We reported just the other week how successful RIM's online gaming Port-A-Thon was and now the fine developers of Australia can take advantage of a local event taking place in Sydney.
The 'Got Game Port-A-Thon' will take place on Wednesday, December 5th at Fishburners in Sydney and will give Austrlian developers the opportunity to port their games over to BlackBerry 10 in preparation for the new platform being announced on January 30th.
There will be a team of BlackBerry technical experts on hand to help devs either port their games from another platform, or to turn a new idea into a fully functional application.
There will be incentives for developers who attend - those who complete porting on-site will get rewarded instantly and can earn $100 for every gaming app that is approved for sale in Blackberry App World for up to a maximum of 20 apps. Other bonuses include receiving a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha device, a prototype device running a beta version of BlackBerry 10 to help developers design and develop apps for BlackBerry, for every Top Arcade, Puzzle and Action game ported on-site.
If you have access to Sydney and want to join the BlackBerry 10 gang get registered now. You can do so here.

The BlackBerry 10 Game Port-A-Thon ends: Success is the word of the day!
This weekend RIM's game Port-A-Thon took place which we told you about earlier in the month. To cut to the chase the event was a huge success. Although I don't have confirmed figures it is pretty safe to say that a few thousand apps were ported over to BlackBerry 10 from other operating systems which is a sign that BB10 is getting the dev community super excited. The 36 hour long...
Any devs up for a 36 hour BlackBerry Got Game-Port-a-Thon?
In true RIM developer fashion the above title may sound a little bonkers, but RIM is all about helping prepare developers with getting their games ready for BlackBerry 10. But fear not as you won't have to travel to this Port-A-Thon as it is 100% virtual. All you need to do is register and log in from wherever suits you best and bring your existing or new games to the website where a...
CrackBerry Poll: Do you play games on your BlackBerry?
When it comes being able to play the latest and greatest mobile games, BlackBerry certainly doesn't have a great track record. With BlackBerry now on Android, though, I personally find myself trying out and playing more games than before.
