Interesting Online Games-1

Word games have become very entertaining online. People who are good with words (and spelling) will enjoy the numerous variety of word challenging games. These include unscrambling letters to form a word - the longer words you form, the better. Some are based on filling in blank spaces or dashes, then guessing the word. Hangman, as an example, is similar to word games that are offered. Of course, an all-time favorite for many are word searches that you electronically circle words that are hidden straight across, vertically, diagonally, upside down and backward.
Over the past several years the games that are personally recommended are: The Mystery Case Files - Ravenhearst. Hidden object fun is the key feature in this game, developed by Big Fish Games. After playing the free download trial of 1 hour, you may purchase the full game for $19.99. An activation code is emailed to you with instant access to play the game. Other games recommended are Dream Vacation Solitaire, by Oberon Media; Mysteryville (hidden object) from Real Arcade; Azada (hidden object/strategy) by iWin; and Scrabble from Spintop Media. Some game sites give you an option to purchase a backup CD of your purchase that range from $6.99 and up, depending on the site. However, once the games are downloaded on your computer, you usually have up to three reactivation opportunities in case of a computer mishap.
Online games are an excellent way to spend extra or idle time you may have. They can be relaxing, fun, challenging and in some cases, 'addicting.'
