Korea is a nice place for gamers especially with the country's reliable broadband and country-wide acceptance of games. Professional gamers are actually treated like rockstars over there. Some gamers even download games to their mobile and use those to practice for the real thing. Things are bound to change though as mobile phones get "smarter" and faster; mobile games too are headed toward the same changes.

Some mobile games have been ported from consoles, and that itself is an interesting fact as you get to play games you also enjoy playing in living room consoles. But that's not really a big deal since we're already so used to that. So what if we tell you that you'll be using your mobile phones to play MMO games? And what if we tell you now that for the first time in mobile-gaming history, the character in the game will be able to walk to eight different directions. Now that's more interesting.

We'll take a look at this list of MMO games ported to the mobile phones.

Koguryo Heroes-Chumong - This is a game similar to Dynasty Warriors. It's a large scale game where there will be multiple opponents appearing all at the same time, inside your mobile phone screen, thanks to the graphics engine used.

Epic Chronicle II is more along the lines of Final Fantasy. It includes a lot story development, missions and quests.

Imo: The World of Magic is similar to a game called Ragnarok. It's also got quite a lot of cute sprites, missions, and quests.

Lastly, there'll be Fist of Blast 2006. This is for those who like fighter games. It's almost like The King of Fighters. It introduces a new command system that'll allow you to use 150 attacks. This is martial arts action in the palm of your hand.

Hopefully, we'll be able to see an increase in online gaming not only for the consoles, but also the mobile. We'll be on the lookout for more info as we get it.
