| Mr.Goodliving Scoops Best Mobile Game Award RealNetworks' mobile games studio Mr.Goodliving scooped the award for Best Mobile Game at the prestigious Mobile Choice Consumer 2006 Awards in London on October 5th. A great evening and sparkling awards ceremony culminated when Turbo Camels: Circus Extreme came out on top. Mr.Goodliving has been creating high quality games for mobile handsets since 1999. In 2001 it became the first mobile games studio / publisher to have downloadable J2ME mobile games commercially available in Europe. In 2004 Mr.Goodliving made a major breakthrough in solving the problem of handset fragmentation, by developing the proprietary development platform EMERGE. This provides an innovative and simple solution to the problem of porting games, one of the biggest difficulties faced by mobile game studios. In May 2005 Mr.Goodliving became a fully owned subsidiary of RealNetworks, Inc. The Mr.Goodliving studio continues to create and publish games which push back the boundaries of mobile gaming. The award winning title, Turbo Camels: Circus Extreme, was released in 2006 and it's the second title in the Turbo Camels franchise. Stuart Dredge, Pocket Gamer, described it as "Bright, breezy and brilliant, Circus Extreme offers all you could ask of a mobile phone game".
