With the emergence of cloud computing,the future Internet infrastructure is evolving to enable everything-as-a service.
As a cloud-based mobile gaming system, MCG isa promising paradigm for gaming delivery. In this work, wehave studied two types of cloud-based mobile games, i.e.,mobile cloud video games and mobile browser games. Wehave explicitly defined the term of mobile cloud computing.We have discussed the features of MCG and proposeda framework for next generation MCG systems, whichshould support the dynamic cloud integration, pervasivegaming, context-aware gaming, multi-player online gamingand seamless cross-platform gaming. Open research issuesfor the proposed MCG framework have been reviewed anddiscussed
