ngmoco, leading developer of iPhone games and where I’ve been for the last couple of days, has announced that they are adding ex-MySpace executive Jason Oberfest to the team. Oberfest brings knowledge of social applications to their network of games.

“It’s clear that, like the iPhone, social gaming is an essential facet of a next generation games company and Jason will bring a valuable perspective and incredible horsepower to an important segment of our business as we look to expand strategically to the social web,” Neil Young, CEO, ngmoco, explained.

ngmoco has a large library of games for the iPhone and iPod tough as well as their social network launched earlier this summer, Plus+. Oberfest will probably be responsible for building out Plus+ ideas to be even more socially interactive.

“I have long had a passion for games and could not be more thrilled to join such a talented and accomplished team as ngmoco,” Oberfest said. “We have only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the marriage of social applications and games. I am very excited to help build ngmoco’s vision as a next generation games company.”
