MySpace Games











MySpace is entering a brave new world by introducing games to be played accross the network. They include traditonal games like solitare and sudoku plus the introduction of some newer looking games like line rider (a game where you draw a slope in a paint-like function that then becomes the slope for your rider). The games are accesible from a link on the front page or by following this link. The games obviously lack a fair amount of sophistication that has come to be expected of online gaming in the last decade. But, perhaps, this is their appeal. I must admit they have a somewhat quirky nature and it seems that the games are intentionally designed to be cut and pasted effortlessly. This could be seen as an attempt to rival gaming such as 'scrabulous' that has become popular on Facebook.
