Well I figured that thousands of you out there plunked down $600 for a console on the mere promise of a new Metal Gear Solid game, so you might just be interested in a mobile version, especially one that only costs $10.99 ($4.99 monthly). Available today exclusively to Verizon Wireless customers (dammit), Metal Gear Solid Mobile is a full on MGS game, promising dramatic 3D art and camera work never-before-seen in a mobile game. Along with your standard stealth espionage action, the game also utilizes camera phone functionality, allowing you to take real world pictures and use them in the in-game camo system. It sounds pretty damn nifty, and the game has already won two awards at the 2008 International Mobile Gaming Awards. Unfortunately I am not a Verizon customer, or I'd let you know how it played. I'll just be hiding under this tiny little box until my carrier is deemed worthy. More »

Activision, Verizon, and Hands-On Mobile announce the immediate availability of Guitar Hero III Mobile - a Verizon exclusive. This mobile version of the game features 15 tracks from its console cousins, including "Rock You Like A Hurricane" by the Scorpions and the Red Hot Chili Peppers love ballad "Suck My Kiss". With four different guitars and three unique venues, it'll make going to the bathroom at work seem like your own personal rock concert, it it doesn't already. I don't want to know. Anyway, Verizon users with Get It Now capable phones can snag the game for $4.49 monthly access, or lay out the big bucks and play it forever for $11.99. As an AT&T Wireless subscriber, all I have to say is "poop". More »

And with the ease of slipping a DS in your pocket, who cares? Let the sheep pay too much for crappy phone gaming. But we can't help but to get a little interested over the prospect of Verizon's exclusive Guitar Hero Mobile...if only for the novelty. But according to CNET's early hands-on, it might actually be—dare we say—good?
Playing virtual guitar has gotten easier with a reduction from five keys on the console game's peripheral guitar to three on the phone. Users can choose whichever keypad row feels best.
