Inside the 3rd IMGA SEA Judging Session

The judging session of the 3rd edition of the International Mobile Gaming Awards Southeast Asia has just finished and juries are amazed at the amount of great games they got to play.

Held at the Aruga Hotel in Manila, Philippines this 22 and 23 of October,  this year’s judging session reunited seven jury members and our CEO Maarten Noyons. They spent the two days intensively playing the 75  games that were nominated this year.  A session that was both challenging and exciting as there are was a variety of excellent mobile games.

“We played a lot of games over the two days and I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of mobile games available. A few of them in particular really stood out and became instant favorites”. Says Luna Javier, one of the jury members from Altitude Games. 

We want to thank Joony Koo, Gwen Guo, Luna Javier, Paul Gadi, Tony Zander, Christopher Natsuume and Ronnie Tan, and Gaby Dizon,  for doing a great job in choosing the best mobile games during these busy days.
