The First International Game Forum was launched in Beijing on October 10.

Sponsored by Chukong Technologies and Tencent Games, the forum attracted more than 800 guests from domestic and foreign mobile game research and development companies, investment institutions and the media.

Mobile games have experienced explosive growth in the past two years, apparently outpacing Web games, said Gao Li, Vice General Manager of Tencent's marketing department.

In his opening remarks, Li Jianwei, head of a relevant department under the Ministry of Culture, said mobile gaming is the most vibrant part of Internet culture.
