T-Mobile UK is beefing up its Games LIVE multiplayer mobile games service with the release of four titles from THQ Wireless. Three of them are Top Trumps games, while the fourth is a new version of Worms.

The Top Trumps titles are themed around Star Wars, MotoGP and Football Legends. THQ Wireless has previously released these as Bluetooth-multiplayer games, but this is the first time they've been playable over the network.

Meanwhile, the new version of Worms is also the first time that game's been over-the-air multiplayable on regular phones.

The titles will run using Terraplay's Global Gaming Network, meaning you'll be able to play against other mobile gamers around the world.

The pricing is interesting, too. It'll cost £1 to download each game, which includes a day's free play. Then you'll have to choose whether to rent for a day (£1), two days (£2) or a week (£3) at a time.

Rest assured, we'll be getting our hands on these very soon to test how well the multiplayer features work.
