ibaseball_iphone_game Wii like game iBaseball got the iPhone sport gaming on fire

With over 2 million downloads for their hugely popular games iGolf and iBowl, today, SGN has launched iBaseball, the third game in a series of Wii-like games for the iPhone. Like previous SGN games released for iPhone, iBaseball leverages the innovative accelerometer mobile technology platform for the iPhone to let baseball fans, sports and gaming enthusiasts practice their baseball pitches and hitting on-the-go.

iBaseball allows players to play an inning of baseball as the pitcher and a hitter. As a pitcher, players have the opportunity to pitch to three batters with a fastball or curveball. As a batter, players try for as many hits as possible in a single inning.

SGN is the first company to have two games in the Top Ten most popular downloaded applications at the same time and iBowl is currently features in Apple’s ‘What’s Hot’ App Store. Both games reached the number one spot within a few days of their release and iBowl remained the number one download for over a week.

“We are thrilled with the success of iGolf and iBowl and anticipate a similar reception for iBaseball among gamers and enthusiasts,” said Shervin Pishevar, CEO of SGN. “It is our mission to continue to deliver these kinds of games for the iPhone and cross platform. We have an exciting pipeline of games for iPhone expected for release between now and the end of 2008 as well as regular updates to improve game play for our loyal fans.”

Pishevar continues, “Our vision for social gaming is to engage people across multiple platforms and social networks. We are striving to leverage the power of social networks on mobile devices as the vehicle for communication from any location. We see a tremendous opportunity with the viral nature of the iPhone games for connecting people from around the globe. Evidence of this vision is the Global Leader Board which allows players from across the world to compete against one another, sending game play onto international playing fields.”

SGN is taking its extensive experience in the development of original and engaging social game play and applying cutting-edge technology to create a compulsive game play experience. The development of iPhone games marks SGN’s expansion in mobile and social gaming technology, heralding its commitment to expanding the “social graph” established on social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, Bebo and Hi5 across multiple platforms and form factors.

    I also love these examples. We work with many of these companies who use our software (Radian6) to help with online listening and to help manage & coordinate their engagement. One of the things I like about what Chris Brogan points out in his post is the idea of not just listening for your brand (i.e. the hotels example) but beyond it to include things your brand can help with (like people talking about going to the red sox game).
