King.com has announced the release of its first-ever games for the iPhone and Facebook. Kalorie King and Mars Lives are the first in a series of games for Facebook users and Amazon Survival is its first iPhone game.

According to mobile analytics company Mobclix, of the 50,000 programs available through Apple’s App Store, games are the largest category, at about 20 percent of all offerings. King.com already provides more than 150 different skill and social games to over 17.5 million unique users per month. By making its games available through these new distribution channels, they will significantly extend their reach and market lead, as well as aim to bring high quality games to these new platforms.
