Play, Play, Play: 10 of the best online-gaming sites on the net

One of the best things to do on the net is play stupid, addictive, time-wasting games. The coolest things about web-based games, is that you don't have to download anything, it's usually for free, and the games are relatively simple to master and enjoy.

There are many game sites and game lists out there. Here are some of the best:

• Kongregate: A huge selection of games, and a thriving community. Home to some of the most addictive flash games known to man. Don't forget to try the chat-rooms - there's a lot of fun going on there.


• Miniclip: Tons of games, mostly simple and short. You can embed the games in your site or blog.


• Orisinal: Probably the cutest game site ever made.


• One More Level: A collection of many flash games from various sites.


• friv: A huge, graphical list of 200 games. Nicely done.


• Crazy Monkey: Cool, smart games. Boxhead is the main hit, naturally.


• Online Retro Games: For the grown-ups who miss their gaming past.


• Oldgames.dk: Another excellent retro site.


• Yahoo Games: Sounds corny, but Yahoo still has some of the best flash games out there - including Yahoo Pool and Backgammon.


• Popcap: Some of the most addictive games known to mankind. Beware.

Have fun and remember - the minimize button is your friend! ;-)
