Peer-to-peer internet telephony network, Skype, has introduced a game channel where they are asking developers to contribute casual gaming content for Skype users.

What kind of games are we looking for? We are searching for Casual Games, preferably multiplayer so that Skype buddies can play against each other. Keep in mind Skype is a huge international community, so community based games can be an advantage. However the rules are not too strict, so if you believe that your single player game fits Skype Game Channel profile, go ahead contact us.

For expats like myself who use already use Skype to contact loved ones who are not the most savvy about gaming, this opens a door to play with relatives. Plus, I bet checkers would be better game than trying to guess what nationality of tourist fell into a canal this week. Kim Phu
