Land of the Dead - Image 1Mobile games publisher Ojom is working on resurrecting the terror of the classic zombie scare-fare Land of the Dead right in the comfort of your cell phone.

The setup is simple: You are one of the few remaining humans in a city crawling with the undead. Your mission is to kick as much zombie butt as you can while digging up scraps of food and ammo in the devastated city. In the end, it will all save the human race for some reason.

Be careful, though- the creepies are just as intent on finding a new home for your viscera in their smelly bellies. This game will be a handy steam-blower when you're stuck in traffic or really bored as it provides hours of thrills. The game is now available from all major mobile providers across London and Berlin.

Berlin-based mobile games publisher Ojom GmbH announced today that they've just launched two new games to help you get out of whatever ennui-inducing muck you're in. Both tracing their origins to the silver screen, Land of the Dead and Desperado: Dual of Vengeance are now available for cellphone users worldwide.

Land of the Dead will have users grappling their way through the undead, who have taken over the world and for some reason is out to get you. Your mission then is to kill the frikkin' zombies in all of the 11 levels and get to other survivors and help them stay alive.

Desperado: Dual of Vengeance on the other hand will have a more realistic feel to it, with players taking on the role of gunslinger extraordinaire, El Mariachi, as you set out to kill Bucho and avenge the death of the woman you love. This of course won't be that easy as you're going against big-time drug lord Bucho who has tons of coke-snorting minions. Progress through the game's 12 levels with enhanced sound and vibration effects.

Land of the Dead and Desperado: Dual of Vengeance should now be available for download from major service carriers so make sure you check with them for availability. Ojom GmbH is also bringing Duke Nukem to mobiles, so make sure you watch out for that too.

3g3G (short for third-generation technology) allows mobile phone users to download information, exchange email, enjoy music and movies, shop, and send instant messaging all from their cell phones. In addition to making telephone calls, of course. It created such a big buzz with its video telephony feature that many European companies spent billions of dollars to purchase huge licensing fees. Berlin European mobile phone companies for instance coughed up $129 billions for 3G licenses.

The scenario of a 3G world was everyone on the planet (or at least in places where 3G is available) is connected to each other through the mobile phone. Today, despite all the services available, cell phones are still used mainly for making calls. Analysts think the 3G has the potential to become the Edsel, the car nobody wanted, of the mobile phone industry.

Only 5.4% of nearly 720 million cellphone connections in Eastern and Western Europe at the end of June were 3G, says Wireless Intelligence, a joint venture of the GSM Association and the market researcher Ovum based in London. Worse, the technology is facing stiff competition from other forms of cheaper high-speed data services such as digital mobile broadcasting and WiMax.

Despite 3G's near-fatal start and high costs, it has not lost all its fans. Operators and executives say the technology is here to stay with most GSM networks being refitted to 3G standards to carry the bulk of the voice traffic. According to the GSM Association, by the end of 2007, the number of people using 3G networks will go up to 111.1 million from 62.8 million. GSM's own performance in Germany started with a dismal 10% market penetration but increased by 80% within years. They say 3G's rise in popularity will be similar because "That is how this business works."
