Glu shuffles up with Poker Pop for mobile
Tiles meet cards in this casual game mash-up
This week, the great and good of the mobile industry are gathering in Orlando for the CTIA trade show, which can loosely be described as the North American equivalent of Europe's 3GSM – in that companies show off their wares, announce new mobile stuff, and do a lot of schmoozing.
Glu Mobile took the opportunity to announce its spring games line-up at the show. It was aimed at the US audience, and we've seen some of the games here already: Brain Genius, Project Gotham Mobile Racing and Lemmings Return, for example.
But there was one newie, Poker Pop. Based on a casual web game, it's part poker and part puzzle, taking the basic idea of poker hands and throwing a tile-based twist on top of it. It's similar thinking to that behind I-play's Jewel Quest Solitaire, or Digital Chocolate's WordKing Poker.
Anyway, Poker Pop is out in April in the US, so we'll keep you posted about any European release.
