Important Change - AOL Games is now Games.com

Larry C — 2009-07-01T07:00:00+00:00

FAQ ON POGO/GAMES.COM TRANSITION AND WHAT IT MEANS

After several great years of being partners, AOL games and Pogo are ending their relationship. It has been an outstanding partnership and we're aware that our players have been a part of the two sites for years. We appreciate all the great fun and friends people have made while playing and want to make sure the transition is smooth.

The change was made due to both sites goals changing and the need for each site to go it alone. With the transition there are a ton of questions. With the unknowns we've set up a Frequently Ask Questions section for the AOL Games/Games.com//Pogo.com transition.

Please review the following for more information on the changes coming to both sites

5 Games you Should be Playing but Aren't

Larry C — 2009-06-12T11:23:00+00:00

Ever love something so much that you just had to tell everyone about it? Only to have people not "get it"? That is how I feel about this next group of games.

These games are my hand picked favorites that you should be playing on Games.com.

5.
'99 Bricks' is a riff of the casual game classic Tetris. In '99 Bricks' your job is to build the highest possible tower with 99 Tetris blocks. '99 Bricks' retains the simplicity of Tetris while adding new elements like physics to the game pieces. I cannot recommend this game more!
Why aren't you playing? Click here to play '99 Bricks' now

4.
I love 'Papa's Pizzeria!' I love pizza so why wouldn't I love it! In 'Papa's Pizzeria' you play a young man who is left in charge of Papa Louie's pizzeria. You have to take orders, place toppings and manage the store while Papa is away.
With a great tutorial there is no WAY you will not love this pizza shop time management game
Gimme one good reason you aren't playing? Click here to play 'Papa's Pizzeria' now

3.
As a man of Latino decent dominoes is part of our culture. When I began testing All Fives Dominoes I was excited to play. Dominoes delivered in spades - high quality play, beautiful art and endless replay value.
If you're not entirely familiar with Dominoes, All Fives should be your entry point to a whole new world of play.
Why aren't you throwing those bones? Click here to play 'Dominoes: All Fives' now

2.
It seems like 2,000 Match 3 (Bejeweled type) games come out a day. However, it's not every day that an AWESOME one comes out. 'Germz' is a cute little match 3 game that ratchets up the difficulty level. If you think you have match 3 skills, zapping Germz is going to be your test.
Do your part in snuffing out swine flu! Click here to play 'Germz' now

1.
OMG! 'Death vs. Monstars' what a game! While off the beaten path of our normal games, this arcade shooter is simple and compelling. You play 'Death' and are taking on an ON-SLAUGHT of Monstars! I love this game and if you are looking for mindless shooting then this is your game!
Take your guns to town and dismiss the 'Monstars!' Click here to play 'Death vs. Monstars' now

Was I wrong with my choices? Please tell me what games I should be playing in the comments!

No news is good news? - Find out where I've been.

Larry C — 2009-06-02T15:09:00+00:00

No new games? No top games lists? What is going on at the Games.com Blog?
I know those are the questions that have been going through the Games.com Blog community. I just know it!

Where have I been?

Well, I am not afraid to share. The Games.com Blog has only one writer - me. Two weeks ago I got married! As you might assume the blog lost a bit of priority for a week or so prior.

Second, after I got married I went on my honeymoon - sadly so did the Games.com Blog. Having been away for two weeks I am ready and willing to get back to the tasks at hand and making sure that know what games are coming out and which games are burning up the charts.

I am glad to be back!

I'll stop talking about it....
