Politics, Spreadsheets and More Are All Grist for the (Free) Game Mill

Charles Herold recently wrote an article for the NY Times titled ‘Politics, Spreadsheets and More Are All Grist for the (Free) Game Mill’.

Two months ago, I was drowning in video games. In the pre-Christmas onslaught, games pour into every video game critic’s office as though blasted out of a fire hose; you need waders to slosh around in them.

After reading the article, I began thinking about how hard it actually is to find quality free games on the internet. When I first started playing free web games, I’d use Google which is really a hit or miss method that can take hours to yield any positive results. Even with sites like Kongregate out there with great collections of games, it’s still a tough task locating new free games. There certainly are plenty of free games to be found online, yet there’s no real way of finding them all with ease. As casual web games become more and more popular, more media outlets such as Gaming Today really need to find more ways to bring these games to the public eye.

Personally, I try to give some exposure to any free web game I find, as long as it’s a really good one. If any of our readers come across a game that we haven’t covered, feel free to send us a tip. Our tip email address is gamingtoday@filefront.com.
