An Honest Review of Plays.org
Do you remember the first computer game you ever played? I can't remember if the first game I played was Oregon Trail - You have died of dysentery - or Wheel of Fortune (I had to type in manual commands to start it - picture a black screen with green block text). Flash forward through Age of Empires, The Sims, and lots of other computer-based games, and it's clear that I've been playing computer games for a long time.
So when Plays.org reached out about giving their new site a try, I was excited to see what they had.
Special thanks to Plays.org for collaborating with me for this post.
The website itself is really easy to navigate. It's got an old-school vibe, which my inner 90s kid really loved. There are no ads, so your game play won't be interrupted or obstructed. All of the games are free to play and you don't have to download anything.
There are hundreds of games to choose from, and they're adding new ones daily. There's everything from educational games to old-school arcade-style games and even some that are inspired by your favorite cartoons.
I brought my 6-year-old daughter, Alexis, in to get a second opinion. We played four games: Scooby Doo Word Finder, Penguin Cafe, Neon Invaders, and Incredible Hulk Chitari Takedown. Neon Invaders was my favorite; it had serious Space Invaders vibes.
All of the games we tried were simple. Alexis had no issues with the navigations or controls. Most are controlled by the mouse, but some - like Neon Invaders - use the keyboard.
Alexis had a lot of fun with the four games we played, and I was impressed with the number of educational games they offer. Plays.org has games for literally anyone who likes computer games, even if the only game you've ever played is Solitaire.
The only bad thing I can say about this entire experience is that you might get addicted or find you've wasted your lunch break.
In short, the next time you're bored at the office and need a little pick-me-up or are looking for something harmless to entertain your kids for a little while, head on over to Plays.org. I promise you won't be disappointed.
