Online Marketing and Public Relations and IBM have organized a pavilion at the upcoming Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, featuring companies including CDC Games, Icarus Studios/Fallen Earth, Terremark Worldwide, PlayXpert, GameTank, and XXtreme Support Services.

CDC Games claims 120 million registered users globally, and this showing at the IBM pavilion will mark the company's U.S. debut, ahead of its North American launch of the Lunia Online (shown). The company also says it wants to create more IP and find more developer partners in the North American market.

3D virtual worlds creator Icarus Studios will demo its Fallen Earth MMO, developed on its proprietary platform, showing three new environments that are part of the gameplay. IT infrastructure company Terremark provides managed hosting, co-location and network solutions for online games, social networking and virtual worlds, and will also be attending its first GDC. PlayXpert is a community management tool developer aimed at the MMO and virtual worlds space, developing a community platform on an extensible architecture that it says can work across all games.

IBM interactive strategy east cost executive Daniel Witteveen says, "We’re pleased to support the GDC Pavilion in Booth 6241 as a joint effort with OMPR which has done the launch PR for nearly 300 titles from 100 game developers. The Pavilion concept is a great way for visitors to experience new products, and talk one-on-one with CEOs and developers while enjoying the in-booth IBM Lounge."
