Here's an example of what I was thinking of:
puzzle pirates
Players perform pirate tasks by playing a number of puzzle-style minigames.
Cost: subscription
Similar games : club penguin, vmk
Sound useful? If you can suggest similar games to the ones I have on this site and offer suggestions for new games to add to the list that would be great. Just comment in this post.
Also, I'm looking for some more reviews. Played/read/listened to any really great or really sucky games/books/cds lately? Click on the Write a review link at the right and tell us all about it.
