EA Mobile releases first Android games

Some confusion over pricing though

EA Mobile releases first Android games

Having said it would wait to release Android games until it could charge for them, EA Mobile has done just that.

The publisher has released two games for Google's new mobile platform in the US: Tetris and Monopoly Here & Now.

They're not on sale in the Android Market store, though. Instead, EA is telling gamers to visit its eamobile.com website on their G1 handsets.

However, Tetris is also being sold on apps site Handango, which is where the price confusion comes in.

On its own site, EA says the games cost $7.99 each, yet on Handango, Tetris is selling for a whopping $14.99. Hopefully that price won't stay that high for long - it's absurd.
