 “We are very happy to present the 2008 overall results, we see glamorous results this year, including several smaller and mid-size developers basically fade-away, and the market segmenting more towards larger publishers”, says Matej Gause, Content Director of MobileGamesDb.com portal, “The rules that we apply is, that each developer has to have at least 20 reviewed games throughout the entire each year.”

 “I would like to congratulate the winners of this year – Fishlabs, to their victory. This shows that despite the market consolidating, also independent, smaller, and flexible mobile game companies can show us, and make it to the top!“, said Jan Rezab, Founder of the MobileGamesDb.com portal.

MobileGamesDb.com has risen last year from several thousand visitors to 30.000 monthly visits (December 2008), with new ways of showing information about reviewed mobile games, and new features coming weekly to the portal:
