Casual Games

In keeping with the last post, here is the best of the best in causal games. Funny enough most causal games are free.

Best of the old school.

Casual games have gotten a nitch all there own. There are literally hundreds of games right now made in Flash that take advantage of the web browser as a distribution method. My personal favorite site that hosts these free flash games is Kongregate.com. Whats so good about this site is that it gives your account levels, cards, and rewards for playing these games.

The absolute best casual flash game on the market right now is Desktop Tower Defense. Nothing and I mean nothing is so incredibly addicting as this little flash game. you will spend hours defending the other side of the screen and watching little line drawn monsters assault your defenses wave after wave. Check it out here.

Best new stuff

So you have played tower defense till your fingers are raw. You can see little monsters in your sleep. Now its time to get to the really cool stuff. There is some new technology available that has allowed complex computer games to be run through your web browser. The only company worth mentioning in this new market is instantAction.com. What a crazy cool sight. Just think of it, hooking up with your friends instantly and blasting each other in a first person shooter. Then instantly swapping to another game while taking your group with you. This site is a must for any one interested in casual games.
