Donald Mustard, creative director of Chair Entertainment (Shadow Complex), sees a bright future for gaming on a mobile phone. One so bright that in 2-5 years weāll be playing Gears of Wars on something that fits in our pockets.
Chair, who are currently working on Infinity Blade for the iPhone, say that at first doing a game for a smartphone was just a diversion. āI didnāt take it that seriously until we started making this game,ā he tells Eurogamer.

Gears on an iPhone? Within two years? Well, maybe two years, maybe five, according to Chairās technical director Geremy Mustard. āIf not two years, then certainly five years. Well, it could be as soon as two years but within five years that will certainly be the case. It will at least be powerful enough to do that.ā
Sounds fantastical, but then you remember how amazing Epic Citadel looks on an iPhone 4, and suddenly that prospect becomes very, very real. Hereās hoping in 2-5 yearsā time somebody has worked out a way for phone games to not be a horror to control!
