With the online gaming market heating up, game domains are in demand.  It's not just hype.  Remember CookingGames.com selling for $350,000? Bill Karamouzis, the CEO of Hallpass Media created quite a buzz in the Domain Community over his purchase.  He even paid $100K for StickGames.com.  Bill runs Hallpassmedia which dominates the casual games industry online with category-killers like WordGames.com, CoolGames.com, and the list is long.

Getting in on the online gaming industry from casual games to massive multiplayer games to fantasy games is big, big money.  Even the co-founders of Flickr, husband and wife team Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake, purchased Glitch.com for $19,000 which was covered all over the news after plans were unveiled that Glitch.com would be a massive multiplayer game playable in the browser.

Looks like there will be a speculator rush to buy up game related domain names now that the secret is out.

Do you own any good game domain names?
