GAMES CONVENTION ASIA (GCA)- Singapore, 18 September 2008 – Games Factory Online, Europe’s leading game company from the Netherlands announced today a line-up of more than 20 games aimed at providing alternative training solutions to businesses, schools and hospitals.

This is the first time that a European company is launching such a wide slate of titles which targets a B2B market and yet still has very strong content that will be hugely popular amongst a specific audience ranging from patients who are being treated for diabetics, to corporate and business managers, to students seeking to improve language skills, and even hospitality venues or schools looking for solutions to train staff or students.

“There is a growing need for “serious games” which as the term suggests, are computer games designed to help achieve practical outcomes, such as improving conditional behavior through training. The goal of Games Factory Online is to use our expertise as a game developer and publisher to create games that provide solutions to health care and other social challenges,” said Hennie van Velzen, Director and co-founder of Games Factory Online.
