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 →]
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 →]

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’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 →]
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.
