[casual_games] Meez Jumps into Casual Games

[Sean Ryan]

Thanks for the kind words Todd - I guess we won't be sneaking up on
anyone now :-)   

 

Yes, we launched our Games Channel with a mixture of flash-only games
and web versions of downloadable games, with links out to the
publishers' sites to download the full version.  You'll see the number
of games significantly increase as we bring new developers/publishers
into the service, and we'll also be improving the feature set with new
community components.  The key to the Meez service is that not only do
we have a large audience, but that the game play actually drives up to
28 different emotions in your Meez, standing next to the game, so it
brings your identity with you into the game experience, and is a lot of
fun, plus the user can generate our Coinz currency by playing the games.

 

Would love to hear any feedback on the site and we hope to partner with
many of you to feature your games.  Thanks, Sean

Given Meez's founder long time affiliation with the casual gaming space
- no shocker that Meez launched a casual games channel this week.  You
can check it out here:  http://www.meez.com/community.dm?page=games.  I
am interested to see how Meez evolves given the large interest in
virtual world like offerings (club penguin and the recently launched
flowplay up here in Seattle) and whether they can grow into a more
gaming centric service overall.  Given the lack of any large new
entrants on the distribution front since really Big Fish's arrival on
the scene a couple of years ago, I certainly hope Meez can make a good
run for it.  I think we would all like to see another large quality
outlet for our games.

 

It's pretty embryonic at this point in time but I will be curious to see
what happens form here on out.  

 

Good luck to meez.

 

- Todd
