Today at the JavaOne 2008 Conference, Glu Mobile Inc.
(Nasdaq:GLUU), a leading global publisher of mobile games,
announced its upcoming original title, Get Cookin�, will utilize
motion-sensitive technology available on new Sony Ericsson Mobile
Communications AB (�Sony Ericsson�) handsets. The use of this
technology challenges players to use a combination of physical
gestures as well as button presses to create sophisticated
cuisines, bringing an entirely new ingredient to mobile games. Get
Cookin� is a new title from Glu launching in July 2008 across all
major carriers worldwide. Get Cookin� challenges players to create
delicious cuisine by perfecting a wide variety of cooking methods,
ingredients, seasonings and recipes. Gamers with the Sony Ericsson
W910i, debuted earlier this year at the Consumer Electronics Show
in Las Vegas, will utilize motion-specific techniques to complete
enticing meals in order to rise to the top of their profession.
�Sony Ericsson�s motion sensor technology allows us to incorporate
more authentic, true to life challenges in Get Cookin� and
introduce an entirely new dimension to mobile games,� said Alex
Galvagni, chief technology officer and senior vice president of
global product development, Glu. �The use of this technology gives
developers a way to deepen the gameplay and gives players a truly
fun game that incorporates all new ways to play.� The built-in
accelerometer in the Sony Ericsson W910i is used to control game
functions such as flipping a steak in a pan by utilizing its
sensitivity to allow for a more intense and physical gaming
experience. Get Cookin� will utilize the JSR 256 API motion sensor
found inside the W910i and several other new Sony Ericsson devices.
