Final Fantasy Cell Phone Game Reaches 2 Million Downloads
How big are cell phones in Japan? If Final Fantasy IV The After is any indication, pretty damn big.

It was released earlier this year in February, and new "chapters" appear on a near monthly basis. More »

Professor De Marco and the Mysterious Cell Phone Part 3: The Reveal
Yesterday the truth was finally revealed behind the mysterious cell phone received in the mail a few weeks back. I was still pretty unsure of exactly what was going to go down yesterday, so I sent a final text message through the phone asking what was going on. More » -

Professor De Marco The Curious Cell Phone: Part 2
You may have read last week about a mysterious cell phone that was sent my way with no return address. A series of text messages informed me that I would hear word on the 24th on my "assignment." I checked in on the phone yesterday evening and sure enough there was another text message, this one slightly more ominous than the first... More » -

In the game, players will be investigating the seedy side of Las Vegas (does it have a non-seedy side?) and will receive help and clues from the in-game characters in the form of real cell phone messages.

Professor De Marco and The Curious Cell Phone
While I waslazing about the houseworking hard yesterday I received a Fed-Ex delivery. Not that this is anything unusual, I get Fed-Ex packages fairly regularly but upon looking at the slip I noticed that there was nothing filled in in the senders area. But it clearly said To: Flynn De Marco - Kotaku so I figured it was some kind of game thing. After getting over my initial fear that it might be the head of Gwyneth Paltrow, I opened it to discover a small Nokia phone. No note, no press release, none of the things that usually accompany such things. So I figured I'd go ahead and plugged it in and left the house for the day. Upon my return I heard an unfamiliar jangling and realized it was the phone informing me that I had a text message. I checked it to discover the following missive. More » -

Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep and Final Fantasy: Dissidia Screens
Famitsu is currently hosting some new Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep (PSP) and Final Fantasy Dissidia screens. Also available are screens for Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days (DS) and Kingdom Hearts: Coded (cell phone). I got a chance to check out trailers for all of these games at TGS and was on the whole not terribly impressed by the latter two titles although Birth By Sleep looks like it will be the best of the lot. Dissidia also looks great as far as the graphics are concerned, but for gameplay, we'll just have to wait and see. More » -

Silent Hill Ringtones From Verizon
I've been playing quite a bit of Silent Hill: Origins lately and was lucky enough to have met Yamaoke himself at E for All, so when Kotakuite Jesterhead369 dropped me this note in my inbox it piqued my interest. If you have a Verizon phone, you can download several Silent Hill ringtones including the popular Theme of Laura. Each ring will set you back $2.99 for the privilege of carrying a bit of creepy town with you. Unfortunately , I don't have a Verizon phone, but hopefully with the iPhone I hope to get for Christmas and my SH2 soundtrack CD (autographed even!), I can cobble together my own SH ringtone to disturb passers by.

Use Your Windows Mobile Cell Phone To Host a LAN party
Let's face it, not everyone on the planet has access to high speed internet. Some people living out in remote areas just can't get the kinds of service us fancy, city dwelling folk do. Such was the problem for D15AV0W3D over at The Hushed Casket. After exhausting every available resource to get a high speed connection, he thought he was doomed to dial-up for the rest of his life, never being able to catch up with our rapidly changing modern world. But, with some ingenuity and the help of a Samsung i607 Blackjack phone with AT&T's Edge connection he was able to accomplish the seemingly impossible. More » -

Japan's Cell Phone Obsession
I always thought the phenomenon of cell phones had reached monumental proportions in the U.S., but it's nothing compared to what it's like here in Japan. A ride on the train will have you seeing at least ten to fifteen people on each car with phones out presumably texting or playing games on them. The there's the cell phone charms. They are HUGE over here. Practically everyone has one or two or thirty dangling off their phone. Some are so large they are bigger than the phones. For example, one gal I saw had no less than three small plush animals attached making it impossible to put in a pocket or the tiny purse she was carrying. More » -

Raise Babies On Your Cell Phone
Raising children is easy. If I can do it — Better yet, if Crecente can do it, anyone can. Even Tiffany! Come On Baby, which is hitting UK cell phones soon-ish, is Cooking Mama, but with children and no knifes. The game stars buxom Tiffany, who has just started up her own nursery. Players must change diapers, feed babies and boiling milk to turn her nursery into a "five star baby motel." The game's publisher Ozura proclaims it is: More »

You Call This A Nintendo Cell Phone?
A patent has popped up that Nintendo filed back in November 2001. It is for a "mobile phone type electronic apparatus" that contains a CPU for a phone and a CPU for game related process. In a sentence: It's a cell phone that pauses gameplay when there's an incoming call. That button placement, though, looks extremely uncomfortable! But Yoshi to that patent drawing? Cute. More »

Massively Hormonal Online Game
Digital Chocolate ("With a Name Like That, We've Got to Be Vaguely Distasteful") has announced a dating video game aimed at teens and their cell phones. With "The Hook Up: AvaFlirting," you can create a little cell-phone avatar and flirt with other peoples' cell phone avatars in a cruel, deformed mockery of human relations. Details are scant, but apparently the game will be part virtual pet, part virtual dating, and all PG-13. While parents' groups may end up being worried about the implications on semi-anonymous virtual "dating," linguists will be more concerned about the mind-boggling awkwardness of the word "AvaFlirting."
