发布时间:2010-11-17 11:23:55 Tags:,,,

日前,今年5月离辞的前英国Player X公司CEO托尼·皮尔斯(Tony Pearce)又开拓了一项新事业,创办了TeePee Games游戏搜索网站。

据了解,TeePee Games这个游戏搜索门户网站,内容涵盖手机、社交和网络平台的游戏,能满足用户的多种游戏搜索需求。

皮尔斯表示,游戏玩家经常面临难以找到新游戏的问题,因为各个平台前20名的游戏基本上都没有什么差别,TeePee Games打造了一个出色的搜索引擎,结合了Amazon的推荐引擎和苹果Genius的搜索功能。

TeePee Games将结合游戏网站和社交网站的评份情况,对排在前列的游戏以及质量过硬、但却只能居尾的游戏重新进行更客观地排序。

用户可以将自己的TeePee帐号与Facebook、Twitter、YouTube和Myspace网站绑定,对自己的游戏搜集进行分类管理,只要在同一个网站页面上就能搜索游戏。

皮尔斯声称,“TeePee的数据将随着用户搜集数量的增长而增长,可以创建一个详细的文件夹,保存用户在不同平台玩过的游戏,然后再根据游戏类型,向用户提供个性化的游戏推荐服务。”

另外,皮尔斯还透露,TeePee Games公司在种子轮融资中已获得50万美元投资,前Sega公司CEO和Connect2Media现任董事长尼克·亚历山大(Nick Alexander)、前GameJack总经理西蒙·琼斯(Simon Jones)加入了TeePee董事会,并分别担任TeePee董事会主席和首席文化官。

手机创收平台Metaflow公司总经理查尔斯·麦克劳德(Charles McLeod),也将以非执务董事的身分加入TeePee Games团队。

据悉,TeePee Games网站将于明年第一季度正式上线。(本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译,转载请注明来源:游戏邦)

Former Player X CEO Tony Pearce unveils social gaming discovery portal TeePee Games

Having left Player X back in May, following its sale to Spanish publisher Zed, former CEO Tony Pearce has unveiled his next project – TeePee Games.

Pearce’s new company is set to act as a discovery portal for games spanning mobile, social media and the web, providing users with what he claims will be a single spot for all their gaming needs.

“The problem is very clear – game players are simply not finding new games because the top 20 dominates each category,” said Pearce.

“TeePee Games has built an incredible discovery engine – a cross between Amazon’s recommendation engine and Apple Genius.”

Social set up

TeePee will set about redressing the balance between apps at the top of the charts and those unfairly lingering at the bottom by linking up directly with scores of websites and social networks.

Users will be able to integrate their TeePee accounts with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and MySpace, managing their games collections and searches from one location.

“It learns and grows with the user, building a detailed profile of what the user has played across different gaming platforms and in turn recommends the ‘best in class’ games content, selected for them personally,” Pearce added.

Firm foundations

To back up the move, Pearce claims to have already secured $500,000 in seed funding, with former Sega CEO and current Connect2Media boss Nick Alexander and former GameJacket MD Simon Jones joining the firm’s board as chairman and CCO respectively.

Charles McLeod, MD of mobile monetisation platform Metaflow, is also set to join as a non-executive director.

Launching in Q1 2011, developers and publishers looking to sign up their titles for day one are advised to contact TeePee via darren.newnham@teepeegames.com. (source:pocketgamer)
