Gamesloth

Gamesloth.com is a free online gaming site which has an enormous choice of flash games on offer.  Games are updated on a daily basis, with new games or versions of existing games added at regular intervals.  The amount of games offered at any one time runs into hundreds, if not thousands, and even the most choosy of gamers is sure to find something there to whet their appetite.

Of course, on of the downfalls of going into a free gaming site such as this, is are you going to open your computer to a whole host of unwanted flash pop ups and spam emails.  Well, with Gamesloth there should be no such worries as the site has been deemed as being a safe site to visit by McAfee internet security.  They also confirm that most of the sites external links are also safe, or only have minor safety or annoyance issues.

When you visit the Gamesloth home page, the first thing that strikes you is the simplicity of the layout of the hundreds of different games on offer.  Some thought has been put into the design and the whole point of the site is to make it easy for you to choose and play your desired games.  One huge plus point is that it is not filled with lots of dancing, flashing and moving graphics which distract you from your choice of game.  All of the games are arranged within categories so making the search and selection of a particular game nice and easy to navigate.

Whatever your preference, be it cards or casino games, sports games, puzzles, arcade games or action games, then you will find a huge variety to choose from, and there is bound to be something which will grab your attention.

Another plus point is that you won’t be required to download any software to your own computer in order to play.  All the games are designed to fun on the basic technology that all modern computers possess.

Of course, all the tried and tested old favourites are available, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Brothers and Cube Field just to mention a few.  Gamesloth also has a simple search field whereby you type in the name of a particular game you are looking for, and the results flash up.  For example, if you search for ‘Sonic’, at present you are able to play four different versions of the game; Sonic, Supersonic RC, Sonic on Clouds and Sonic Island.

Whatever page you go into on the site, the layout is displayed in the same format.  At the top will be a list of the newest games in that particular genre, and below will be a list in alphabetical order of all the other available games.  Each game listing will show you a small graphic of the game and a short description.  Then, if you want to play that game, you just click the ‘play now’ and the game will be displayed in seconds.  Although it does not come up as a full screen size, it is of a decent enough display for you to be able to enjoy playing.  The games have good graphics and good sounds, in fact, exactly the same sounds as you would expect should you download or buy the actual games themselves.  The layout of the home page also has a list of the ten most popular games and, for those who decide to create an account, a list of new users.

With Gamesloth, not only are the games free to play, but there is no need to register with them if you don’t wish to.  Of course, there is an option to register and if you do, then you only have to provide a user name, password and email address, so it’s simple and quick.  Once registered, you will then have the ability to save your favourite games in one place, and to access them quickly and easily at your own url – gamesloth.com/YourName.  Another advantage of creating a Gamesloth account is their free chat board, where you can talk away to your hearts content to other like minded gamers.

Of course, the main disadvantage of the games on Gamesloth is that you don’t have full length versions of the games.  But for anyone who wants a huge variety, or wants to play certain games before they decide that they might want to shell out on a full version of a perfect game, then this is the perfect solution.
