I already have PURPS on my site (which remains) but have installed this also and am very happy with it. Why? well, PURPS had some problems for me as a component and I have basically restricted it (little hacking here and there) to a profile based game using the CB tab (and renamed it Profile RPS).
The question for the review is, "What does JG RPS bring to the table?"
Well, apart from having a better component interface (a bit basic visually perhaps, but it is working for me where I had issues with PURPS, which was also fairly bland looking), your users are able to challenge other users (or even leave an open challenge for any site member to pick up), and attach a wager (AUP points for me, but other points systems are supported too) to the challenge as well. Not only that, but there is a cute built in integration with Shoutbox, and a nice recent activity set up, the best feature being that you can watch the games replayed for you on clicking the links (images could be a bit better for quality that, I assume they were worried about bandwidth or something, but the idea is great and works a treat).
I have renamed this 'Challenge RPS' and left PURPS on as 'Profile RPS', I just can't get enough of the interactive gaming for my site, and this, along with its 'sister component' (BlackJack) are fantastic additions!
Many thanks Vanama!
