Free Online Games

Have some time to kill? Do you have a net connection? Then I am here to help. I'm about to introduce you to four websites which help you kill time with some cool games.

First up, PrizeGames.com where you can play games ranging from poker to solitaire as well as games of skill and memory. The site requires registration, which is free, but then you can play until your brain melts. For an additional charge you can buy game credits which increase your winnings or become a premier player which eliminates you from having to view ads between games.

Second on the list is MSN GameZone. At this site you can play some of the best puzzle games on the web. You can also enjoy some card games and visit the MSN casino. Registration is not required but if you want to post your scores then you have to register. Great for short bursts of time killing.

Third is BoxerJam.com, which has some of the best word games on the net. With crosswords, word jumbles, trivia, and a not so easy matching game you could kill hours if you don't feel absolutely stupid from not knowing the answers. Registration is free and you must register to play.

Finally, Excite Games has some of my favorite games; one that you can't find elsewhere. Some of my favorites include Poppit and Word Whomp. Again registration is require and free.

There you go. Now log on, register, and kill some much wasted free time.
