    The next Hunger Games mobile game is coming from Kabam

    If there's one thing you can count on in this crazy, ever-changing world, it's that any IP that blows up in almost any form of pop culture is going to get turned into a mobile game.In the case of The Hunger Games, there have already been a few attempts to turn the mega-popular franchise into mobile gaming gold. But neither Hunger Games: Girl on Fire (which did not feature this song) nor The Hunger Games Adventures really caught on in a way that would tilt the odds ever in the favor of their makers.Lionsgate is looking to change that.

    So says a report by the Nielsen company (yes, the same one best known for giving the world TV ratings) released yesterday that tracks the habits of gamers in the U.S. ages 13 and up. It found that gaming on smartphones and tablets made serious strides between 2011 and 2013, which shouldn't surprise anyone. What was a little more eye-opening was the percentage of people who self-classify as console gamers who also report playing mobile games: 50 percent, up from 35 percent back in 2011.That doesn't mean that the negative stigma mobile games have in some corners of the overall gaming community has completely gone away. All it takes is a visit to the right comments section when a beloved console or PC franchise announces a mobile spin-off to prove that.

    Get Rich or Die Gamin’: Skillz Cash Tournaments Comes to iOS

    By

    From the "it was bound to happen eventually" file comes this: a mobile games network that allows players to compete across a number of titles with real money at stake.Android gamers may know about Skillz already, since the service has already been live there for a while. The big announcement today is that the "world's premier cash tournament platform for mobile games" is now available on iOS, launching on the App Store with more than 150 games live right now. The company is promising thousands more from a wide variety of developers.In a system not unlike online poker in its heyday, Skillz allows players to compete for free using a virtual currency called Z (a letter the company obviously really likes). Anyone who wants to play for real stakes can deposit real money and use it to enter tournaments that award cash prizes to the winners.
