Cousins left EAE back in March after overlooking launches for Battlefield Play4Free and Battlefield Heroes, as well as help oversee the release of Lord of Ultima from EA Phenomic.

ngmoco Stockholm will mainly focus on building content for social games platform Mobage.

We're thrilled to have him leading ngmoco Sweden," said ngmoco boss Neil Young.

On his appointment, Cousins added: "The games industry is at an inflection point. These platforms are bringing hundreds of millions of new gamers into the fold, and at the same time existing core gamers are discovering the innovation, immersion and connectivity they bring.
