Senior Mobile UI Designer

Blizzard Entertainment is looking for a talented, self-motivated individual with experience in UI design and implementation for handheld devices to help lead our efforts into the mobile space. The ideal candidate is a designer with a deep understanding of the unique opportunities and limitations of the platform who can help formulate the strategic design goals of our mobile efforts. The senior mobile UI designer must have the capacity both to create and to direct others to create clean designs that balance the Blizzard art style with the specific needs of the mobile audience.

Would this mean Blizzard games are coming to mobile devices? That would be awesome imo. Lost Vikings on my cell phone.

It's said that Blizzard wants to port WoW for 3G mobile phones... do some google search!

I dunno where you heard that but I'm positive that's just a rumor. You just can't get an MMO to work on a phone.

I don't know Wlck phones are getting really advanced these days, they really are becoming mini-computers.... if you took something like the I-phone upgraded it a bit and gave it a little time you might actually be able to

[Wlck742]

You're probably right about the iPhone, they're really getting powerful. But still, most phones have a long way to go before they could match a normal computer. Not to mention the crappy controls...

I like the Lost Vikings for the cell phone idea. Pure awesome! :D

I have an iPhone, it IS the best cell phone EVER, but I can assure you, you can't play anything other than silly games on a cell phone... Race games, perhaps.. Every single game I tried, I deleted immediatelly... Even 3D shooters with good graphics and all... You cant play confortably even on the huge touch screen of the iPhone. Lost Vikings is a better bet than WOW. Rock and Roll Racing would be cool, too!

Wlck, do some google search.. the company that it said to port wow already made a 3D mmo for mobiles, Second Life. Why it's so hard to go to google.com then search world of warcraft on mobile phones.. and voila!?!?! And btw, there is a MMO (Shadow of Legend... again.. make a search, if ur not to lazy!) that works on mobile phones, PDA and computers, and u can interact with any1 playing the game, no matter he is on smartphone or on PC!

Just because you CAN put an MMORPG on a cellphone it does no mean taht you SHOULD! That's what I meant.
If you was not lazy to read my entire post, you'll notice I didn't say you can't, or that MMORPG games doesn't exist on mobile platforms. I say they are not enjoyable... Playability is crippled.... visibility, etc....

Stop calling people lazy...
If you want us to look at your silly google sites then link them ^_^

Also that shadows game is total garbage. It made me want to throw myself off a building.

And lazy are brats that spend all day on the internet searching news about games. Some people gotta work for a living. And those aren't lazy people, I assure you!
