game&game Brings Gamers First
Opportunity to Play New Creative Korean Titles
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA – 12/12/2005 –
game&game (www.gameNgame.com),
an online games portal designed by the Korea IT Industry Promotion Agency (KIPA),
today announced the official kick-off of its new Web site. Now a fully
operational gaming portal, game&game is packed not only with brand new games,
but the site also offers titles not previously released for U.S. gamers by some
of Korea’s hottest game developers. All of the games are available for free.
After a beta period, the site is now fully operational and has added features
such as bulletin boards, rankings, player polls, member sign-ins, and a business
center.
The new lineup of game&game features
a wide variety of games, ranging from the highly successful SilkRoad Online, a
full 3D fantasy action Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG),
to the flight simulation MMORPG Space Cowboy, to first-person shooters, sports
games and more. Brand new to the site are Neo Baseball, Blitz 1941 and War Rock,
all of which are available today. All games feature summaries, trailers and
links to the developers’ sites. Gamers now have the opportunity to try out a
wide variety of games and interact with players around the globe — all through
this new free service.
Supported by the South Korean government, the
not-for-profit game&game represents a variety of Korean developers, and provides
an easy-to-use portal for gamers to interact and experience new titles. Game
selections will rotate on a frequent basis, bringing a continuing list of games
and developers to the spotlight. All of the offerings available on the game&game
site are serviced exclusively by gameNgame.com in North America as fully
functioning beta products, giving players a chance to try new games from an
assortment of Korean gaming companies before these titles become fully available
in America.
"Some game players recently
discovered our site as it was beta and are talking about the excitement of the
games. We are looking forward to the continued feedback we receive about our
games from North American game players," said Steven Kwak, KIPA Digital Contents
consultant. "We have a tremendous breadth of games, and our commitment to the
online gaming community has inspired us to provide a site with some of the best
Korean games where gamers of all levels and interests can interact, try new
games, and meet new people."
