GamerLympics
In the spirit of international competition, The Escapist is bringing the “Games” back to gamers with GamerLympics, a free gamer-centric community event pitting gamers’ creativity, knowledge and competitiveness in over 20 events spanning a two week period. In addition, we’ve partnered up with industry elites to enhance the competitive nature, excitement and flare of this already extravagant formation of events. Kongregate.com will be hosting 11 independent flash based games and Nokia has created a “King of the Hill” event featuring their new N-Gage platform release, Reset Generation for all GamerLympic participants.
