This is the blog of Ingo Hinterding, co-founder of Social Gaming Company Crowdpark. I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.

Still one day to go, so if these images get you all excited, head over to the Pergamon Palais and enjoy the feeling of for once not being the biggest nerd in the room!

According to a former employee of the company, Silicon Knights fell apart due to the authoritative control of Denis Dyack, studio head. Cutting ties with Nintendo meant Dyack would have total control of the studio, without the support he would receive from the Japanese publisher. "This is the reason for the extremely high quality games that SK built a reputation on," a source said. "Nintendo was going to put their name on the game, so it had to be 'Nintendo quality.'"

Crowdpark releases two new mobile games

Crowdpark, the company I proudly work at, today announced two new games for iOS devices:

AnteUp is the best social betting app out there, handsdown. Bet your friends anything and kick ass - now from whereever you are. It's super easy to use, has a great design and connects perfectly with facebook and your personal social graph (if you choose to).

Get it in the store (IT'S FREE): http://itunes.apple.com/de/app/anteup-bet-friends/id544687883?mt=8

Pet Vegas is the "slot machine you are guaranteed to love". The cutest pets with gorgeous graphics in an exciting and very entertaining slot machine casino experience! That's the marketing speech, but what I can say is that we loved to build that game and are really proud that it finally hit the store.
