There are a heap of different types of Online Games - from action, arcade, shoot ‘ems and driving.  If you are not into games, they even have some short funny vid clips to watch. not only can you play the games, but you can leave a comment/rating for each game.  You can sign up to the site and if you do, then it will keep track of your high scores in all games you have played. I should sign up! I got the high score in a couple of games but because I wasn’t signed in it didn’t show up :(  I spent way too much time playing the games over there!

Once you have signed in, you can also add any game you play to your favourites list.  With so many games to choose from - there has to be at least 1000 of them this is a great Idea to keep track of your favourites.

All of the funny video clips even include a code so you can post them on your own blog or myspace.
