Games that use camera phone pictures

Not only are digital cameras appearing in phones, they're now appearing in mobile games as well.

Justin Hall went to the Tokyo Game Show, a giganza game spectacle in Japan this last weekend and reports back in TheFeature.com.

He discovered two companies which have integrated mobile phone cameras into mobile phone gameplay: SquareEnix and Tecmo. Games that use camera phone pictures! They didn't end up with the most compelling picture-based gameplay I ever seen, but it's a good step forward.
