Available at the Apple iTunes store for .99 cents per game, iPark It!, World Wars, and 50 States are the first of several games to be released on as part of AddictingGames iNetwork, a cross-promotion publishing network which game developers can tap into AddictingGames.com's promotional reach, upsell capabilities and social gaming features.

"These apps pull from some of our hottest titles developed by our talented developers who continuously pump out entertaining content for teens and adults," said Dave Williams, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Games Group. "As the online gaming market continues to mature, people want to play games wherever they are, and we will be there with the AddictingGames iNetwork."

AddictingGames on the iPhone will be supported on AddictingGames.com and Shockwave.com through weekly "iPhone Game of the Week" spotlights, promotions across select MTV Networks' sites, and within the AddictingGames titles on the iPhone. Certain game apps will also be prominently featured on AddictingGames.com with "Download now on iPhone" promotions running across associated game pages.
