In-game ads company Double Fusion have partnered with karnig4media, to handle the implementation of game ads in the Nordic region.

“Games” make a political statement!
The first one I probably would buy, the later… hhmmm nah, don’t think so. But it sure is funny!
MMO’s are taking over?
It seems like a new MMO is announced almost every day. After the success of World of Warcraft it feels like every game company must have their own MMO.
