What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Games cards roll the dice. Sometimes the dice roll you.

The site, in 2004

A website about video games, in English.

It started in November 2004 as Pro-G.co.uk, set up by the university friends Adam McCann and Tom Orry, and took the name VideoGamer.com in 2007.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
