announced they were named “Best-Ranked Mobile Game Publisher” in an
independent study conducted by Pocket Gamer.
Considered to be the leading authority in mobile gaming, Pocket Gamer
recently completed a comparison study reviewing game scores received by all
game publishers. The analysis was based on 313 international game reviews
made public between the months of January and March 2008. Game critique
scores were compiled from such influential websites as Pocket Gamer, IGN
Wireless, Mobile Game FAQs, AirGamer, and Midlet Review.
“Receiving this honor from Pocket Gamer is a true privilege,” said
Michel Guillemot, President and CEO, Gameloft. “We will strive to live up
to this distinction by continuing to deliver the best titles worldwide.”
Gameloft surpassed the competition with an average score of 7.94 out of 10,
