If you thought you needed to be tethered to a TV screen or computer monitor to play video games, think again. Gamers using mobile devices (such as Apple’s iPhone, the Motorola Droid, and Research in Motion’s BlackBerry) are on the rise in the United Kingdom and around the world. Mobile games are “the hottest sector of the video game industry by far,” claims Dennis Ryan, executive vice president of worldwide publishing at PopCap games.

The numbers back him up: according to a recent survey, 84 percent of surveyed gamers reported playing games on their mobile devices at least weekly.

Already, rumors of a summer release of the iPhone 5 have sent currents of intense discussion around the internet, and the release of the Amazon Appstore and Apple’s desktop App Store have provided customers additional ways to buy with their existing devices.
All in all, the omens are good for the mobile gamer? Ryan says, “As more people purchase smartphones and the entire process of finding, purchasing and playing mobile games becomes as simple as browsing the internet, the mobile games market is going to accelerate even more.”
