Much more but really not worth the time to write about, overall the games they have can be fun for a while if you are able to get them to run and work properly but the fun doesn’t last long and in many of the games you will not get far being overpowered by paid items and bonuses.

Its not too much to ask to help support a game that you want to excel and play long term but with their lack of security, customer service, and don’t care attitude I would not give them money because its not worth the risk or the enjoyment

Honestly as a person with ijji from the very first launch day… I would not recommend the service, its really difficult to deal with them because many of their games they do not actually develop rather they just host them and the original developers still create fixes for the games and such so delays of new updates and such are very prevalent and bugs and glitches in the games can go without being dealt with for quite a while.

Also as I have seen with “Gunbound Revolution”, one of the launch games that they took on the Game Masters lack a significant knowledge of how the games work, the players or history of the game, how people manipulate and or cheat in the games. In fact some old players know better how the game operates more so than the people that run it. Hacking in games and abuse is pretty common and either ijji game masters have no clue as to the obvious of what is going on, or they simply don’t care.

The customer service is not helpful whatsoever either in fact I have encountered CSR’s directly lying to me in the past and trying to ignore my issues with a general response that was not anywhere near the subject of my problem.

Account security is lacking and recovery is near impossible if you are hacked. Many people have basically in the past been told to call the police and make a report because their website is invincible to hackers and thus not their problem.

The forum is really the place where most communication can go on between the players and administration. Unfortunately since all moderators are paid by ijji there is no night shift or weekend mods so the forums often go un-moderated and often get flooded with spam, childish behavior and not to mention various postings of pornography that can be left up for significant periods of time.

alot has changed sense then even the target audience has changed. Drift City is for teenagers mainly now cos the cars and features they implement are more like 2fast2furious like.

The controls r easy to use lol I joined tht game bck in sep 2007 and i picked up the game easily in a week. So really any person could pick up this game and play for hours.

I hv played this so much tht i hv played it for about 10 hours each day or more. If you guys quit eariler in the developement stages u really need to check it out now.

In addition to the U.S Army All-American Bowl, Sportslink Inc., the sports marketing company managing the U.S Army All-American Bowl also conducts high school sports like the U.S Army All-American base ball games which feature the top high school prospects of the country.

It certainly looks fun, but I can imagine getting bored after a few hours, especially with buildings you can drive through, and really weird physics emulation!

Watching the video by Something Awful makes me think “…maybe if I get reeaal bored one day…”

Flash has become a new standard for enjoying games online. At ‘Armor Games’ we’ve been funding Indie development for the last 2 and 1/2 years and it’s exciting to see that people are now making a living off the money we pay for their games.

Well the last info i have about Ijji was that they have around 4 million accounts created and around 200.000 active users per month…. but those figures are a bit old.
I’m from France and in Europe those kind of games are just arriving. First portal to launch last may was http://www.goa.com with Gunbound (same version as Ijji); Pangya (called Albatross18 in th USA) and Kart N Crazy who should be on open béta in december or next january. This last game is only available in Korea and Europe for the time being.

As a former member of the ijji gaming community, I was able to feed my addiction to puzzle games, spending countless hours playing the puzzles solo as well as in the multiplayer modes. This was, however, until ijji “Upgraded” their services. This so called Upgrade removed several of the puzzle games that I (and so many others) had grown to love. Instead ijji introduced several new Action/RPG games.

The move was astounding to many of us. While petitions were sent to get a few of the puzzle games reinstated, our words were lost. Ijji decided that Action/RPG was the now and they couldn’t be bothered to support the puzzle gaming community any longer.

Hundreds of people canceled their memberships due to this lack loyalty, I, being one of them. I love gaming sites just as much as the next person, but how can I be expected to support a site that disregards such a large portion of their gaming base?

gr8 article, not sure though that a 700meg download can still be classified as casual gaming.

duncan, take a look at doof.com, they make claims about being the web 20 casual gaming site

The 700MB download is not as bad as it looks. South Korea, is, after all, one of the countries with the fastest broadband speeds in the world. Even at a (relatively snail paced) rate of 3.6 megabits/s, that download won’t take 30 minutes to complete.

Beware US search companies – NHN usually introduces casual gaming service to “open the door” for foreign markets, so they can introduce their superb search service. (Already #5 in the world now, after Google, Yahoo, MSN, Baidu) That’s the strategy they are using in China and Japan as well..

Casual gaming indeed…

full -fledged pc games just totally blows this free online crap out of the water – in terms of graphics, sound, interactivity, etc etc

One of their more popular games (at least in my experience) is Gunbound, which is a lot like Worms, but with that same Second Life element thrown in. Lots of fun, and since its a turn based thing, the lag isn’t (usually) a huge deal. Check it out if you want to play some more of their games.

I’d like to see a company profile though…Agree with Andrew: When did this become gamespot?
