anti-KRAPPS: EA Mobile

update 1/13/09: all SPORE download codes have been claimed – thank you

Ea_mobile_logo EA Mobile is the powerhouse of iPhone applications. Based near Los Angeles, in Playa Vista, California (Spanish for “ocean view” – yeah, no kidding – check out their insane building pictured below), seems these folks have the iMidasTouch – everything they touch, turns into iPhone gold.

Since the App Store opened in August 2008, EA Mobile has released eight iPhone apps, seven of which were ranked in the Top 50. At the time of this writing, five apps are still in the prestigious Top 50: Monopoly #6, Tetris #7, Scrabble #27, SimCity #36, Spore #45. Pretty freaking amazing and safe to say … all EA Mobile’s iPhone apps are 100% anti-KRAPPS Certified.

EA Mobile is a studio (yeah, the geeks got creative and coined the term “studio” rather than simply using “division”) of worldwide video game giant Electronic Arts (EA). EA launched their mobile games initiative in 2004. In 2006, EA acquired JAMDAT for $680 million (US$) and renamed the company EA Mobile. At the time, JAMDAT had 350 employees with locations worldwide: Los Angeles, Honolulu, Montreal, Tokyo, London, Bucharest and Hyderabad. The acquisition immediately positioned EA as the leading global player in the mobile video game market.

Anti-Krapps-Seal-v2GIF This year, EA Mobile will continue to strengthen their position in the market by releasing such highly anticipated iPhone games as Need for Speed Undercover and Tiger Woods 09. These apps are receiving huge buzz and are pretty much guaranteed to join their predecessors on the superbad Top 50 list, while receiving the 100% anti-KRAPPS Certified seal of approval. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for an EA Mobile fart app … come on guys, do it … take that iMidasTouch of yours and release the Golden iFarts app … it would be epic!

  • “Playa Vista” actually means “beach view”, but hey what's the beach without the ocean – and either way, they have a much better view than I do here in my cubicle overlooking a freeway in the desert!

    Ocean view would be more appropriately translated as “Vista al Mar” or “Vista del Mar”

    Thanks for the app code – and thanks for your reviews!
