Nothing on TV? Gone through your Xbox gaming list? Fresh out of alcohol?
How about some online gaming then? The internet is littered with sites offering free games with great quality and longevity. Though, only one stands above the rest. Newgrounds has been operating for over fifteen years - offering concept defining artwork, excellent storylines and genres so wide and varied that you'll spend hours trawling through categories.
The website itself looks fresh, edgy and user-friendly. Not only does it offer FREE games. There's animations, flash movies and audio clips featuring Zombies, Anime, Comic Book characters and popular cult figures.
The site itself shows its most popular (score/users), most recent, in development and greatest ever games; whilst allowing you define which game you'd like to play.
With choice including action, adventure, strategy, sport, simulation - its alot to take in. Within each category you can sub-select something else. For example, you can select Adventure then either Point and Click or RPG. Likewise, the sports section is sectionned into
football, golf, racing, boxing etc.
Newgrounds actively supports their developers. Both professional companies and ambitious amateurs get room to upload their content, have it reviewed and hopefully each their Hall of Fame. Developers, artists and story writers are all linked into the site - to allow users to sample both previous submissions and future concepts.
Newgrounds has itself own online support forum, chat service, online shop centre; as well as dedicated links to artwork, audio, videos, games and usual facebook/twitter pages.
