Research In Motion (RIM), the makers of Blackberry handsets and devices, recently announced that they have acquired Munich-based Scoreloop. With the acquisition, RIM hopes to bolster their mobile social gaming, as Scoreloop has been a pioneer in the field.

Part of Scoreloop’s stable, the company offers users a customisable and cross-platform social mobile gaming developer tool kit. “As part of RIM, we’ll be in a unique position to integrate deeply into Blackberry platforms to take mobile gaming to the next level together. We’ll continue our cross-platform approach, but we’ll see that our Blackberry solution is unparalleled,” Scoreloop CEO Dr. Marc Gumpinger stated on their website.

Applications and games that use Scoreloop’s SDK includes iShoot, Anagram Online, Grave Defense HD, Sudoku Brainiak, Pick a Stick and Parachute Panic.

“RIM has recently enabled its developers to create social app experiences through the BBM Social Platform and have seen some very innovative applications result from that. RIM is looking forward to working with the team at Scoreloop to provide tools that will further enable the developer community to take gaming to a new level of social integration on the BlackBerry platform,” the company said in a statement.
