Sprint and EA get casual

For $9.99 a month, subscribers can download six mobile games – Sudoku, Mini Golf, Mahjong, Hearts, Air Hockey and Blue Blocks – with more to be added soon.

Joe Ariganello, games manager for Sprint, said: "Since we launched the industry's first mobile game in 2000, Sprint has been the leader in mobile gaming, and we're continuing that history of innovation with the Sprint Arcade."

Sprint also announced the launch of the Sprint Digital Lounge Arcade, a PC-based try and buy arcade powered by Mpowerplayer. It complements the Sprint Play Free Games! mobile Web site, where customers can download a set number of demos each month directly to their phones.
