SILVER SPRING, Md., Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Webs.com (formerly Freewebs), a leading social media company, today announces the introduction of its Social Gaming Network (SGN), the first gaming network designed exclusively for the development and integration of gaming into popular social networks. Today's launch is strengthened by SGN's acquisition of the popular social network game FightClub.
The hugely successful game WarBook, the first game from SGN to launch on Facebook in August 2007, is now one of its most popular games. The SGN network will continue to leverage the power of the 'network effect' to build a library of new games exclusively for social networks.

"SGN is offering games and gaming environments that uniquely leverage people's social connections transforming a typical gaming experience into one that is more relevant, more engaging, more competitive and ultimately more enjoyable for the player. There is a totally different gaming experience - competing against friends or colleagues and comparing your rank in the broad social network -- that is driving the enormous adoption of games like WarBook and Super Snake."
