Sydney, Australia, 25 January 2012 – Get into the Aussie spirit this week and celebrate all the latest and greatest EA Mobile games, home grown in our own backyard. 

Local Australian developer, Firemint, has established itself in mobile gaming history with award-winning titles like Real Racing 2 and Flight Control entering the App Hall of Fame. 

Melbourne talent, IronMonkey recently launched the highly anticipated Sims FreePlay, the first free game in the franchise earning over 300,000 downloads in Australia in the first two weeks alone. Last month, they took home Apple’s award for iPad Game of the Year for 2011 in the U.S and Canada for Dead Space, showing the Americans how it’s done down under.
