THQ and Verizon Wireless join forces to deliver games to Verizon Wireless’ Get it Now customers.
THQ Wireless, a subsidiary of leading videogame publisher THQ Inc. and Verizon Wireless today announced that they will launch a range of wireless games on Verizon Wireless’ Get It Now service. The first game, available immediately, is THQ’s successful WWE Mobile Madness. Verizon Wireless and THQ have structured a relationship that allows for a large suite of applications to be rolled out over the next several years.
WWE Mobile Madness for wireless phones is currently available on select Get It Now-enabled handsets.

Opponents have to be selected from the same class competing for the maximum number of points for attacking, defending, moving, grappling and overall health.
