Call of the Pharaoh and My Hangman joint winners of GSMA Best Mobile Game Award
Global Mobile Awards 2008 judges couldn't split them
The results of the GSM Association Global Mobile Awards 2008 are in and there's been something of a surprise decision with regards to the main gaming category. Unable to decide between Cellufun's Call of the Pharaoh and Glu Mobile's My Hangman, the judges have declared them joint winners.
Commenting on Cellufun's entry, the jury said: "Call of the Pharaoh introduces social networking to games, you can't win this all on your own, you need to call in your buddies. Beware, don't start this just before bedtime or you will spend all night on it!"
And with regards to Glu's effort: "My Hangman takes a traditional game we've all played as children, added some clever twists, and brought into the 21st century by making it highly personalised and adding your own photos to the game is really good fun too."
Which has left us thinking it's something of an unexpected choice. That's awards for you, though, so we'll shut up. But before we do, we'll obviously congratulate the winners on their shared success.
