Free mobile web games from AOL

Seems like ad funded mobile games are the fad of the season. AOL has planned to offer free, ad funded mobile games for its customers. A US firm named Cellufun will offer its games through AOL’s mobile portal. These are not the usual Java games that you usually get, but mobile web games.

You can enjoy some popular games like Space Wars, Ice Fishing, and most importantly Call of the Pharaoh, which won the award for the best mobile game in Mobile World Congress last month. Adverts will be placed within the games and this will be done by Third Screen Media, the mobile advertising subsidiary of AOL. Cellufun has already got five million unique players a month accessing its games, which is a significant feat.

The main news, however, is not that. There is a game called The Mobile Ring, which is basically a boxing game with a twist. The twist is, it’s politically themed. So, you can actually fulfill your fantasy of beating the hell out of Hillary Clinton or Obama. Actually, a lot of people have that fantasy I guess. Apparently the game has been played a whopping two million times in just four months.

So, what are you waiting for? Go here and kick some ass.

This year’s presidential election is going to be special. No, not because of any political reasons – don’t you dare bring in a political angle to this blog. It’s special because you can follow the election right on your mobile phone.

So, there you go people. All that you need is a web-enabled mobile phone – you can witness history in the making.

PS: If you’re one of those people who think politics sucks and don’t care two hoots about Obama, Hillary, Romney, or Ron Paul for that matter, sorry. This post was not meant for you.

PPS: If you’re wondering who Obama, Hillary, Romney, and Ron Paul are, you need to get out of the rock you’re living under.
