GameStop Launching Free Android Games with Kongregate’s Flash Arcade

GameStop has introduced the Kongregate Arcade, a new smartphone application that allows customers to access over 300 free Android games. This arcade is available on Android 2.2 and above OS with Flash 10.1. It provides access to hundreds of popular flash-based games including Vector Runner, Assembler, Perfect Balance 2, Barry Lost His Marbles, Billy’s Hill and G-Switch. It is also adding many more titles every week to expand its collection and offer social media features like community achievements, exclusive badges and comment sharing.

Kongregate said that it will work with its 8500 developer partners to get more titles for Android. This arcade will be promoted by GameStop across its 4,600 U.S. locations.

Mobile gaming is becoming a big thing nowadays with several big game developers taking leaps and bounds. For example, Facebook and Zynga made a five year deal to be together after seeing the success of FarmVille. Zynga has also launched its second most popular game of the moment, CityVille. It has managed to captivate  around 16.8 million users that is more than FarmVille. It has also received a secret investment of $100-$200 million from Google that clearly signifies the broad expansion of Zynga’s social network gaming.
