Glu developing Blur, Guitar Hero 5 and Tony Hawk: Ride

It looks like Modern Warfare 2 isn’t the only game Glu will be developing for mobile handses as it was recently announced that the studio will also get their hands on Blur, Guitar Hero 5, and Tony Hawk: Ride.

There are absolutely no details regarding gameplay for any of these games but we do know that they will be released this year for Blackberry, Android, Windows Mobile, and Java-based handsets.

Anyone excited? I still don’t understand why they aren’t releasing these games for the iPhone.
