EA is getting behind the newly-revealed Samsung Galaxy S4, which looks set to be one of the most successful Android handsets of the next few years. A-list reports the publisher is prepping 16 games for the handset, and will have compatible versions available on the Google Play Store at launch. Supported titles include Tetris Blitz, Real Racing 3, The Simpsons: Tapped Out, Plants vs. Zombies, Monopoly and Bejeweled Blitz.

EA really wasn’t kidding when it said its acquisition of PopCap would help get the casual developer’s games on more formats faster; Plant vs. Zombies and Bejeweled 2 are now available on Barnes & Nobles’ Nook HD and Nook HD+ devices. But that’s not the end of EA Mobile’s plans, with Real Racing 2, Tetris, Monopoly and The Game of Life all expected on the tablets over the holiday season. Is there anything you can’t play games on at this point? Can I get Black Ops 2 on my microwave?

The browser-based version of Monopoly called City Streets launched last week, and has already had over 1.7 million visitors to it.

Proving to be so popular has a price though, because the development team is being forced to reset Monopoly City Streets in order to do some improvements on the back end.

It will go down this week and hopefully be back up soon. You can find out more over on the official site.

The game uses Google Maps as the basis for the streets.
