Eidos, one of the world’s leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, announces that Tomb Raider is currently dominating the mobile games market. Tomb Raider: The Osiris Codex is the number one selling game on Vodafone live! in the UK and Tomb Raider topped the Nokia N-Gage charts in its first week of release.

Tomb Raider: The Osiris Codex is the first offering from the recently announced mobile content agreement signed with Vodafone, the world’s largest mobile community. The game, which was released on 2nd October, is the first episode in a three part adventure. The second and third episodes Tomb Raider: Quest for Cinnabar and Tomb Raider: Elixir of Life will be available later this year.

Tomb Raider, a launch title for the N-Gage game deck, was released on 7th October in the UK. The game has featured prominently in Nokia’s worldwide marketing campaign. As well as offering a great one player experience, Tomb Raider features multiplayer and online capabilities. Jonathan Kemp, European managing director of Eidos says: "This is great news and testament to the quality of both games and the continued mass appeal of the Tomb Raider brand."
