Lycos Launches New Game Site

Lycos intends to increase its presence in the casual game space by launching Lycos Games, a new site dedicated to providing a variety of free, pay-for-play, monthly subscription, and downloadable games. One of their exclusive titles is Albatross18, a free multiplayer golf game. So what will become of Lycos Gamesville, which has been around since 1996? "Dedicated Lycos Gamesville users will continue to find the same popular Gamesville offerings, under the umbrella of Lycos Games. To compliment its popular proprietary Gamesville content, Lycos Games now offers traditional tournament-style games for cash and prizes, and a revolutionary level of community features including avatars, leader boards and private gaming leagues from SkillJam, making the Lycos gaming platform one of the most comprehensive casual gaming environments online today."
