If you haven't played an online flash game before, then you're missing out on a truly fun experience. There are sites with hundreds of addictive, fast-paced, and creative little games. You can spend hours stuck on just one game, determined to get to the last level. If you've got work to do, then you should probably stay away from flash games. You'll find yourself using valuable work time playing the games, and you'll have trouble tearing yourself away.
In order to find the most fun and addictive flash games, you can look in many different places. Some sites collect flash games, categorize them, organize them, and allow users to rate them. You can then see the most popular games, sorted by their ratings, the number of play, or the style of the game. This really helps to narrow down the type of game you play. Some days you might be in the mood for a fast-paced action game, or you may be in the mood for a logic game that requires you to think. All styles of games exist, it's just a matter of finding them. Some of the most popular game sites include Ebaum's World, Newgrounds, AddictingGames, and FlashArcade.
There are other sites which are focused more on the developers of free flash games. GotoAndPlay is a popular site like this, along with the Experimental Gameplay Project. While these sites are geared towards developers, there is still a place for people who just want to play games. In fact, by playing a game and telling the maker what you think, you can play a crucial role in the development of the game, and help to improve it for future players. So if you're willing to type a little bit to the programmer, those sites may be great for you.
If you're interested in making free flash games, then you need the program that gets it done: Adobe Flash. It's expensive to buy, but you can use a trial version for free. It also takes a lot of effort to learn ' however, that effort is not all in memorizing code and functions, as with other programming languages. Mostly you focus on learning the layout of Flash, and how to time things right.
Free flash games are all over the internet, and are extremely popular because of how fast and convenient they are. No file downloads, no installations, and no OS-specific games. So look up some flash games, and start playing!

Finders Keepers- Casual Game Review by Dustin Caro
Finders Keepers, a new release from Jenkat Games, is quite a challenge for anyone who likes Flash games. I was hooked in the early rounds and have been playing it every day for a week.
The object of the game is to gather floating items and swimming things and haul them onto your boat. Each item wins you some dollars, which go toward reaching the amount you need to get to the next level. If you end up with more money than you need when the time runs out, you win and proceed to the next round. And if you are especially good at reeling in the sea's treasures, all that extra cash caries over and goes towards the next level's goal. Do well enough in the early levels and you don't have to sweat as much in
the later.
Playing through several levels -- on the easiest of the four difficulty settings, because my trap line skills are not yet world class -- was an intuitive snap. The controls thoughtfully allow players to guide Floyd (the main character) with either the mouse or the keyboard. I found the later a bit quicker to grasp, especially because all you need are the four arrow keys. Left and right move the boat. Up tosses a bomb to destroy whatever you've hooked if you decided taking the time to get it into your boat isn't worth it. This key also will turn Goldie the Cat loose with his bag of gadgets. Whenever he's holding something, just hit it (or click on him) and you'll be treated to some helpful pyrotechnics or a super, treasure gathering vacuum. The down key drops your trap line hopefully netting you something valuable. If you would rather do all of this with the mouse, Finders Keepers is happy to accommodate. They make it easy to play game.
Between levels, you get to visit the nice Eskimo girl's store, where you can buy items like additional bombs and cogs, which increase the speed your trap line swings. But spending cash on these nifty tchotchkes reduces what you have in your wallet to start the next level. That makes it harder to meet your needed money quota so try to find a balance between saving and buying things to make fishing easier. As with most Flash games there are cheats but I have yet to find them.
The deluxe version, only available as a game download, adds some new features like three game modes, multiplayer, and more. Like the best online games, Finders Keepers is quick to jump in to and addictive in that "Oh, I have time for just one more level" sort of way.
Michelle Malco is a life long online gamer and has been writing game reviews for over ten years. Some of her favorite game downloads can be found at www.JenkatGames.com. Her love of play started as a child when she would play arcade games for hours on end. If you like to play free games check out Finders Keepers.
