WHO WE ARE
When people want to play games for real money online, things get a little tricky! What actually constitutes real money?
Online games have always relied on currency, and indeed the world’s favourite virtual currency was spawned from the infamous MtGox (website down) website that initially grew up around the trading of Magic: The Gathering cards.
This connection to nerd-dom is inescapable and real. New currencies appear from time to time such as the Linden Dollars in Second Life, and in other areas of gaming such things as free slots spins (like this free spins Leo Vegas offer) and Fifa16 coins make the definition of currency a little tricky!
If there’s one thing gamers are capable of, it’s transforming digital currencies and achievements into real world dollars. I’m sure there will be more evolution of this trend in years to come. Watch this space!

Ubisoft, one of the leading videogame publishers, today announced Secret of the Silver Earring™, a new interactive murder mystery inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
London 1895: A wealthy construction tycoon lies dead in his mansion. Join Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson as they interview suspects, investigate the crime scene and uncover family secrets that might point to the murderer. Play one of the most intriguing and captivating plots ever created for the Sherlock Holmes character. Clues will take players to Brazil, India, and more than 40 19th-century London locations. Developed by Frogwares Studio, Secret of the Silver Earring allows players to experience a new murder-mystery adventure featuring the investigative skills of world’s most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes.
“Secret of the Silver Earring is a great game for anyone who enjoys crime-solving drama and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,” said James Regan, director, business development for Ubisoft’s North American Division. “At under 20 dollars, it’s a great value. You can grab a copy for yourself and give it as a gift for the murder-mystery fan in the family.”
The game features over 30 investigating hours and five graphically rich levels that bring the fog-laced streets of London to life. Each level requires players to question witnesses, investigate potential suspects and uncover clues. Players will consider the evidence at the end of each level and put their powers of deduction to the test. Play as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in an original storyline inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
