Article talks about social mobile games and profiles two companies - Digital Chocolate and Tomo Software.
Los Angeles-based Tomo Software Inc is expected to launch a mobile game that riffs off reality TV, mimics the addictive elements of The Sims and Tamagotchi video gaming worlds and employs the social networking grease of the Friendster online community.
A player establishes a personal character - an image of their real selves or an alter ego - within the persistent cyber world of Sora City.
The character forms relationships and can compete in game-within-a-game events in which other characters can help decide the winner. Players communicate through online journals, or blog, or by sending each other messages.
