The impressive number of 750,000 mobile games downloaded per month has been reached only on the MobiRated website. This, along with other statistics prove the fact that mobile gaming has lately developed at a fast pace.

Other impressive numbers show that 4,5 million such games are
being downloaded each month in Korea. This translates into profits of up to USD 200 million on a monthly basis. Still, Korea is also only a small part of the world mobile gaming download, which shows that this domain is actually looking for further high development at an even larger scale.

MobiRated brings one mobile gaming offer difficult to overlook. "We offer a marketplace for hobbies and open source projects as well as for profit businesses. Games are available using different distribution models, including our FreePlay in-game advertising model and our Try&Buy demos. We also support third party advergaming and business models from companies such as HOVR. The more the merrier, as long as the product is free to the customer and is very clear about what it delivers", said President & CEO, Richard Mosher.

Free things will always be welcomed by people, especially if they are as entertaining as mobile games. Still, the fact that MobiRated has managed to reach such high download rates is not taken out of the context, taking into account the fact that this type of entertainment has lately received high appreciations, when considering these figures.

MobiRated is a wap and web portal which offers free games to mobile phone users. This includes open source, demos, ad-supported and totally free games. Moreover, users of this site can later add their own reviews and comments on the games they have downloaded and tried. MobiRated currently offers more than 350 mobile games from more than 80 developers.
