Gamer Culture

A VIP Social Network for Gamers


We all love to share tidbits of our life story, as if back in kindergarten on “show and tell” day. Online social networks allow us to show and tell our common interests with friends, acquaintances, and strangers. We can partake in various pictures, posts, news, and miscellaneous fun, without actually being face to face.

Popular online network, Facebook has set the bar for social networks as we know them; however, a new network is emerging on to the net, bringing a specific niche of people together in order to share a common interest, games. “UGame” is a social network for all gamers, from the hardcore competitor to the casual newbie.

Founded by Sam Mathews, his goal is to connect all gamers in order to unite and strengthen the gaming community. Once a member of UGame, you can create and personalize a public or private profile page, with the option to host multiple gaming identities such as your WoW or Xbox LIVE information.

UGame also allows users to share and explore an array of gaming achievements, events, news, and other user profiles. As if sitting cross-legged on show and tell day, you can share scores, read interesting blog posts, form teams, as well as meet fellow gamers.

In regards to online privacy issues, Sam Mathews describes UGame as a cross between Facebook and MySpace. Components such as photo galleries and profiles are only accessible to friends and other permitted users.

UGame recently just moved into an open beta and encourages all keen prospects to join the network. Those within the gaming niche that crave a little show and tell action—then the UGame network is a great place to start. When all games, platforms, and people come together at the heart of the gaming industry, UGame’s social network becomes a rather interesting and addicting team to be a part of.
