AUSTIN, Texas, June 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 250 journalists, bloggers, industry analysts and venture capitalists went hands on with the newest video games, gaming rigs, computer consoles and entertainment software at ShowStoppers®, the only independent press event during E3, the world's premier tradeshow for the videogame and entertainment industries.

ShowStoppers @ E3 kicked off with a 30-minute press conference, produced by ShowStoppers, by WeMade Entertainment. With 200 million existing users of "the Legend of Mir 2," the Korean developer and publisher pulled back the curtain on an ambitious range of new mobile games for iOS and Android users, including "Project Dragon," designed for 5,000 concurrent players per server. "Swinging for the fences," as technologytell.com reported, with more than 100 journalists taking notes, WeMade previewed eight massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG) to be released within the next 12 months, with more coming, that integrate gaming and social networking, "so that players will never have to play alone."

The invitation-only ShowStoppers press event featured more than a dozen companies, including Aurasma, AVerMedia, Boldai, Elgato, Escort, G5, HP, Kingston, Maximum Games, Mionix, MoCA, Samsung and WeMade.

"This was an intimate, intense event," said Dave Leon, partner, ShowStoppers. "We kept the focus on a select number of companies and helped journalists to quickly discover more news to cover."
