Gameloft breaks 20 million paid apps
Gameloft has announced that it has broken the 20 million download mark across all of its paid apps. That's a huge number, and it shows that the company has really latched on to the iPhone as a huge market for its mobile games. Gameloft hasn't been slow on development at all -- the French company has released 47 games this year, and of those, 42 have hit the Top Grossing top five, and 25 have reached number one. Gameloft hits from the past include Hero of Sparta, the remade Oregon Trail, FPS title NOVA, and the mobile version of Assassin's Creed. They're not done yet -- Dungeon Hunter 2 is due out later on this year, as is the HD version of Assassin's Creed, and an interesting title called Star Battalion. Gameloft's titles are always very well made, and it's good to see that its popularity has landed it a spot in the growing pantheon of successful App Store developers and publishers.

They should consider putting more time an effort into script writing and voice acting. NOVA is cool, don't get me wrong, but the horrible story is constantly interrupting what is otherwise pretty good gameplay.

No way in heck. The most horrible, over-saturated textures possible, never an original idea, and the worst support in the world. I bought N.O.V.A. when it launched, and online multi-player has YET to be fixed. It always crashes when I click it. It has been like, a year?
I can say, even though they are always delayed months and months, that EA does make better games. Heck, I've found many games even from small developers that trump anything from Gameloft. (If we forget about the iPad and it's amazingly useful display.) Gameloft's iPad games look good. And that's it.
Gameloft also ports games over to Palm's webOS..Do these numbers include webOS users or is this just App Store?

Gameloft games are popular, so I assume that the greatest minds at Gameloft are currently hard at work trying copy those same Gameloft games.
"STAR is a copy of NOVA which of course is a copy of HALO. We can't lose!"
What a horrible thing to do to 20 million people...

That's a pretty poor article title...
That's exactly the same thought I had.
