G5 expands to Nook and Nook Color with 3 titles
Casual publisher G5 Entertainment has announced it's starting to support Barnes & Noble's Nook Tablet and Nook Color.

The first three titles to arrive on the devices will be Stand O'Food, Supermarket Mania and Mahjongg Artifacts, with the promise that more titles will be available in the coming months.

"The continued growth of smartphone and tablet sales and increasing app downloads – all point to a bright future for the industry," said Marti Miernik, G5's head of communications.

"With tens of millions of gamers already part of our gaming network, the demand for G5 games is continuing to accelerate."

"We've got an amazing line up of games ready to share with our gamers. We're very pleased to extend our offerings to Nook platforms."

With Barnes & Noble considering spinning out the Nook division as a separate business, it's proven to be a strong niche for a certain type of game - notable classic word and board games - and Angry Birds.
