"Lycos' Gamesville is being re-launched with an emphasis on returning to their roots.\nGamesville, acquired by Lycos in 1999, is a site that flourished with online poker and trivia games with cash prizes.  Gamesville is bringing back many of the games that made it popular so many years ago, and has taken on the retro-feel and all.  The changes were made largely in reaction to customer requests.  Both the games and the cash prizes have returned to Gamesville, many with some new twists.  Advertising on the site has changed, though.  Taking cue from network tv online offerings, video ads on Gamesville will play between game rounds.\nThe return of online game popularity is interesting to see, and no doubt becoming a venue for advertisers to continue to explore.  Sites like Kongregate are emerging as gaming communities, bringing game developers and players together inside an interactive forum.  Other companies like Frengo and Hovr are looking to bring game entertainment to mobile phones.  I'm sure the loyal users of Gamesville will appreciate the changes Lycos has made.\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
