Silly Mobile Phone Game, #914394 - Xmas Edition

turbocamel.jpg It appears that wacky novelty goes a long way toward selling cellphone games, and if so, Mr. Goodliving's 'Turbo Camels: Xmas Special' mobile phone racing game may be another great example. The key marketing messages used to sell this baby? 'Forget 'street' racing games. This Xmas - pimp up your camel!'. Also: 'Compete against six of the world's leading jockeys, including... Santa?!?!' The amusingly-named Mr. Goodliving is a Finnish developer that's actually owned by online media giant RealNetworks, apparently 'wishes us a hairy Christmas' with this vaguely Jeff Minter-esque concept. Oh, and some of Mr. Goodliving's other games, such as Damage-San and Metal Smash Pinball also look pretty fun - no doubt some ex-demo sceners hanging around in there somewhere.
