I've always liked the idea of mobile phone gaming.  After all, having a great game to pass the time without having to carry another piece of electronics really appeals to me.  But the games have never really delivered, and often leave me flat.  Even Tiger Woods, which I still play on occasion, lost its appeal after I mastered putting.

So, when I received Heroes - The Official Mobile Game from Gameloft, I was obviously skeptical.  I figured it would be another license trashing title made worse by cramming it on a phone.

We all know and many of us love the classic film E.T. Many of us also remember and loathe the original E.T. game of 25 years ago that has been blamed singlehandedly for causing the videogame crash of the 80's. Of course that's quite an overstatement but I am pretty sure the game didn't help things. Well Ojom has brought the lovable alien back to us from the far reaches of the galaxy in E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. All the way from the Star War Universe if you watched closely in those senate scenes. But can they overcome the pain and suffering we felt at the hands of the first game?

EA Skate is a fairly good game on the consoles. But shrink it down and slap it on a mobile, can it still shred like a pro? I took several days of playing to find out if I can cut it as a thrash junkie and string together the moves in the half-pipe for the ultimate line.

Welcome to Mobile Monday - Take the Weekend With You, the new weekly feature highlighting what's happening in the world of mobile gaming. Every Monday we will highlight, preview or review a new mobile game.

This week we take a look at Manager Pro Football 2008 from Ojom available for Series 60 (Symbian OS) phones (Nokia N90, Nokia N6230i, Sony Ericsson K800 and Samsung D600, for a complete listing go here).
