MoFunZone is a free site for many different kinds of video games. The site gets a new game about every two days. They're then sorted into 88 alphabetized categories.

Some of the many games are given a warning, "Warning:Mature content." I usually don't play those games—not because I shouldn't, but if it's that rating, then it's just stupid. If it's that violent, it has really no idea or reason to play.

Some of the games don't work on some systems. One of my favorites got an update that made it only work on PC (I have a mac :-( ). And some need some flash update or some cookie or whatnot, but very few need much more than a computer and a mouse to play.

This is a site that gives advantages to people who have an account. You don't need one, but it's nice to have one. In some games there are achievements. Say you're playing a shooter, get 30 hits without missing one. That might be worth two or three points. If you get that and you have an account, then you get points, which are added to your class in the site (like newbie, veteran gamer, commander gamer, and so-forth). I'm still newbie and I have 595.75 points, but apparently that's not that many.

There's also favoriting, pretty straight forward, just click the button, and it goes into your favorites, easily accessible (another thing you need an account for). There's another useful feature, (this you don't need an account for), called "games I played," which shows the last eleven games you've played, for the mere purpose of, "Wait, what was that game called again?" or, "What was that game i wanted to show my friend?"

I guess that sums up the site. Overall I like it. Here are my favorites:

• Endless War: Defense
  
• Phosphor
  
• Desktop Armada
  (This is the one that didn't work for me, if it works for you play it, it was incredibly fun while it lasted.)
  
• Endless War 3
