It looks like Nvidia will have some renewed competition in not just Android GPUs, but also in terms of mobile gaming as whole, if today’s announcement by Qualcomm is anything to go by.

The company has just announced its Snapdragon Games Pack initiative - high-end Android titles from leading mobile publishers that will be optimised to run on the new generation of Snapdragon processors and Adreno GPUs.

Among the names and titles included in the initiative is Gameloft (Modern Combat 2), Guild Software (the formerly Tegra-only Vendetta Online), Namco Bandai (Pool Pro Online 3), and Com2us (Home Run Battle 3D).

So far the Qualcomm website lists 73 titles that will be optimised for the new chipset, but the company will no doubt look be looking to persuade more Android developers and publishers to utilise its Adreno tools in the future.
