For some number of years, Yahoo! has a been a really great place to play all the latest PC games. But now there is talk about there Website offering some from the mobile side of things as well. Crazy as it sounds, Yahoo! is now looking to bring their gaming content to your mobile devices.

Yahoo, which is already the wired Web’s top destination for games, is setting its sights on the mobile gaming world. The company said it has launched the Yahoo Games Studio to make games for handsets, and also bought mobile game developer Stadeon to bolster its efforts and create games where mobile users can play online against Web users.

It’s a smart play by Yahoo, which looks to be setting up a battle with Google for the mobile space. Yahoo’s wired games are already immensely popular, and while they may not take advantage of all the interactive and communicative possibilities the mobile platform offers, they reflect the potential of casual games in the mobile space — something that’s easy to pick up, easy to play, and can be enjoyed quickly.
