German Developer Award 2007 goes to FISHLABS

HAMBURG, Germany, 14 December 2007 FISHLABS, one of the leading developers of premium 3D mobile phone games, has won the German Developer Award 2007 in the category 'Best Mobile Game'. As the only 3D-mobile game, the action role-playing game Blades & Magic won over the jury, consisting of 30 industry-experts, and beat out the competition. The German Developer Award is given away annually at the Lichtburg in Essen, Germany to national developers of outstanding PC, console, and mobile phone games.

'We are extremely pleased that our action RPG Blades & Magic was chosen as the best mobile game of 2007. For the title to be praised not only by the gaming community and the trade press, but also by the expert jury of the German Developer Award is another terrific accolade for our entire team and is the crowning conclusion to a very successful 2007. Moreover, it is also an important signal to the entire mobile games industry that complex 3D games are also able to thrill so-called core gamers on mobile phones,' comments Michael Schade, CEO and co-founder of FISHLABS.

Blades & Magic is a graphically opulent, 3D action-RPG with up to 10 hours of playing time, which sets new standards for mobile phone games. In the role of Bryn, a young warrior of the Grimblade clan, the player must survive numerous quests and learn powerful spells and abilities in order to be able to use them wisely in battle in the lifelike world of Blades & Magic. The fantastic story of Good and Evil gives players the choice of making their way as a fearless fighter or a powerful mage in order to free the land of Auronia from the demon lord Balrazhul.

'The award impressively underscores Hamburg's leading role in the field of mobile games. With the Hamburg prototype sponsorship and our numerous services, we will be able to support innovative game developers even more strongly in the future,' adds Achim Quinke, Project Manager of Gamecity Hamburg.
