Sneaky Samsung. It may be bigging up its new phones on the booth below, but if you make your way upstairs, you can get to play on a new version of iPhone brawler Kroll running on the new Omnia HD touchscreen handset (that's running in 640 x 360 pixels to you and me).

And, frankly, the game looks absolutely amazing. Compared to the iPhone version, this new HD version (well, that's what we're currently calling it), has all manner of added graphics, including beautiful particle effects for atmospheric smoke and explosions, plus shader lighting effects, which bring in another graphical dimension.

Sad to say, we don't have official screenshots, so you'll just have to make do with these photos - but believe us when we say, this is one of the most gorgeous mobile games we've seen.

The playable version featured a couple of levels plus a boss battle, so we'd assume the game's still in development. But certainly we'll be finding out ASAP what we can from developer Digital Legends - both in terms of how the graphics were updated and how they plan to deal with the switch from the iPhone multi-touch.

In the meantime, enjoy the view.
