www.PlaySEGA.com is up and live and we’re all very excited to be able to discuss it! Over the past several months the SEGA Web group has been quietly working on the site and have had a lot of fun creating the games, avatars, escapes, and battling for high score glory. Now with the site up we can start discussion all the stuff we enjoy and want you to enjoy too.

What is PlaySEGA?
PlaySEGA is simply a place to play free games online.

So we work in web, we’re gamers and we play a lot of web games. Given the opportunity and the right project, our designers created some minigames, maybe you’ve played them. PlaySEGA is a new site that allows SEGA to put a new spin on web games, and offer some cool perks to go with it.

Avatars and Escapes
We’ve got games, but we’ve also have a full Avatar and Escape system in place to give you a chance to customize your PlaySEGA experience. Avatars and Escapes are a fun addition that allows you to bring a bit of yourself to the experience and customize what you look like and the world you live in. Play games, earn rings, buy clothes or escape items and do what you want to do in the space.

PlaySEGA Rings
On account set up, you’ll be gifted 2,000 rings to do with what you will; from there you’ll need to play the games to earn more rings. I’ve gone in and dressed up my avatar a bit (the likeness is spot-on!)and now have my sights set on a new Escape (eyeing the Halloween one first and foremost, but I’m down with the Swiss Chalet too). We’re going to be adding in a lot more items into the Escape system, so be on the look out for updates in the weeks/months to come.

Rings also have another purpose – cash prizes! We’ll be running weekly giveaways of $100; all you need to enter is 50 rings. You can enter as many times as you like, so long as you have enough rings to support multiple entries.

Have Fun!
So those are the basics for PlaySEGA. There’s definitely a lot we have in mind for the site going forward, and we’re totally thrilled to have it up so everyone can play and enjoy it. If you haven’t had a chance to get your feet wet with the site, head on over and sign up, play a few games, and tell us what you think.
