Sony To Offer Games Through Verizon

Verizon Wireless, builder and operator of one of the largest cellular networks in the USA and Sony Pictures Television today announced Verizon Wireless customers can now access four new games based on some of the studio’s feature films and television shows: “James Bond: Top Agent,” “Rock & Roll Jeopardy!,” “Wheel of Fortune Deluxe” and “Afterworld.” Why not bring these games to the iPhone via the App Store? Sony should totally start putting $9.99 minigames in there. The iPhone is much more capable and a much stronger market right now for any mobile gaming software provider.

The games:

In “James Bond: Top Agent” players must create their own secret agents to battle classic Bond enemies and villains from a number of their favorite Bond films. Players can collect weapons and gain experience points to build their own agents into powerful and unstoppable forces.

Rock & Roll Jeopardy!” is the musical sequel to the mobile game “Jeopardy! Deluxe,” based on the hugely popular syndicated game show. This rock n’ roll version features specialized content, thematic artwork and gameplay enhancement, where players compete against two AI players for virtual cash.

In “Wheel of Fortune Deluxe” players solve puzzles updated daily from the writers of the popular television series in a newly designed interface. “Wheel of Fortune Deluxe” also features updated animations and a new Toss-Up Round mode.

Afterworld,” which is exclusive to Verizon Wireless, deals with the aftermath of a global event called The Fall, where most of humanity is gone, along with all technology. As a survivor, it’s up to players to find their families and build communication towers to help regain Global Contact, in turn saving the world.

“We’re committed to maintaining our status as a leader in providing high-quality mobile games and video content, and Verizon Wireless has been a great partner in helping us achieve our goals,” said Eric Berger, senior vice president of mobile entertainment and digital networks, Sony Pictures Television.

Verizon Wireless customers can purchase and download the games from the TV/Movie/Music Games category in the Games shopping aisle of the Get It Now(R) or Media Center virtual store for a $3.99 monthly subscription or $7.99 unlimited use purchase on a number of popular phones from Verizon Wireless. Customers can purchase and download “Afterworld” from the Verizon Exclusives category for $6.99 unlimited use purchase. Application purchase prices and subscription fees may vary; unless customers have unlimited data features, airtime or megabyte charges may also apply when browsing, downloading and using certain applications.
