Poker who? Finally something to get excited about! Gamers, (yes, even those in the United States*) can now download real video games for free and play them in a secure, online, and multiplayer environment. And, the kicker? You can win cash while doing it.
An initiative of Groove Games, SkillGround is the world's first platform where people of all skill levels can play real video games head-to-head for cash prizes or just for fun. SkillGround offers a variety of multiplayer modes and games to choose from. Tired of being blasted apart after five seconds in online games? SkillGround allows players to match themselves against others of similar ability. All you need to get started is a PC and a broadband connection.
SkillGround will offer all major genres of videogames including FPS, racing, fighting and sports. Launch titles include WarPath, Close Quarters Conflict, L.A. Street Racing and Kung Fu: Deadly Arts. All games have multiple play modes, including the ability to challenge a single opponent to a head-to-head competition. SkillGround's games should not be confused with simple, online casual games - they are real video games of comparable quality to those available at retail.
