It seems to me that mobile gaming still has a very long way to go before it becomes a viable alternative (or even substitute) for “real” consoles, and the success of recent titles like Orcs & Elves doesn’t reassure me.  I don’t demand a lot, but a decent control system is pretty crucial and so far the vast majority are terrible.
