Nowadays it’s tough to find good, independent and fun games, especially on a tight budget. What with flashy shooters such as Call of Duty or Battlefield, often the simpler games go forgotten; games that allow you to sit down and play without being assaulted by a cacophonous slew of explosions and flashing lights. And so I present to you Jay Is Games, a website which finds, filters and reviews free, quality games for the casual gamer. Unlike other websites, the games presented on Jay is Games are safe for work and home. The games are also virus and malware free. Upon entering the aesthetically appealing website, you are presented with the featured game review for that day. Off to the side, you can choose from your favorite saved games, or scroll through the top rated and recommended game choices. Most of the video games run simply on Flash or Java, both of which are free, and are usually already installed on your computer. If, however, you wish to play games without the use of an internet connection, there is also a section on the top bar where you can peruse various downloadable games. Included amongst the variety of games genres presented overall are:
- Escape the Room games
- Puzzle games
- Adventure games
- Hidden Object games
- Strategy games
- Shooter games
- Platform games
- Point-and-Click games
- Action games
- Simulation games
There is even a section for mobile gaming, so even whilst you are on your cell phone, you can waste ungodly amounts of time on a series of bits and bytes that mean essentially nothing more in the grand scheme of things than to provide you with fleeting entertainment. If you are anything like me when playing puzzle games, you might get stuck. If so, fear not, for there are in-depth staff- and reader-provided walkthroughs to either guide you by the hand or provide you with subtle hints to get you going on your way.
Happy Gaming!
