GameCrush Lets You Hire a Girl to Play With You
Welcome to the escort service of gaming, where girls get paid to be the PlayDates for both casual gaming and Xbox Live games such as Halo 3 and Modern Warfare 2.
It's no secret that gaming on online services such as Xbox Live, particularly in games like Halo or Modern Warfare, can be a rather crass and crude affair. Those looking to unwind after a long day of work and game in a rather, shall we say, more "social" experience could be exactly the segment that new startup GameCrush is going after.
GameCrush offers a service whereby gamers 18 and older pay $8.25 for a gaming session with a girl lasting between six to 10 minutes, with options for 'flirty' or 'dirty' chat. Six-minute sessions involve real face-to-face time over webcam with the girl over a casual game of checkers, pool or Battleship.
Those looking for more hardcore action can get 10 minutes of game time over Xbox Live in games of Halo 3, Modern Warfare 2, Gears of War 2 and Grand Theft Auto IV. While the games are more intense, the playtime is likely longer as there is no video chat involved. Support for Wii and PlayStation Network are in the works.
Like any respectable service, the girls who provide the gaming companionship get to take home 60 percent of the cash they bring in. These girls aren't actresses either, as they were found through a Craigslist posting seeing ladies who like to play games. The service right now has 1,200 registered female players, called "PlayDates," and it's free for any interested girls to sign up.
Where you and the girl take the webcam chat though, is entirely up to you.
Check out the video below for the tease of the service.
GameCrush.com launches today. For more, including a hands-on preview of the service, check out IGN's report.

Lol! You've got to be effing kidding me! Marcus you posted this article too soon man, it isn't April 1st yet.
Misleading Title, I'm sure there are lot's of dispointed people reading this, LOL.
Wow..... just wow.... for some reason, I see these people making quite a bit of money off of this idea....
.....one of the biggest wastes of money I've ever laid eyes upon.
What about a service for Catholics priests?
I bet it'll be popular in China
You have to be kidding me?
Misleading Title, I'm sure there are lot's of dispointed people reading this, LOL.
you must be one of the disappointed ones? what were you really hoping for?
Lame, yet at the same time I am jealous. Why aren't there lonely women gamers that want to play Halo with guys. I would let women pay me $9 for 10 minutes to play Halo with me...I'll talk sexy too..."Oh, baby, I'm gonna get you with my plasma rifle, oh yeah!"
D: WHERES THE SERVICE FOR ME TO GET HIRED BY UGGO GIRLS TO PLAY VIDYA GAMES WITH THEM
this is truly a sign that the world has completely gone to hell over video games. listen very carefully people.
GET OUT OF YOUR HOUSE AND MEET REAL PEOPLE.
thanks.
Awwww it's over a stupid webcam? I thought when they said escort service it meant they come to your house. Ok ladies it's naked twister time!!

i'd pay big money to play a game of BF:BC2 with jane
WTF!!! I mean seriously WTF!!!!
that's just crazy
WTF!!!!
and who said there is a sucker born every minute huh !!!!
This is genius, why didn't I think to do this first!?
Maybe I can setup the service that allows you to hire a group of friends to play with...
lol look in the address bar
This is simultaneously lame and awesome. Lame for the people that would use this service, awesome for the girls.
IGN did a post on this new service. the author claims that the girl he played with had her boyfriend trolling around in the background the whole time.
the owners claim that the cost is equivalent to buying a girl a drink and chatting her up for 10 minutes. difference is that at a bar, the girl may actually come home with you, thereby justifying the $8.25 or more in drinks.

Haha, you guys!
After a session you can rate your PlayDate on her hotness, gaming skill, and flirtiness. The highest-rated girls will receive preferred placement on the site. GameCrush is assembling a team of its most highly regarded PlayDates called JaneCrush, which should be similar to Ubisoft's Fragdolls. Members of JaneCrush will generate content for the site like blogs and editorials. GameCrush wants to turn its most popular girls into gaming stars.
for 2 seconds I almost felt like slipping on a wig and some make-up..., wow easy money.
who in there right mind would pay $8.25 for 10 minutes of play time. Gimme a break. Thats nearly $50 per hour.
Consider me a paying customer.
LOL... That's all I have to say..
Considering how violent many games are, this service should be extended to include incarcerated convicts. The average woman isn't too interested in capping aliens or zombies for hours on end. Gang members are an untapped talent pool. Then again, I know some US Marines that could offer the same.
Man...it really exists. Now I wonder if it's even any good.
bah. they don't come over to my house to play?! not interested.
Haha, you guys! I was referring to this bit that was explained by IGN:
I hope Jane doesn't get disappointed then!
