Description
Summary:With improvements implemented on mobile phone operating systems, mobile phone games are no longer as simple as the classic game-Snake, which used to be very popular in older mobile phone models. Many popular PCs or console games have been reconfigured and redesigned for mobile phone, though not many of them function effectively on mobile phones. There is little or no work done to evaluate what is good and important to mobile phone gaming despite the fact that all mobile phone have pre-installed games. Knowing how to effectively evaluate a mobile phone game can provide meaningful guidelines on designing future games for mobile phones. If mobile phone owners experienced poor gaming interaction, they will soon lost the interest in mobile phone games.
