Do you hate having to ALT-TAB out of The Witcher to consult the a walkthrough? Do you want to watch stupid videos while you try to hit level 76 in WoW ?

“By offering an excellent in-game web browser, GotGame is unlocking the door for gamers to explore all of their favorite websites, while they play,” said Win Betteridge, CEO of GotGame. “The possible ways that gamers can use Rogue are as broad as the Internet itself.”

(Broad as the Internet itself! Imagine that. That's so broad.)

Rogue is a new browser built for gamers dudes and gamer dudettes. It is specifically designed to be used while games are running -- it has low memory requirements, and can be brought on screen at the push of a hot key. Supposedly it'll never ever crash your game.

It seems like the browser is specifically aimed at WoW'sers, and other MMORPG fans, who don't actually need to pay much attention to the game they are playing, when locked in endless grinds.

"Rogue previously functioned as a part of GotGame’s LIVE application. The choice to launch the web browser as a standalone application comes from an immense quantity of positive feedback from LIVE’s beta testers.

Rogue’s Notable Features:
• Game overlay for Windows XP & Vista
• Full CSS, JavaScript, and Flash support
• Editable homepage and bookmarks
• GotGame Search powered by Google
• Hot key to open/hide browser when in game
• Configurable transparency settings
• Optimization toggle for faster/slower computers"

I had something like this back in 2006, so this isn't a new concept. I'd rather alt-tab out to be honest as I don't need something running in the background all the time that isn't necessary. Xfire is enough And the number of times I do need to alt-tab out is minimal.
