SAN FRANCISCO, CA - November 20, 2008 - GotGame, the company that enables gamers to access the in-game content they desire, today launched Rogue, its highly anticipated web browser.

Gamers spend a quarter of their time in game waiting for teammates to log in or games to load. They want something to do during this downtime, but exiting or minimizing the game means missing critical action.

GotGame Rogue eliminates this waiting game, enabling PC gamers to surf the web via a fully functional web browser without ever leaving their favorite games. Players can navigate to Wowhead to obtain information about items in World of Warcraft, or pull up Hulu to watch movie clips between Counter-Strike rounds; these are just two of the countless options available.

A few weeks ago, GotGame announced its first-ever deviantART fanart contest, searching far and wide for the best gaming fanart the internet could produce. 74 very amazing entries later, we chose a grand prize winner, Nicochi’s depiction of everyone’s favorite female bounty hunter, Samus. We received a lot of genuinely awe-inspiring work, however: each of which deserves its time in the spotlight.

All of the contest winners’ entries are available here.

A whole gallery of other great entries are visible here.

Thanks to everyone who entered and made our decision so difficult (and fun)!

Gamers rejoice! Through GotGame LIVE (Version 1.1.0), you can now surf the web without having to Alt-Tab away from your game. Every website you frequent, every speck of information or entertainment or awe the web has to offer is there, in-game, just a few mouse clicks away.

We’re kind of obsessed with media around here. Games, videos, radio, images…anything sensory and stimulating, we’re all over it. (That’s what she said?) It seems like original, fan-created images are a bit underrepresented, though, in this ocean of eye-rubbing gawkery. Enter: The Deviant Art Video Game Fanart Contest.

Artists, from professional to wanna-be, are welcome to partake. We’ve received some great submissions so far, and are thirsty for more. Also, despite having a lovely trove of prizes to hand out, we need to hit a minimum of 75 entries before selecting the winners—we’re not quite there yet. We know you’re ashamed of your sixty-page Gundam flipbook and your Final Fantasy wall mural, but now is their time to shine (and possibly win you cash). Hit the jump for prizes and more details.
