Social Networking for Games has Arrived

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

The success of social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook has spurred a landslide of niche social network development throughout the online world. Many categories of interests, such as dogs and shoes and music, have seen their own online networking platform come to life through the power of Web 2.0 technologies. Now it’s time for video games .

Today, GarageGames has released, to the world, the new video game social networking site, Great Games Experiment (http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com). This site boasts a current user base approaching tens of thousands and tons of games.
The idea of a social networking site for video games is by no means revolutionary; however, the adjoining of all video games (both indie and mainstream) in one central location, with a democracy of users has never before been implemented. This is more than database of video games. On GreatGamesExperiment.com, a user can rate, review, play, download, search for, browse for, [keep inserting verbs here] any type of video game imaginable. Users can also interact with each other on a multitude of levels. Create your own internal network within the walls of GreatGamesExperiment.com by making friends with, tagging, kudo-ing, commenting on other users throughout the site. Users can also band together to form groups.

The main objectives of the site are as follows:

  • Provide to game fans and developers an opportunity to share and promote their own games!
  • Help gamers and developers network with each other!
  • Help people discover new games! Many of which they may have never heard!
  • Make it easy to download and play games in one place.
