In another sign of the ever-growing importance and influence of video games, EchoStar and its DISH Network satellite television service have announced that it will offer a new interactive application called DishGAMES as part of its “DishHOME” interactive channel 100.
DishGAMES will feature 16 games from PixelPlay’s branded games including ASTEROIDS MEGA and CENTIPEDE MEGA. It will also include prizing, score submission, leader board and tournament capabilities.
To subscribe to DishGAMES, customers can select an on-screen “subscribe” button using their remote control which will connect them directly to the interactive TV customer service application.
DishGAMES is $4.99 per month or $49.99 annually. New customers will have access to all 16 games for the first five weeks, after which the games will rotate out weekly from an extensive library. All games will also be available for non-subscribers in demo mode.

A LITTLE SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR DISH GAME TOURNAMENTS....THEY'RE RIGGED.
SERIOUSLY SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK UP ON THESE TOURNAMENTS.
I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THEY ARE RIGGED SOMEHOW.EVEN THOUGH IT CAN COST ME A #10 POSITION AND A $100 PRIZE,I'M WILLING TO TELL YOU HOW I KNOW THAT THESE GAMES ARE RIGGED.
we love the dish games i ordered it for my disabled husband he loves solitarie, please hurry and put it back on.
I love the chainz games, but they are not on the dish games menu not nearly enough. I Also love hidden travels.
Is it possible to request what games you would like on your system? By the time you really get interested in a certain game, it seems that it changes. Some of the games I am not interested in playing, and wish you all would discontinue them on my system. What I love about it is that you all sometimes change the games and therefore give us a chance to try new games we have never seen before. Where in the world did yall get that international Monopoly, it sucks. Thank you all and please put chainz and chainz 2 on more often.
I love to play games on the tv however it is not possible to log on and enter the contest due to the fact I have a cell phone and I think you should make it so you can log in on line also the first three game picks are mostly for children and you need to have more exciting games. please try more veritity not the same games over and over.
what happened to the game Text Twist?????
