Press for Big Fish

PC games downloaded via the Web are almost equal to the number of games sold at retail stores in the U.S., according to market researcher NPD Group.

Internet-arranged meet-ups aren't that new these days, but the self-proclaimed "Big Fish Babes" — who went from strangers playing games to close friends and even game consultants — were probably the least likely candidates for a real-world rendezvous.

Online casual game portal Big Fish Games says its users have been responsible for more than a billion game downloads over the last eight years.

Big Fish Games is inviting the public to test its knowledge of one of America’s most popular and culturally rich cities with the introduction of its latest game title, Big City Adventure: San Francisco, which offers gamers an experience that is as adaptable as it is social.
