Mobile gamers quizzed again

The quest to capture that ultra-casual mobile gaming demographic continues apace. I received press releases for two new quiz titles yesterday: Guiness World Records from Kayak and Who Wants To Be a Millionaire: Celebrity Edition by Glu. The former is of course packed with the sort of questions children used to ask Norris McWhirter on Record Breakers. It has several game modes, hidden bonuses and a series of interesting multiplayer modes where up to eight people can take part using a single phone. This is out now in the UK apparently, but I'm not sure where. Luckily Kayak's PR chap is Brian Baglow, a regular Gamesblog reader. He may well provide the answers in a comment...

Meanwhile, the self-explanatory Who Wants To Be a Millionaire: Celebrity Edition follows the original and breathtakingly successful mobile translation of the hit TV show. Here you'll need to answer questions on such vital matters as the identity of Angelina Jolie's second husband and who's playing Tubbs in the new Miami Vice movie. I'll give you a hint, the answer to one of them is Jamie Foxx.
