    Gnosis (from one of the Greek words for knowledge) combine it with Learning or Games.

    Edit: Oh snap person above me said it first, time for me to research deeper.

    ok - great start!!!

    lobu sounds too much like lobotomy.... not a pleasant procedure
    Gnosis sounds too much like ghost....
    upsilon is one of the last latters in the alphabet - alfagames or deltagames would have been better

    please keep trying) let's have more positive images and associations!

    I got it, Aeschylus Games, Aeschylus was a play writer who innovated theater. Basically he was a downer who wrote theater and poetry and he died in a sort of awesome way. Some birds of prey are smart enough to know that when they hunt a turtle they cannot open it's shell to eat it but the grab them, fly up and throw them to the ground aiming for rocks, that way they smash against them and crack their shells. The eagles usually aim for river rocks, those being of a rounder shape because of the water erosion... well, the guy was outside one day and a damn tortoise fell on his bald head :p
    I can easily see the animated logo, a bald bearded guy with a robe being smashed in the head (not in a gory way of course) by a tortoise, everybody knows tortoises are associated with knowledge :D
    I know it's crazy but think about it, makes sense, the logo of course would be the smart tortoise but you get a Greek sounding name for the company and a cool way to present the logo.

    Other latin ideas.
    Facultas Games, Facultas meaning Ability
    Lepidus Games, Lepidus meaning Elegant
    Eximius Games, Eximius meaning Excellent
    Eventus Games, Eventus meaning Experience
    Auctus Games, Auctus meaning Growth
    Auxilium Games, Auxilium meaning Help
    Addo Games, Addo meaning Inspire
    Agnitio Games, Agnitio meaning Knowledge
    Doctrina Games, Doctrina meaning Learning
    Animus Games, Animus meaning Memory, may be a little burnt because of the Assassins creed games :p
    Novus Games, Novus meaning New
    Qualitas Games, Qualitas meaning Quality

    We'll certainly consider, but from this point on will PayPal only if we end-up buying the domain. Our primary market is US and GB; thus, Spanish sounding names could be perceive not as well as English/Latin... don't know why - it's their culture)...
