Digital Chocolate heading to iPhone, N-Gage and Xbox Live Arcade

Mobile game publisher Digital Chocolate plans to release its first iPhone games by the end of this year, according to founder Trip Hawkins.

What's more, the company has just finalised details of its first release for Xbox Live Arcade, too, as he explains in an interview with PocketGamer.biz.

"Microsoft has approved our first project for Xbox, which is Tower Bloxx Deluxe 3D. Our first iPhone and N-Gage apps will launch in Q4, and Xbox will follow."

The publisher is also continuing to launch free web versions of its mobile games, with 12 converted so far, and two to three more being added every month according to Hawkins.

"A typical original mobile game for us last year would only produce 10,000 page hits on a Google search, but now some of our web games will produce upwards of one million page hits from search results," he says.

For more on the company's plans, including its innovative AvaPeeps flirting application, and Hawkins's views on the 'Omni Media Market', read the full PG.biz Digital Chocolate interview.
