Gameloft is definitely a French company; it's owned by Ubisoft. I haven't seen the credits for any of their games, but I'll take your word for it that all the names are Chinese. I couldn't tell you whether they simply have a lot of Chinese people working for them or they have an office in China. As long as there's no reason to think that they are employing any kind of unfair labor practices, and I think right now it's safe to say that that's the case, I don't think there's any reason to hold it against them if they DO have an office in China.

Yes I understand there is a world out there. I wish everyone well but not at the cost of charging ridiculous high prices when you're employing foreign developers at slave wages. I'm don't know if gameloft does this but many do.

Yes, don't forget citizens of America - there are other people out there as well! They also use the Pound, The Euro, The Yen, The Koruna.......

On a serious note, GAMELOFT has released some cracking games over the last few months. Long may it continue.

Gameloft games so far have been all developed in china. Personally I would like to see gameloft employ American developers. If you're going to take our us dollars, it would be nice to see them going towards American workers.

Yes well... Pocketgamer also thought Kroll was a wet dream full of gameplay goodness; and that was after playing it.

We shall see, but I do trust Gameloft to deliver something decent.

I would expect this to do well. Should be a great game. I'm just guessing here, but whilst Gameloft's titles so far have mostly been quite good, this one and the other unreleased one look a lot better.

I think the others were all old IP, ports of games made for other phones with minor graphics improvements. These two look built for the iPhone from the ground up...

Thank god, a game like this is exactly what the Iphone needs.
Hopefully consumers reward it with a purchase, and big developers see the market as a viable place.
Otherwise it's just small budget arcade/puzzle games all round
