Slowly, oh so slowly, all the big console publishers are kicking off mobile initiatives.

The latest is Take-Two, which has announced its casual 2K Play division will release a slate of mobile and tablets games in the coming months, ranging from existing licenses to new IPs.

"From our blockbuster Carnival Games series to our exciting new original properties like Herd, Herd, Herd and our election year tie-in with Comedy Central, we're thrilled to introduce a lineup of games that are with you wherever you go," said Steve Lux, 2K Play's VP of biz dev.

Announced titles include:

Comedy Central's Indecision Game: A US election tie-in that will test your knowledge and see whether the Democrats or the Republicans are smarter.

Fiasco the Cat Starring in House Pest: Cat-based action arcade game in which you have to fix the mischievous cat's messes before your nosey neighbor or manic mother-in-law arrives.

GridBlock: The Puzzle Game You'll Flip Over: As it sounds, you have to flip, tilt, slide and shake electro-blocks into place on the GridBlock board in this gravity and maze-based puzzler.

Herd, Herd, Herd: Help Farmer Jed herd clucking chickens, panicky pigs, spunky sheep and crazy cows into their pens before time runs out.

Carnival Games MiniGolf: Includes medieval, wild west and pirate-themed mini-golf courses.
