If you enjoy playing games online then you should check out bigfish.com and realarcade.com. They let you try the games for 60 min. and then you can buty them if you like. They both have different types of plans to purchase games at a discount. These are my two favorite game sites.

I used to be an online game addict, I had to start a 12 step program to break my addiction.

Lloyd you are too funny. I love video games and and some online games. Yes I am very addicted. You should have seen me running around trying to find a Wii after Christmas. My husband gave me a gift certificate for one because they were so scarce. Finally got it, Love it, Zelda is the best game ever.

hmmm, I have only observed people boxing, playing baseball and bowling with the Wii. I am not sure I can see how to play pool with it, but I am sure you will show me the next time I come out there.

The Sports game that come with Wii, that has the baseball, boxing and bowling. Tennis too. I really like the bowling.

I'm not sure how it will work either, but the kids will show me....then I can show you

I'm yet to have the pleasure of trying out a Wii, though having seen people attempt to play demo consoles in our local Game, I doubt that I'd be any good. Watching a bunch of young kids pick it up in no time really made me feel my age, despite the fact I've only got a few years on them! I still prefer the old keyboard and mouse - playing Time Splitters at a friends house in front of people a couple of years back was truly embarrassing. I spent more time looking at the floor than anything else...

They look good, but as they are still not readily available here and prices are still high, may be one buy that has to wait a few months.

Hi everyone!
I love online games at POGO! I love the variety and even broke down and paid the for the subscription so I didn't have to wait during the commercials. Ya'll are right about how addicted you can get to them. There are many a nights that I thought I would fall asleep in my chair, facedown on the keyboard.
Oh and I'm really jealous about the Wii! Tetris is my all time favorite game and I can't wait until I get the system!

Welcome ladypawnbroker. I used to have a severe Pogo addiction several years ago: checkers, backgammon, Crazy 8's, some balloon game. I used to be in leagues there and was frequently the point leader in several games.

It would not be unusual for me to wake up with my face on my keyboard. I had to quit because I got nothing done. I made some good friends there, but that did not pay the rent, so I had to let them go.

Isn't real life inconvenient? I used to love flash games - Stick Cricket was a big favourite, though the likes of Roberto Baggio and Yeti Sports also got more than their fair share of playing time.

I guess it boils down to the fact it takes people back to how games used to be when it was all about playability. These days as much effort seems to go into making games look good rather than focusing on the gameplay element. Not that I don't appreciate stunning 3D worlds of course, just sometimes I want something to kill 10 minutes that will keep me coming back again and again in a vain attempt to reach that elusive top score
