14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia and G-mode, one of the best casual games developers, have partnered for expanding the number of mobile multiplayer games on the world market. The first game that they will bring out on the market is Chess a Moment that challenges players at a global scale.
The game makes it possible for gamers to take part in eight different games at the same time. All chess matches are live and allow players to ponder up to 30 hours on their next move. Come to think of it, this could even mean that a game can last up to several years if the players take all their time before making a move.
This converges with the mobile mode which should also allow people to take care of engaging only partially in the game, when on the move, for killing some time. Another great advantage is that both opponents are humans and also includes chat and rankings for making interactions easier.
"Chess a Moment is a winning example of how to build an innovative and fun mobile multiplayer game that transcends many of today's network limitations. G-mode effectively brings more entertainment to mobile chess by allowing players to interact online with friends versus playing alone against a computer", considers Antoine Doumenc, Head of SNAP Mobile.
"Our cooperation with SNAP Mobile started when we entered and won the SingTel Game Quest competition in 2006. From concept to deployment, SNAP Mobile has provided the right foundation to take our concept and turn it into a reality", said Takeshi Miyaji President of G-mode.
G-mode and SNAP Mobile will be demonstrating Chess a Moment at the Tokyo Game Show. The game should be available for Nokia handset owners to enjoy by the end of this year, with high chances of other similar applications to follow.
