PopCap, Glu and RealNetworks join Exent's all-you-can-play subscription platform GameTanium
On the back of a 30 game deal with Nickelodeon and a partnership with Vestel Smart Box designed to launch the platform into the living room, Exent has finalised deals to bolster the line-up of its GameTanium Android gaming service.

Those adding their support to the platform include PopCap, Glu and RealNetworks, with gamers now able to access a selective library from each party on the all-you-can-play gaming service.

"People play games all the time: at home, on the go, and in between," said Andrew Stein of PopCap Games.

"Our goal is to ensure PopCap games are available on the devices our customers want, and Exent's distribution network helps us further our progress."

Other companies supporting GameTanium include Fire Maple Games, HandyGames, Hexage and Connect2Media.

Games currently available include Herocraft's Farm Frenzy and Majesty: Fantasy Kingdom Sim, FDG's Parachute Panic, FGOL's Hungry Shark, HyperBees' Speedx 3D and Fire Maple's The Secret of Grisly Manor, with the likes of PopCap's Plants vs. Zombies, Peggle and Chuzzle also soon available.

GameTanium is available from the Exent website, priced at $4.99 per month.
