NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- South Korea's largest communications service provider, KT, has partnered with Exent, the world's largest distributor of PC and mobile games on demand, to bring the industry's best gaming experience to KT customers.  Through the partnership, KT is launching a new mobile and PC game offering based on Exent's GameTanium™ On Demand and GameTanium™ Mobile services, which combine the world's largest games catalog, including more than 200 mobile and 2,000 high-quality PC games, with the industry's most gamer-friendly platform.  For the first time, Korea Telecom customers can explore, discover, download and play games from GameTanium's extensive catalog comprised of the best games from around the world, including some of the newest, hottest titles in the Korean language.
