EA announced today that it will create mobile versions of financially beleaguered Eidos Interactive's franchises. EA now holds the licenses to "all existing mobile channels and devices" for Tomb Raider Underworld, Just Cause 2, California Games X and Minesweeper. EA has the option of doing mobile versions of most Eidos games for the next three years.
The Tomb Raider and Just Cause titles will be based off the upcoming sequels, while California Games X will be a "brand new version" of the '87 Commodore 64 game (hacky sack, y'all!). Of course, Minesweeper is the game which has been packaged with Windows since 1992.

You can get it for free for most smartphones. I have a version of Minesweeper on an old Palm IIIx.

I haven't been impressed by a single iPhone game yet. I have the crash racing game, monkey ball and a few other games. So far the tilt mechanic is just awful for mobile gaming.

Ugh. Of all the great Commodore 64 games to bring into the 21st century, they picked California Games?
MAIL ORDER MONSTERS you mooks! It's begging to be remade with online play.
How about Archon I & II on top of that?
Jeez. Old EA games rocked, back when they weren't a power-mad corporation run by lawyers. They have a back catalog that would be very welcome on modern consoles and handhelds.
