PlayFirst boss: 'We'll bring all our top games to iPhone'
|

Having already released Diner Dash for iPhone, casual game publisher PlayFirst isn't stopping there. The company intends to bring more of its popular PC titles to Apple's handset.

"We are very bullish on the iPhone, both in general and because our catalog and technology fit it so well, so assuming its great momentum continues you'll likely see all of our top properties there," says CEO John Welch in an interview with PocketGamer.biz.

"I can't wait to play Chocolatier, Dream Chronicles, Parking Dash, Cooking Dash, and ... oops, can't talk about that one yet!"

He also says that iPhone gaming is much more appealing to PlayFirst than Facebook at the moment, because it allows publishers to charge for their games.

"Facebook games remind me of the time before paid downloads where online games were fun, sure, but shallow and not worth paying for," says Welch.
