O2 mobile game download charts and new releases: February 2nd
Brains, brawn and beauty come to mobile, but they're still less popular than boxes
February may be the shortest month, but it's already shaping up to be a busy one for mobile games, with four notable new releases appearing on O2's portal this week.
There really is something for everyone, whether you're into brains (Brain Genius), brawn (RBS 6 Nations Rugby), beauty (Desperate Housewives) or, erm brains again (Darkest Fear 3).
Then again, it seems the majority are still more interested in 'boxes', with Gameloft's Deal or No Deal yet again sitting pretty atop the chart this week and LMA Manager (penalty boxes? sorry...) closing in from second place.
In the meantime, all of the games below are available to buy right now via the O2 games portal, or by simply texting the number below from a compatible O2 handset.
New releases February 2nd
