What it does

OGPlanet is an online community for gamers that incorporates elements of social networking along with the ability to play a selection of multiplayer games. Users are able to create their own profile which serves as a dashboard for managing friends and communicating with other community members. Also included is a community section which comes complete with forums for discussion, widgets, and game rankings where players’ best scores in each game are displayed. There are currently five different original multiplayer games to choose from and the site is adding new ones all the time. The site has also invented an online currency which can be purchased or earned through one’s gaming skills. The currency can be exchanged at the community’s shop for a variety of items.

In their own words

“What if there was a world created only for gamers? Not a place to play yesterday’s hits, but an actual world where gamers can play the best of today’s and tomorrow’s greatest online multiplayer titles. A place where gamers can connect with each other, seek out new challengers, and pioneer their very own communities.”

Why it might be a killer

If they can continue to add dynamic and enjoyable games then this site should become an increasingly popular option for gamers looking to play and socialize all in the same place.

Some questions

Will people mind having to download the games or will they opt for a solution which allows them to play games directly in their browser without any required downloading?
