The Sims will lead the charge, along with a range of titles from Pogo.com including Poppit!, Word Whomp, Phlinx, Tri-Peaks Solitaire and Harvest Mania.

"We are delighted to partner with DTI Software and bring some of our most popular games to in-flight entertainment," said Jon Niermann, president of EA Asia.
