    EA said in 2009 it would launch for N-Gage also Need For Speed Undercover, Tiger Woods PGA Tour and The Sims 3.

    The world's top mobile phone maker Nokia launched in April its new N-Gage gaming service which aims to ease the mobile gaming industry's key challenges: making them easy to find and buy.

    A link to N-Gage is placed directly on the phone's home screen and offers free trial versions of games.

    "We're committed to exploring methods to make the experience of finding, buying and playing mobile games easier and more compelling and N-Gage gives us a robust ecosystem," EA Mobile's Peter Parmenter, Director, Worldwide OEM, said in the statement.

    EA's classic Tetris has topped N-Gage most sold games list for the last three weeks in a row. (Reporting by Tarmo Virki)
