It seems there are so many social networking sites coming out nowadays that it’s hard to keep up. Well the latest one is a little different, on the face of it, but dig deeper and it’s all too familiar

The ugame network in principle is a good idea. You link together like-minded individuals, who in this case all happen to enjoy the odd bit of gaming, and you let them create clubs, groups, online leagues and form friendships and things. You also have a place to record the games you play on a regular basis - although only the most popular are available. However, if you find yourself with a game that isn’t in the list, rest assured you can request the game be included on their master list. Once done, your profile is available publicly (along with your system specs if you so wish) by default so people can search for you and the games you play.

So is it worth doing? I don’t think the vast majority of gamers need something like this. There is generally at least one website, including forums, for every game you play online - why would you need another one? The only use I could think of for this website is if you have a game that isn’t played anymore very much - so you can go with the law of averages and hopefully find a few people on the planet that still do. If you are one of those people, or you still reckon there might be a use for the network, sign up here - ugame has just been released as public beta.
