BURBANK, Calif., March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Games have always been a favorite of the technology world and 2010 is no different, except in scale. Reaching around $13 Billion this year, online gaming is growing at a massive rate with social games leading the way (think: Farmville, Texas Hold'em, Mafia wars) and predicted to reach $1 Billion this year. 

Much of this growth is fueled by traditionally non-gamer demographics, including women over 35 (one the fastest growing groups) and is often powered by social sites (with Facebook the most popular destination).

In response to this, today MeFeedia launched a new games section, a way for people to find games from thousands of websites in 1 place. Official game partners include Heyzap and Games2win, as well as aggregating over 15,000 games from many of the leading gaming sites including Miniclip, Addicting Games, and Armour Games. 

Some facts about online gaming:

  1. The online gaming industry is currently worth over $13 Billion and growing fast.
  2. Many new gamers are not from traditional gaming demographics (women over 35 are the hot new market)
  3. Social gaming, the fastest growth area, may reach $1 Billion in 2010.
  4. UK and US has nearly 100M regular social gamers
  5. MeFeedia now has 15,000+ great casual games and many more in the pipeline.

MeFeedia Games is part of a continuous approach to deliver a complete online entertainment solution. MeFeedia's media engine provides a deeper experience for consumers to engage in all types of media, including Movies, TV, Music, News and Games all in one place.

Owner Frank Sinton states "Adding games to our existing collection of millions of online videos, TV, and Movies was a logical step that we have been waiting a while to launch. Everyone at MeFeedia is excited to play games all day."
