Wade, Gamespace.com Founder and CEO. “As an active member of the MMORPG.com community since 2002 it made sense to partner with the guys over there to bring these features to their 2.5 million users and over 600 MMORPGs listed over the next year.”
To kick things off Gamespace.com selected two MMOs and a mobile endless runner to roll out features this month: Seven Seas Saga, a Web MMO of pirates and traders who try to control the seas by wit and strength & Original Blood a micro client MMO that lets players play as vampires, werewolves, and humans. In Original Blood gamers get to build empires for their chosen race that shape the game world. Finally, Drive Me Bananas an amazing endless runner, where monkeys drive a very special taxi through a crazy city.
