NimbleBit’s Pocket Planes game that was released onto DeNA’s Mobage platform was apparently at one point going to be a game about trains called Pocket Trains.

Guillermo del Toro has has a new movie coming out in July called Pacific Rim and Reliance Games have been commissioned to created a movie spin-off game that will be coming to mobile phones and tablets this Summer as well. It is a safe bet to say this will be coming to Android as well as iOS even though it is labeled right now as ‘mobile devices’.
