HotGen has announced the release of Brain Surge for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Brain Surge, as you may have guessed from the name, is a collection of brain games for all ages. The brain games are in the form of puzzles that get you thinking. Players are able to play single player, by themselves, or with up to three of their friends.

HotGen feels the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch are the next great devices in mobile gaming and they are positioning themselves to take advantage of that phenomenon.

“iPhone and iTouch have the potential to be bigger than any other single handheld gaming platform – past or present. The impulse purchase price points, superior screen and ease of use of the devices make this a really interesting proposition for publishing and development.”

The iPhone and iPod Touch do make convenient gaming devices, but are they really the next big thing in mobile gaming? Guess we will have to wait and see how it plays out.

Press Release Follows:

7th January 2009 – Croydon, U.K. – HotGen, one of Europe’s most innovative game development studios, today announced its first foray into developing and publishing games on Apple’s iPhone and iTouch with the release of ‘Brain Surge!’

Terry Haynes, Producer at HotGen said, “iPhone and iTouch have the potential to be bigger than any other single handheld gaming platform – past or present. The impulse purchase price points, superior screen and ease of use of the devices make this a really interesting proposition for publishing and development. We’ll be creating our own, original games as well as leverage our experience in working with major brands to interpret other properties into compelling and valuable customer experiences. Development times are very short allowing brands to react very quickly to market forces – that’s not possible on any other platform except the PC, which just doesn’t have that same show off factor.”

He continued, “Our track record in developing mass market interactive toys like the plug and play TV games has proven that there’s a huge demand out there for games that don’t revolve around a traditional console.”

Apple’s 3G iPhone shipped 6,892,000 units in Q4 2008 alone.
