The Internet is full of interesting and fun game sites to spend an evening or a lazy Sunday. For many, there is almost no other better way to spend time than getting deeply immersed in online games. The only decision involved is selecting the right site. This is compounded by hackers, phishers, and spyware suppliers who are keen in promising free games to hook their victims. Online gaming sites offer almost everything from solo-player arcade classics to more sophisticated multiplayer Pictionary clones. Most gaming sites may require you to install Java, an Active X control, or Adobe's Flash player. Luckily, none will ask you to key in your credit card number. The following are some of the best free online game sites that you can spend away countless hours on the computer playing your favorite games:
Kongregate
Kongregate from Gamestop Corporation has been an online gaming staple since its inception in 2007. With about 70,000 games, this free gaming site boasts an immense wealth of diverse games including role-playing, shooters, action, puzzle and online multiplayer. Although it is free, users who value premium membership get exclusive access to special themes, ad-free gaming, icons, private chat rooms, and latest releases.
Armor
Armor Games currently showcases an ever-expanding display of the web’s most fancied online games besides upcoming alternatives. The main game categories vary from sports and strategies to shooters and arcade. Armor also seeks to tap into the popular MMO market by incorporating games like 1100AD, Magic, and Sword.
Addicting Games
Addicting Games is one of the oldest gaming sites and it’s still among the best. It boasts a more extensive category list than any of the other sites, incorporating girls’ sections and cute shooters. It is the most childish site owned and run by Nickelodeon. Still, this Flash-based site does have something for everyone.
Newgrounds
Newgrounds hosts a great selection of games from the stereotypical action/adventures to more obscure simulation and adult titles. Its forums are engaging and bustling, and the site also hosts monthly gaming contests and animation creators.
Crazy Monkey
Crazy Monkey Games is a robust game collection worth checking out. Most games in this gaming site have short game guides with tips and tricks for navigating some more frustrating parts of your favorite titles. One downside is that the site is kind of ad-heavy with limited features.
MiniClip
MiniClip is a site that has gradually become the world’s largest private online game site in the world. Besides Addicting Games, it beats the rest as the most substantial game library. The site is also laden with player profile pages, awards, online leaderboards, and achievements accessible through social media. MiniClip features most standard genre games as well as remarkable sports games selections.
Yahoo
Still one of the most popular gaming sites around, Yahoo Games is not obsolete or less entertaining. Besides classics like solitaire and chess, this site more than shallowly dabbles into genres like arcade and arcade.
