We wrote about San Francisco startup Ngmoco earlier this year. Set up by former EA exec Neil Young (pictured), it's focusing on iPhone games.

The company has just announced that it's raised Series A financing from VC firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (KPCB)'s iFund, the $100 million warchest set up to fund iPhone app development.

The exact amount taken by Ngmoco hasn't been disclosed. Also participating in the round was Maples Investments, an early stage fund that focuses on gaming and social networking.

Interestingly, Young has signed up former chief creative officer Bing Gordon to join Ngmoco's board. Gordon is also a partner at KPCB, so it's not a hugely surprising hire.

"After a decade of working closely with Neil on category-defining games, I believe ngmoco has the potential to produce killer apps that will help define this new device," says Gordon.

What those apps will be remains to be seen. Ngmoco's website still doesn't give any details of projects in development. But with Young's track record, whatever it comes up with should be worth the wait.
