The publisher's first two releases, Armageddon Squadron and Iron Sight, are available now in Brazil and Mexico, with iPhone street racer Raging Thunder 2 and the forthcoming Reckless Racing following later this year.

Based on the Brew platform and equipped with Qualcomm's Brew mobile gaming chipset, Zeebo's 3G enabled console is primarily pitched at new markets in South America and Asia.
The device combines mobile style gameplay with online education resources.
"We're thrilled about the opportunities to enter large, otherwise hard to reach markets and bring our games to wholly new groups of customers that Zeebo is able to offer us," said Polarbit founder Mitri Bautista-Wiberg.
"We are also excited about broadening our device support to include home set top systems."
Global gamingZeebo made it debut in Brazil in June 2009, rolling out in Mexico the following November.
It's since launched in Russia, China and India.
