UK trade association ELSPA has published its chart of the most downloaded mobile phone games for December 2005 in the United Kingdom. The chart compiles information supplied by 3, O2, Orange, T-Mobile, and Vodafone, and gives a continuing look at what UK mobile game consumers are actually purchasing this holiday season. Though the chart was dominated by Jamdat's (and now EA's) Tetris mobile title last month, another title has now relegated the classic puzzler to second spot, in the form of Gameloft's King Kong: The Official Game Of The Movie. Elsewhere in the chart, Gameloft also has the number three (Block Breaker Deluxe) and number five (the Sims-esque New York Nights: Success In The City) titles, punctuated by Namco's gloriously perennial Pac-Man. The top ten, for which similar cross-carrier mobile game charts are not yet officially available to the public in North America, is rounded out by EA's The Sims 2, I-Play's 3D Pool, Mforma's version of Activision's Call Of Duty 2, I-Play's version of EA's Tiger Woods 2005, and another variant on a pool title, I-Play's 3D Pool - Urban Hustle.
