HAMBURG, Germany - Bigpoint.com is the Exclusive Publisher for Universal Pictures’ Online Games for Such hit Movies as “Wanted”, “The Fast and the Furious” and “The Terminator”

Bigpoint (bigpoint.com) has now been selected to publish the online games for three of Universal Pictures’ major blockbusters: the browser games “Wanted”, “The Fast and the Furious” and “The Terminator” will be exclusively available at Bigpoint.com. These games represent the perfect strategic opportunity for Bigpoint to unite the synergies between the movie/entertainment industry and the online games industry: With more than 70 million registered users in Europe and the USA, Bigpoint is the world’s largest portal for browser games.

In June 2008 the American Media Network NBC and the Private Equity Fund GMT bought a majority share in Bigpoint - a developer and publisher of online games. 30% of the company still belongs to the founder and CEO of the company, Heiko Hubertz.

“After the involvement of NBC in the company last year, we’re going to integrate online games for their major blockbusters into our portal,” says Heiko Hubertz, CEO Bigpoint GmbH. “The close cooperation with NBC Universal allows us to tap into this new market potential and bring these Hollywood hits to life for millions of gamers to play online.”

Info about the games “Wanted”, “The Fast and the Furious” and “The Terminator”

The browser game Wanted at bigpoint.com/games/wanted is a strategy-based game inspired by the Hollywood hit with Angela Jolie, Morgan Freeman and James McAvoy. Based on the plot of Wanted, players take on the role as professional hit men in the game. The goal of the game is to use your brains and brawn to complete dangerous missions.

At the end of June, another action-packed browser game for the Universal hit The Fast and the Furious will join the Bigpoint family of games on their official website. Players will be swept away into the fast-paced world of illegal street racing and experience never-ending speed contests that last all night. The mission in this exciting game is to leave your challengers eating the dust from your pimped-up car.

The browser game for the cult film The Terminator is also in development at the moment. The game, based on the blockbuster starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, will be released at the end of 2009.

All these games are being developed by the Swedish-based company Studio Stillfront AG which was founded in 2007 and specializes in the development of online and browser games.

This is the biggest con site I have ever come across, that is exactly why I for one will never spend another penny on it.
I have been conned and cheated, called a liar and a cheat by the support team that doesn’t support anyone other than bigpoint itself.
We, the players have no say at all, we aren’t even allowed to defend ourselves against false accusations.
The coding in the games keeps coming up with errors that cost the players money.
I purchased virtual items that were never delivered and was then called a liar by the support team.
I have posted on the net before about this very bad company, bad coders, bad support team, bad, bad, bad everything.
it never ends.

Bigpoint is a con, the people at the top are ignorant, greedy and very selfish.
I am tired of them conning me time and again and I have only been associated with them for nine months.
The support team never seem interested in anything the paying customers have to say, they just sweep our complaints under the carpet. I have been unable to play the game on 3 occasions because of coding errors and have dropped in rank by what cost me roughly over £100 and hard work to attain. Not once did I receive an apology or any compensation. Therefore, I have wasted money on their game. I call it being robbed.
And the support team constantly accused me of being a cheat which was later proven to be another coding error. I was told by a support member that even if I attempt to go higher with this that any email will end up back with them, that’s how obnoxious they are. “Fine, any communication in english gets back to the english supporters anyway, nevermind where you sent it”
All complaints are swept under the carpet. Their site has a gold premium package that costs £35 for 12 months use, they are giving people 9 months use in the hope that people won’t notice, seeing as it continues to the next year if not cancelled. I unexpectedly cancelled mine which they didn’t notice, and a month later my premium ended after only 9 months of use. When I noticed this and enquired about it to their so-called support team, they blocked my account. And that is after I have spent hundreds of pounds on their site. They didn’t like the fact that I discovered their scam and have covered their tracks by messing with my account.
DarkOrbit is running one big scam and their coders are useless, maybe the people at the top at bigpoint did or didn’t know about this but, I believe they do. I suggested they look into this, although, I know it will all be denied.
Their support team keep telling me to go away and get a lawyer, they know how difficult it will be for me to prove anything.
They have no respect for people whatsoever and whine like babies when we lose our temper with them.
How can a site that is so big and popular be so nasty to people?
I am very disappointed with this site, and it has made me very discouraged about joining any other sites.
Please don’t waste your time and money on this con of a site.
The people at DarkOrbit are running a con and I’m sure Bigpoint know about this seeing as the so-called support team are linked to Bigpoint.
The people at the top ignore all contact I make with them, they are not interested in the slightest. They are ignorant little robbers.
