Our reviews staff is very small, and we can currently not keep pace with retail games, let alone freely downloadable games.

Thank you...

I now have a new hobby.

I can't pass up the opportunity for free stuff. Let's face it. It's infinitely cheaper to get something for free than it is to buy it. But the downside to all is that you get what you pay for, and a virtual free acquisition is worth virtual nothing. Or is it?

There's a certain category of games that exist out there that Gamespot is not reviewing or even acknowledging. And this is passing up opportunities. That category is Larger Free - Games, and the opportunities are flagging bad games and bringing attention to the actual good ones.

Notice the bold "Larger". Most free on-line games are small, and have a very small amount of replay ability; for each player, the game starts and ends no more than once. I'm bringing attention to the FOGs that require a substantial investment of time. I'm talking about the one that have a large development team behind it. I'm talking about games like "Maple Story". I'm talking these free on-line games that are popping up that with a whole slew themes being anything for Gorgeous Goddesses to Pimping Your Crack, using medium like Flash or their own custom application?

Why are these games not being reviewed? I'd like to know what these games are like before I get into, that way I know not to waste time on the few of the bad ones that show up.
