My Tribe, it’s a Facebook game by Big Fish Games that I helped to make. It’s a next-gen FB game, looks more like a downloadable casual game than a flash game.

I played RuneScape for years, and still check in for a few minutes or hours each week. It’s definitely played right in the browser, though it’s more heavyweight than flash minigames out there.

Vanthia is a pretty cool project that I’ve been beta testing since sometime last year. Unfortunately it is currently stagnating but I’m keeping my eye on it; I think it got off to the right start, the developer has some good solid ideas about what he wants from it, and I have a feeling it will really be something in a year or two. Just wait. ;)

I tend to avoid flash minigames though, they don’t really appeal to me. And Facebook games are typically spammy and annoying; I use Facebook to catch up with friends and share photos but I think games need to move to a separate place. I’m sure someone out there can create the “Facebook of games”, but Facebook is not it.

Hi!

I really like Evony and Ikariam. Omerta was the first web browser game I played!

Now I play Castle Age on facebook… and yes, I already spent few bucks on these…

@Dave: okay. sounds like they need to do some changes.

@Alex: graphics seemed cool.. ;)

@laurent: conartists sure have done some great flash games. Warfare games are cool too.

@Katherine: eh… well, sounds pretty familiar.

I pay in the form of whatever Kongregate is calling their proprietry money (I always think it is “Kongs” but then I remember that that isn’t it…) I spend this “money” solely on donating to a few games that I really like (and that seems like hardly anyone else will donate to, so not the big successes like Gemcraft). I also have disabled my adblocker on Kongregate, though I don’t click the ads, and if they started having lots of annoying flashy ones I’d probably turn it back on.

Nope though I usually never hang around that much. They sure knows how to make it tempting in Lord of Ultima. Basically since the game is so slow the upgrades are allowing to make it less painful, send more orders and such.

But then again I’ll probably get bored before getting to the point of spending money. Seems like nothing’s happening and if something was to happen (player attacking me) just getting back units would take so much time that I’m not sure I’d be able to remain “in the mood of war” for long.

Wow I forgot about Urban Dead, I was really into it for about two months.

Strongly recommend Kingdom of Loathing, great sense of humor and lots of fun.
