Lowbrow: Sites I like.
Short and to the point:
[ http://www.newgrounds.com/ ]: probably the first big-name Flash gaming site I'd ever seen. Pretty classy, insofar as the interface is concerned. Good graphic design, good content rating system. A fair amount of regularly-generated everything. The huge quantity of free music is also a plus. The rather large quantity of shit that gets posted is typically dealt with quickly.
[ http://kongregate.com/ ]: I found this one much later than any of the others, but it seems to regularly turn out good, quality content. The community here is mostly friendly, and all of the interface is very clean-cut. The achievements and badges here are quite addictive.
[ http://armorgames.com/ ]: I got linked to this site from both newgrounds and kongregate. They're kinda like a huge development behemoth of a company, but they feel very friendly and turn out top-notch content.
Where do you play your (free) online games?

ReplyDeleteFor me, newgrounds really. Never really looked elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll check these other two out! Thanks for sharing
Wow, I remember visiting newgrounds WAAAAY back in 2001.
ReplyDeleteI thought I was already following you...
ReplyDeleteI actually already knew about all 3 of those sites. I've been to several gaming websites of that sort, and those 3 are the only quality ones that I can think of. So I don't use any others. I haven't used Newgrounds for a while, actually.
I love newgrounds, but other than that..
ReplyDeleteTehHappyPlace
all great sites, good list.
ReplyDeleteI used to play on these websites, but the games got boring. I prefer full-fledged games to them.
ReplyDeleteWhen I get bored, I'll check it out more.
ReplyDeleteFollowing and supporting.

I used to play flash games all day on these sites at my last job.. awesome time-killers
ReplyDeleteI used to go to newgrounds at work all the time! but that was in the early 00's. Good to know its still going strong! I liked all your links, thanks :)
ReplyDeletei used to use a couple of these, now i don't do much flash gaming. sometimes i go on omgpop.com and shoot pool on there. but that's about it.
ReplyDeleteI usually play my free games on facebook because they are usually kept well updated, and I like gloating about my highscores to my friends lol
ReplyDeleteUsed to go on newgrounds myself a few years back. Hardly have gone to it since. But it's nice to see it being brought up again.
ReplyDeletewill be checking the sites out, thanks.
ReplyDeletekeep up the good blog.
