BBG Universe

Millions of people play persistent browser based games (PBBG). If you are reading this article right now you are probably one of them. Why do you like to play this games? What do they have special?

I will try to answer this question from my perspective. I have been playing browser games for over 8 years and have seen hundreds. Some had wonderful graphics, but others were poor in this field. It is curios that not always the game with the best graphics had the most players.

There were other games with very interesting features but again there were simpler games that had more players. Why?

It is hard to take a general conclusion, but I believe the most interesting part about browser games is the community. This spider web called internet logs you trough PBBGs with thousands, hundreds of thousands of people across the entire world. Different cultures, religions, beliefs come and meet in wonderful places where everyone has the same status. There is no king nor slave. There are only players which can be your friends or enemies, but even if they are your enemies they are only in the game not in real life.

We believe in the power of community and of social networks. We believe that games are strongly related to this and that is why we have designed a new social network for game creators, players and alliances.

SocialBrowserGames / BBGSocial ( www.socialbrowsergames.com ) is a network were we want the players to create their profile across all the games they play, keep a blog, connect to groups of their favorite games and of their alliances/clans within this games.

SocialBrowserGames.com has the most important features web2.0 provides.
