Online Gaming Websites

For some, the intensive experiences found in dedicated video game consoles, PC games that must be downloaded, or even mobile apps may be too much. Either the person might not have the time or ability in certain situations to access these types of experiences. That’s where websites such as Kongregate and Newgrounds come into play. These websites offer simple games that can be played within the modern web browser of your choice, providing addictive gameplay loops without the need to download a huge amount of content or invest a significant portion of time into progression.
