The Android platform looks to have a huge amount of gaming support as more and more developers and publishers are making announcements. Today Connect2Media announced a dozen.

Connect2Media announced its support for the recently launched Google Android open platform, and its intention to develop twelve native games for the launch of the commercial storefront. The first of these titles will be available in the first quarter of 2009 and the initial releases will include ‘4 in a Row EX’, a fresh and updated version of the familiar and popular game, and ‘Classic Card Games EX’, a compelling three-in-one collection of card games featuring evergreen favorites, hearts, spades and rummy. Connect2Media will also bring a brand-new and groundbreaking, as yet-to-be-announced, multi-platform franchise to Google Android, details of which are coming soon.

Google Android is an all new open mobile platform that incorporates an extensive multi-media feature set that helps deliver an enhanced mobile gaming experience to the consumer. Connect2Media’s development of these twelve Android titles follows its mission of being a 360-degree entertainment company. The games will be part of a larger release schedule that encompasses true cross-platform compatibility including Apple iPhone, Xbox360 and Nintendo Wii. This strategy will allow consumers to concentrate on the games rather than whether it will work on a specific device, making for a truly seamless gaming experience.

“The launch of these games for Android reinforces our intention to be a developer and publisher of high quality casual games for multiple platforms and it also shows our commitment to new and exciting ways of gaming,” said Eric Hobson, CEO of Connect2Media. “In addition to these twelve games we are looking forward to bringing other titles to market that capitalise on Android’s unique game enhancing features.”
