The Düsseldorf games producer Blu-<br />
Byte and the development pioneer Takomat<br />
from Cologne are recipients of this<br />
year‘s German Computer Games Award: Blue<br />
Byte‘s »Die Siedler online« has been awarded<br />
50,000 euros as the »best browser game«,<br />
as has Takomat‘s »Energetika« in the »Good<br />
Games« category.<br />
For the Cologne programmers this is not the<br />
first major award; in the previous year Minister<br />
President Hannelore Kraft had already<br />
announced them as winners of the competition<br />
»365 Places in the State of Ideas«.<br />
The State Government intends to promote<br />
and expand <strong>NRW</strong> consistently as a games<br />
location«, media State Secretary Jan-Marc<br />
Eumann promises: »For us this as yet young<br />
industry is a major building block for the future<br />
of the State of <strong>NRW</strong>.«<br />
The foundation for this already exists. North<br />
Rhine-Westphalia is already one of the top<br />
locations for the games industry in Germany.<br />
According to Marc Ziegler, Director of the <strong>Media</strong><br />
Cluster <strong>NRW</strong>, every fourth German company<br />
in the field of computer games is based<br />
in this federal state. International market<br />
leaders such as Electronic Arts and Ubisoft<br />
have established their European head offices<br />
in Cologne and Düsseldorf.Individual market<br />
niches also provide plenty of scope for growth<br />
fantasies:<br />
the company Turtle Entertainment from Cologne<br />
for example employees 170 people<br />
and is developing at anything but a snail‘s<br />
pace. It is regarded as Europe‘s leading<br />
supplier of electronic sports games; in 37<br />
countries these Rhinelanders now organise<br />
1,800 championships for more than two<br />
million, partly professional online gamers.<br />
The gamescom trade fair, where international<br />
links are forged, is a home game for<br />
the company.<br />
Fair highlight<br />
Before the start of the largest international<br />
fair for interactive games and entertainment<br />
in August <strong>2011</strong>, Gerald Böse, Management<br />
chair of the trade fair organisation Koelnmesse,<br />
draws a positive interim balance:<br />
»We‘re on course for success and are sure<br />
that the gamescom will again mean a major<br />
gain for all involved in <strong>2011</strong>.«<br />
At the fair the whole games sector will be<br />
exhibiting to the international specialist<br />
public and private visitors. In 2010 the<br />
gamescom could boast 505 exhibitors from<br />
33 countries and a total of 254,000 visitors.<br />
Alongside the exhibitors‘ stands the visitors<br />
can expect, under the heading »Celebrate<br />
the Games«, a highly varied framework<br />
programme in the area around the fair site.<br />
As part of the fair the »gamescom award«<br />
will also be presented to the best games<br />
and products at the fair.<br />
The purpose of the award is to promote new<br />
products in the field of computer and video<br />
games.<br />
