PlayAlong.com
Can't tell how much it'll cost, but it's just parked there for now. The name is like "Come, play along with me!"

tapthatgames.com
"you know you want to"
"Can you tap that?"
I own the domain.
Short, easy to remeber/spell, memorable, good branding/design potential, a little cheeky, "tap" relation to tapping game buttons etc.

I don't know... "TapThat" has kind of a slang aspect to it that a company might not want to identify with. Unless it's an online social/dating type site...
you definitely don't want to associate TapThat with online social/dating, it might come across as "sleazy"
It just depends on how and who you market it to. We used it in class and the ad concept we presented was a nerdy guy going up to a good looking girl on a phone and asking "can I...tap that?" and she goes sure and passes her phone and they play a game. We got some good feedback and it was described as edgy, viral and memorable.
I guess its matter of context and presentation.

We're a start up in the social gaming space founded about 3 years ago. We're growing quickly and looking to rebrand with a great consumer facing company name. We need your help!
The Reward: $1,000 via Paypal to the person who suggests the name we end up using.
We're looking for a name that's short, catchy, and memorable. It doesn't need to be related to social gaming, though it can be. Our only requirements are that the .com be available (or seemingly available) for $10K or less and that there are no outstanding trademarks on the name that we'd have to worry about.
We'll choose the best name by Friday, May 20th and post the winner.
Show us your awesome creativity HN! Looking forward to your suggestions!
