Ready to Play has a lot of potential with old games. If players broadcast that they own something like Titan Quest, and are looking for other fun-seeking players, there will suddenly be a group of interested gamers connected to one another via Ready to Play.

It is like a Twitter feed or a Facebook status for gamers, with matchmaking ability. Excellent!

Lol it's like those internet dating sites, but for gaming!

And about the new store, it looks easier to navigate but I don't like the way it looks as much as the old one. I can't really explain why...

sounds like a pretty interesting concept. definately curious how it works out in practice. a few casual, fun games without the pressure of all-out winning and competition are a nice change from sp.

Identifying proper or reasonably good competition On-Line has always been kinda of a wild guess; now if tracking of potential opponents makes gaming a match of wits rather than a quest for chatter noises -- so much for the fun or tabulated results in a network of 'champions' looped to find a challenging target that shares common interests.

For some, socialization is gameplay with personality.

Ideas that break the anonymity barriers can only bring them together.

I'm still waiting on Babelfish/Google Translate to add a Zyxpsilon to English option.

I think I understand your points, and if so, I agree.

That sounds really cool.  I know I come across as aggressive in discussions but I'm more the laid back kinda guy with no skills

Even though I have a generally decent connection now, it's not really good enough for multiplayer :/

Oh well, soon enough.

What is this "Galactic Empires II" the article mentions?  I've never heard of such a game....
