Since its inception four years ago, the Edge Awards have been a key part of the Edinburgh Interactive Entertainment Festival. This year, they are joined by a new prize, the EIEF Edge Mobile Award, in recognition of the fact that the overall quality of mobile game design has improved dramatically in recent years. Mobile games are synonymous with accessible, quick-fire gaming, so to reflect that, the EIEF Edge Mobile Award is voted for by readers of Edge and Edge Online, and you'll only have until August 10 to decide which of our shortlist deserves your vote. Read on to find out which games have made the cut, and to find out how to vote.
I think that Award should go to O2, due to its ever changing mobile gamming industry.
The O2 sponsored gamesTM Awards 2004 celebrate the best games in the industry across all platforms. The glitzy ceremony, which took place last night at a top London venue, attracted a strong crowd of A-list games industry experts, developers and publishers and paid tribute to some of the best names in the business.
The awards covered fifteen categories in total honouring all aspects of the games industry from 'Game of the Year' to 'Best Visuals'. Nine of the night's categories were voted for by gamesTM's top panel of industry judges, with the remaining six voted for by Games TM readers* for the first time in the history of the awards.
O2 aims to enrich customer's lives by enabling them to get the most from their mobile. As a leading provider of mobile services to consumers and businesses in the UK, O2 offers a range of services including text, media messaging, games, always on data connections (via "GPRS"), music over mobile and mobile video. O2 is the UK market leader in mobile data services such as text, with three quarters of a billion messages being sent by O2 customers each month.
O2 was formed in 2001 following the demerger from British Telecom of its former mobile business, BT Wireless. O2 (UK) Limited is a subsidiary of mm O2 plc which also delivers O2 branded services in Ireland and Germany. O2 has over 13.5 million customers in the UK.
Mobile Gaming I would say is a bit expensive, although as Nick said, 02 are probably good candidates, as they are very lifestyle and business orientated as a network provider.
