Hi.

I'm interested in seeing REAL games (not the ones that populates every page / P2P network made by 1 person, with poor desing / graphics / not full screened /etc) from companies that sells them.

I found Glu, which I really don't know what it is; thought it was a company that made games but then, they offer a lot of games from other companies (Atari, BitMap Brothers, etc.). So my questions are:

1) I need a name to "search" for commercial games, a company: Glu, MacroSpace, PopCap, something like that; one that produces games for mobiles

2) Just for curiosity... what is EXACTLY Glu?

Thanks in advance.

Prince of Persia (Sands of time) is the best mobile game I found so far. Other than that I’ve also found Tomb Raider and Colin McRally which are also based on some of the popular PC/Console games.
