Here's a game that brings out the chef in you!

Glu Mobile, makers of games such as "Call of Duty" and "Project Gotham Racing" have announced a new title "Get Cookin" that is claimed to utilize motion-sensitive technology available on new Sony Ericsson mobile phones like the W910i.

Using motion-sensitive technology, the game challenges players use a combination of physical gestures and button presses to create sophisticated cuisines by perfecting a wide range of cooking methods, recipes, ingredients, and seasonings to become 'top chef'.

Alex Galvagni, chief technology officer and senior vice president (Global Product Development) of Glu, said, "Sony Ericsson's motion sensor technology allows us incorporate more authentic, true-to-life challenges in Get Cookin' and introduce an entirely new dimension to mobile games. The use of this technology gives developers a way to deepen game play and gives players a truly fun game that incorporates all new ways to play."

Some of the features of Sony Ericsson W910i that support the game include: a built-in accelerometer for controlling game functions like flipping a steak in a pan and the JSR 256 API motion sensor.

"Get Cookin" is scheduled for launch in July this year; it will be launched by major carriers across the globe.
