GameCrush Merges Girls & Gaming

Meet GameCrush -- a new social networking service that lets guys pay cash to play video games with attractive females. We can't imagine the service bodes well for young men, or the development of their interpersonal skills, but a popular service it might be.

The site lets guys view the profiles of "PlayDates." The profiles say what the girls' "turn ons" are, and shows their photos. If they find a girl they like, they can send her a game invite. If she accepts, users get six to ten minutes of one-on-one game time.

At launch, the service supports the Xbox 360, and some casual games hosted on the GameCrush web site. Support for the Wii, PlayStation 3, and World of Warcraft online game is expected to come later.
