The Motorola ATRIX 2 is a mid-range Android-powered smartphone that comes with a 1GHZ dual-core processor. With a qHD 4.3-inch display, it’s perfect for games, photos and videos. It comes bundled with 1GB memory, 4GB of onboard storage and up to 32GB of optional storage via MicroSD (comes standard with 2GB). The 8MP camera is decent if not fantastic, good for 1080p video capture. Battery life should be pretty good as well with its 1735mAh battery. If you find the screen too small for gaming, hook up to your HDTV via HDMI!
The ten EA titles that are available for Motorola ATRIX 2 includes Need for Speed™ Hot Pursuit, Need for Speed™ Shift, Dead Space™, EA SPORTS™ FIFA 10, THE GAME OF LIFE, MONOPOLY, The Sims™ 3, Tetris®, Worms™ and Bejeweled® 2.

It’s definitely not the most gorgeous smartphone around (I personally prefer the RAZR form factor) but the gaming bundle and the crazy affordable price should see it sell quite well.
