Online Hollywood Blockbuster Games Available at Bigpoint.com
Bigpoint.com is the Exclusive Publisher for Universal Pictures' Online Games for Such hit Movies as "Wanted", "The Fast and the Furious" and "The Terminator"
HAMBURG, Germany, June 9/PRNewswire/ -- Bigpoint (http://bigpoint.com) has now been selected to
publish the online games for three of Universal Pictures' major blockbusters:
the browser games "Wanted", "The Fast and the Furious" and "The Terminator"
will be exclusively available at Bigpoint.com. These games represent the
perfect strategic opportunity for Bigpoint to unite the synergies between the
movie/entertainment industry and the online games industry: With more than 70
million registered users in Europe and the USA, Bigpoint is the world's
largest portal for browser games.
In June 2008 the American Media Network NBC and the Private
Equity Fund GMT bought a majority share in Bigpoint - a developer and
publisher of online games. 30% of the company still belongs to the founder
and CEO of the company, Heiko Hubertz.
"After the involvement of NBC in the company last year, we're
going to integrate online games for their major blockbusters into our
portal," says Heiko Hubertz, CEO Bigpoint GmbH. "The close cooperation with
NBC Universal allows us to tap into this new market potential and bring these
Hollywood hits to life for millions of gamers to play online."
Info about the games "Wanted", "The Fast and the Furious" and
"The Terminator"
The browser game Wanted at http://bigpoint.com/games/wanted is
a strategy-based game inspired by the Hollywood hit with Angelina Jolie,
Morgan Freeman and James McAvoy. Based on the plot of Wanted, players take on
the role as professional hit men in the game. The goal of the game is to use
your brains and brawn to complete dangerous missions.
At the end of June, another action-packed browser game for the
Universal hit The Fast and the Furious will join the Bigpoint family of games
on their official website. Players will be swept away into the fast-paced
world of illegal street racing and experience never-ending speed contests
that last all night. The mission in this exciting game is to leave your
challengers eating the dust from your pimped-up car.
The browser game for the cult film The Terminator is also in
development at the moment. The game, based on the blockbuster starring Arnold
Schwarzenegger, will be released at the end of 2009.
All these games are being developed by the Swedish-based
company Studio Stillfront AG which was founded in 2007 and specializes in the
development of online and browser games.
