History
EGO initially started as a social game for mobile phones. It was quickly developed into a social game that could be played on mobile phones, the Web and social networking sites such as Facebook. IGN Wireless called EGO "an effective hybrid of the Nintendo Mii channel and the MySpace/Facebook phenomenon."
In September 2008 the first two club games were launched on EGOCity.com. These clubs were "EGO Fighting Championship", a multiplayer fighting game, and "EGO Love Lounge", a dating & chat game. Later in 2008, two additional clubs were launched: "EGO Hangman", a brain teaser thinking challenge, and "EGO Texas Hold 'Em", an avatar variation of the popular casino poker game.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
