Danish games publisher Kiloo, a publisher of best-selling games based on well-known global brands like Happy Tree Friends and LEGO, has just inked an agreement with Terraplay to connect its games to the Terraplay Global Gaming Network. The deal will allow Kiloo to build more community features into its titles and will open up new viral marketing and distribution opportunities for the publisher as well.

With the power of the Terraplay Global Gaming Network behind its already-popular titles, Kiloo has just increased its presence in the mobile gaming market. Through the newly-inked agreement, Kiloo can now incorporate community, multiplayer, and in-game billing capabilities into each of the company's titles. What this means for gamers is that they will now be able to participate in global or local competitions, appear on global leader boards, play online against players from all over the globe, send game recommendations to friends by typing in their phone number into a game, and stay in touch with their friends through buddy lists.

"Kiloo's goal is to push mobile gaming into the mass market," says Jacob Møller, the founder and chief executive of Kiloo. "Terraplay's Global Gaming Network allows a wide range of new services to be introduced to our games. We're delighted to be working with Terraplay to create some new and exciting opportunities for our games in the global mobile market."

Familiar with the Global Gaming Network Service? No? Swedish company Terraplay, the company responsible for the service that enables games publishers, network operators, and service providers to run community services for their games, just won a hefty award for their good work.

Terraplay won "Best Games Service Provider" at the Mobile Entertainment Awards at London recently. It was held at the posh Kensington Royal Garden Hotel. Over 350 industry executives from the mobile content scene attended the event.

The Awards recognized companies that are involved in the creation and delivery of entertainment content, including games publishers, developers, billing providers, mobile operators... you get the idea.

Out of hundreds of nominees, games service provider Terraplay has recently been nominated as a finalist for the Best Mobile Games Service Provider category at the upcoming Mobile Entertainment Awards which is slated for September 19 of this year.
