Infinity Blade, Plants vs. Zombies among International Mobile Gaming Awards winners

The seventh annual International Mobile Gaming Awards ceremony has concluded at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, and two US-developed titles came away with special honors. Infinity Blade from Epic Games garnered an award for Excellence in Design (we'd have also given it Supreme Overall Awesomeness) while PopCap's Plants vs. Zombies was picked as Best Casual Game.

European winners included Perfect Cell by France's Mobigame (People's Choice Award); FDG's Beyond Ynth (Excellence in Gameplay, Grand Prix Award) and Snowboard Hero by Fishlabs (Excellence in Gameplay, Operators' Choice) from Germany; the UK-made Papa Sangre by Somethin' Else (Most innovative Game); and AR invaders by Israel-based dev Soulbit (Best Real World Game).

Mobile games will get their next chance to shine at GDC 2011, during both the IGF Awards and Game Developers Choice Awards on March 2.

Yo peter pham! I'mma let you finish but Infinity Blade is the awesomest game on the iPhone of all time!

One of the best iPhone games of all time!

I couldn't get into it. I still have in on my phone and every now and then load it up, but I just don't think it's for me. It is definitely pretty on the retina display, but I still am not a big fan of touch controls. This other game I have, zen bound 2 is also quite pretty and is optimized for touch and is darn fun

Totally agree. It's a perfect blend of depth and mobility, in it's pick up and play availability. Don't forget that this is on a phone.

I was skeptical at the price at first, but after playing through it and collecting all the weapons and achievements, I think it is priced right. Especially with future content built into that.

Wait, what? That's an IPHONE GAME? Where was I when this was released?

Holy crap, now this gives me hope for the NGP. If the Iphone can pull something like this, now imagine what the NGP can do!
