When it comes to internet gaming, there are sites that will simply blow ones mind, some that you will visit from time to time, and some that just plain suck. The good sites are those with plenty of games, nifty features for the user to enjoy, and put together very nicely. The bad sites normally have a minimal amount of games, no extra features, and bad layouts and ideas.

The best sites for online flash gaming are

Addicting Games

Addicting Games is what any small gamers would want from a flash-game site. It is easy to navigate, giving selected categories for each type of game, such as action, shooting, sports, racing, and many more. Also, in terms of navigation, there is a search bar for you. If you can't find what you are looking for within 30 seconds, just type in what you want in the search bar and you will be taken to the game.

If you want to find some of the most popular or newest games, there are easy ways to do this.
To find the newest games, you simply go to the home page. There is a box, the first thing you see, filled up with the newest, best games submitted to addictinggames.com. When you highlight each, you are treated with information on the game, such as the category, the description, and the instructions to play each game.
If you want to find what is popular, on the top-right side of the page, there is a "What's Hot" button. Clicking this will bring you to a sub menu, asking if you want the newest, highest rated, or the most reviewed games.

Kongregate

Kongregate is an amazing site for flash gamers. If you just want to hang out at home, drink a cup of coffee and play a few games, the Kongregate is for you. Just like Addicting Games, it offers a plethora of choices, over 1000 games can be played at the click of a mouse. There are many categories to fit the needs of any gamer. If you like sports, head on over to the section and play a few games. If you like shooting, take a look at the Shooter section of the page. Each category can be accessed via the front page.

Kongregate has an interesting way of keeping the gamers interested and playing. First, they have an award system for the people who want a certificate of what they did. It's like having a spot on the highscore list. All your friends can see it, and you are pretty dang proud of it yourself. Also, while you're playing your favorite game, you can look to the right and see the conversations that are going on. Yes, Kongregate had a built in Chat system. It is useful if you have questions or if you
*sing* need somebody to love *sing*
The joke aside, you can chat with friends on this system. The only downside to this is that if you are a younger gamer, the obscenity of this chatbox can mess with your parents.

In my opinion, these are the two best internet gaming sites you can play on. I myself am a regular to both when I want to relax. You can always go on and find a new game or two that will interest you. Happy Gaming!
