Curse Voice

While Curve Voice doesn't even attempt to reinvent the wheel, the software does cut down on how many programs you run. Plus, it doesn't cost anything. A software designed by Curse, this chat program is amped up. The company has more than 10 million registered users, and features for video games have been designed with a specific intent. For example, you could play games like Robocraft, Smite and Minecraft.

You can communicate in-game with the other Curse Voice users, and you can even talk across device platforms, including the smartphone. What else does Curse Voice do? The software supports Skype and Friend Sync. As needed, you can also set up a group chat and communicate with guild mates. The program works with Mac, PC and mobile devices. Also, an Android and iOS version will soon hit the market, but there's no news of a console version.

In the PC version of Curse Voice, you have a solid, well-designed platform. The software was designed to limit background noise, which means it works great in noisier environments. Along with audio options, Curse Voice includes a text messaging option where you can talk with other Curse users via texting. While the app does not cost anything, they do include small advertisements to help pay for the software. Luckily, this will not interfere with games like League of Legends or Smite. Unlike some of the other VoIP gaming services, you do not need a server to use the app, and you pay nothing to use it.
