MySpace to bring games to teen masses

FACEBOOK RIVAL MySpace.com is set to introduce a new feature to the social networking site - gaming.

The site, owned by Murdoch's News Corp, has announced a new partnership with little-known games company Oberon Games in which the two will bring multiplayer games to MySpace's already plentiful features. MySpace Games will let users play each other over the site and stick little games on their profiles.

By the looks of things on the Oberon site they'll be little, simple games such as Backgammon, Chess, or the ever popular "Dino and Aliens." Err.

According to News.com, a toolkit will also be released for budding developers who want to get their own games up on the network.

Information's sparce at the moment, with the Myspace games page telling us to stay tuned for updates. And "check out" some video game videos. µ
