Former EA Games executive launches gaming company Ngmoco

In an almost diminished scenario as there are not many real players in the industry. The risk is aplenty though the future is really highly promising. Yes gaming has been taken to an all time high. Thanks to handsets like N81, I phone, and more so because of the introduction of N-gage gaming platform. But I am not talking about the symbian scenario though. Its about Neil Young.

Neil Young, a former executive in EA games has quit from his job and started a new Gaming company, Ngmoco.

Young adds that the mobile gaming industry “has been stagnant for a few years. I feel the iPhone is a real opportunity to change that industry.’”
Young rose to fame at Electronics Arts as the development executive responsible for the millions-sold success of the titles like “Lord Of The Rings” and “Sims 2.” After working on EA’s next big-hit, “Spore,” Young left the company to start Ngmoco.

Ngmoco will make and publish games for the iPhone, pushing the iconic Apple handset as a gaming platform poised to redefine the industry. Young looks at the iPhone 3G and the AppStore as perfect platforms to give mobile gaming the boost that the industry has so badly needed for the past few years.
Hope to see some challenging and really awesome games from Neil and his team
