Bigpoint Adds Top Online Games to the Chrome Web Store
Company's Widely Popular MMOG's, DarkOrbit and Seafight, and Hit Casual Titles, Farmerama and Zoomumba, to Gain Broader Distribution Through new Online Marketplace
SAN FRANCISCO, December 7, 2010/PRNewswire/ -- Bigpoint (http://www.bigpoint.com) - the global market leader in
browser-based massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) - today announced
that the company's most popular free-to-play games are available in the
Chrome Web Store. Bigpoint has added DarkOrbit (http://www.darkorbit.com/),
Seafight (http://www.seafight.com/), Farmerama (http://www.farmerama.com/),
and Zoomumba (http://www.zoomumba.com/) to the online marketplace, all
Flash-based titles that together have garnered over 100+ million registered
users worldwide.
In 2011, Bigpoint will add Unity-based titles to the Chrome
Web Store, including Ruined Online (http://www.ruined.com/), a fast-paced,
arena-style combat game set in a post-apocalyptic San Francisco. Unveiled
earlier this year at GDC Online, the title includes high-end graphical and
gameplay features common to traditional console games. Under development at
Bigpoint's first North American office in San Francisco, Ruined Online is
planned for release early next year.
