Verizon Wireless reveals best mobile games of summer 2009

Best in terms of sales, that is. You may recognise them.

Verizon Wireless has published a chart of the ten best-selling mobile games on its Get It Now portal for this summer, covering June to September.

The list has a familiar feel, if you've seen any operator mobile games chart in the last five years:

1. Tetris
2. Bejeweled
3. The Sims 3
4. Guitar Hero World Tour
5. Pac-Man
6. Scrabble
7. World Series of Poker Pro
8. Where's Waldo?
9. The Oregon Trail
10. Monopoly Here & Now

It's hard to draw any interesting or new conclusions from the list, other than to say whoever manages the Verizon account at EA Mobile is probably in line for a decent bonus this year.

Meanwhile, Verizon has also launched a new sports service called PlayMaker Mobile. It's part news service and part social network, with user profiles sitting alongside blogs from a selection of athletes, who'll also be logging in to chat to users.

Verizon customers are charged $4.99 for a monthly subscription to the PlayMaker Mobile application.
