The Game Silo

Malta isn’t known for its gaming community, apart from its gambling associations with the likes of ‘Casumo’ and ‘Super Casino’. This is why ‘The Game Silo‘ has been created to fill the gaming void on the small Mediterranean island.

Founded by industry veteran Andy Spanswick, the company hosts an online games hub promoting independent games of all genres and plan to soon start an annual games event and tournament which will provide entertainment for local games freaks and bring in gaming tourists to the island. The games website can be found HERE.
