Playnormous Making Headway and Getting Noticed

Local developer of games for health, Playnormous, recently announced a partnership with Humana in which the company has licensed several of their more popular games, Bubble Trouble and Lunch Crunch, to Humana for the recently developed Humana Games for Health (HG4H) game portal. The release about this partnership has been picked up by the mainstream media (you can link to all of the articles here) which is a major coup for the Playnormous team.

Serious games have been around for some time but the explosion in flash based casual gaming has provided a new model for Playnormous to take many of the games that they have developed for academic use and flip them back to the marketplace for our enjoyment. I’ve spent many hours with the team at Playnormous and expect that they will continue their leadership role in this space well into its heyday.

Congratulations to the team!!!
