I had not problem signing up and loging in. The games are fun, the video clips from from Google but the internal video player is cool. I think with the right word of mouth they will do well. A name is a name it's all about the user experience. I've played against a bunch of people on the site already and it's totally fun. You earn credits via battle but you don't have to pay for playing any of the games. You only pay if you don't have credits to battle against another player. But I love the customization. If they start doing adveragames they could sell a lot of advertising. Gaming will over take music sales in the next few months.
