strategy and sports games. Another
example for a successful shooter game would be "Crysis 2" from Crytek,
which was developed in Frankfurt and set the
visual benchmark for PC games that still stands today. Unmistakably, the
strengths of the German games industry also lie in the boom markets of browser
and mobile games. The two global leaders in the browser games market,
Bigpoint's "Battlestar Galactica" and Gameforge "Metin", are both located in
Germany and together their portals serve more than 500 million players.
Within the German Pavilion,
13 exhibitors from Germany present their latest developments. We would like to
invite you to visit the German companies to find out more about new
technologies and tailor-made solutions.
On behalf of all
exhibitors, the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi), the Association of the German Trade Fair
Industry (AUMA) and G.A.M.E. - The
German Videogames Industry Association wish you a pleasant and successful
visit to our presentation at booth no. 1614 at GDC Expo, North Hall.
