Popcap Game Site Review by Randall Flag

Popcap.com is the website for the ever popular popcap games. Just about every office worker or schoolchild with time on their hands that I know has tried a Popcap game in their lifetime. They all enjoy them and can easily spend time lost in these games, whose trial versions are akin to minigames and do not badger the gamer to purchase the full versions. [Read more →]

Disney Channel Games Review by Christina Leigh Pritchard

Although it takes a moment to load the 116+ games, the Disney Game Station is organized and displayed perfectly for it’s young audience. Animated “bubbles” hold games and float in the game station. Simply click a “bubble” and you are transported to an exciting free Disney game! Or, if preferred, gamers can select an option to view games as a list. This function is very easy to use and navigate but not as fun or exciting as the floating “bubbles”. [Read more →]

Miniclip Game Review by Crystal Collins

If you are one of the millions of internet users that enjoy playing games online, you have most likely visited Miniclip’s website or at the very least, played a game by this brand on another gaming site. Founded in 2001, the privately owned company competes with names like Yahoo!, Disney, and other big brutes of the entertainment industry. The company professes to target a demographic of ages 13-18 years old primarily, but people of all ages and with all levels of gaming experience and drive will find a way to stay busy at this site.

Big Fish Games Site Review by Pam Thompson

Big Fish Games is a wonderful website for downloading a wide variety of games for personal use. The Big Fish Game Club allows you to purchase games for as low as $6.99 each, which is a fabulous deal considering that most of these games sell for a minimum of $19.99 other places online.

Big Fish Games touts “A New Game Every Day”, and delivers on this promise. Big Fish is also unique in the world of online game sites in that it offers downloadable games for children as well as adults. I can download a Dora the Explorer game alongside the latest offering from the Diner Dash series of time management games. [Read more →]

Real Arcade Game Review by Jeff Parsons

I’ve been playing at another very popular site for a long time, and have gotten used to not expecting much from the internet. When I went to the Real Arcade website, I was surprised by what was there. Wow! I was impressed! I bookmarked this site.

The one thing that stands out immediately is the screen setup and usage. It’s very easy on the eyes. I think that the owners of RealPlayer know a thing or two about what works and what doesn’t when it comes to media presentation. It’s also easy to find the games you’d like. Overall, it looks simple, accessible and professional. [Read more →]

AddictingGames.com Review by Lili Melton

Addicting indeed are games on addictinggames.com. I once spent hours trying to get a penguin to fly across the snow just to beat a high score. Repeatedly I hit the enter key analyzing how, when, and even how hard to hit the key. I pondered, “If I hit a second sooner, a split second later, when the penguin was closer, which would get the penguin to flyer farther and score me more points?” Yes, a waste of valuable time.

Pogo Games Review by Annemarie Heyns

One of todays more popular game sites for casual gamers is Pogo.com. The site not only features Pogo online games but also Club Pogo, and Pogo To Go downloadable games. The site is greatly supported by pop-up advertising but for a small subscription fee to Club Pogo, you can have all the ads removed. One very effective feature of the site is the awarding of cash prizes. Win a game or certain number of levels and you have a chance to win a prize. [Read more →]

Yahoo Games Review by John Gray

If you’re looking for a website that has games with more longevity then maybe Yahoo Games is the site for you. The site is clearly aiming for gamers interested in classic puzzle and strategy games. Amongst the most frequent games played on the site includes Chess, Dominoes and Scrabble. Also included are Sims-style games such as Build-a-lot and Sally’s Salon. [Read more →]
