Kongregate - The YouTube/XBL of Flash Games (Totally Awesome) ...Plus, the Best Flash

Kongregate

Quote:

"Founded in 2006 and currently in a state of heavy development, Kongregate seeks to create the leading online hub for players and game developers to meet up, play games, and operate together as a community.

By wrapping user-submitted Flash games with various community features, Kongregate's site serves as a unique way for users to play great web-based games alongside friends. Anyone can add their own games to Kongregate's library in a process that's fast and simple.

Kongregate operates with an understanding of how difficult it can be for talented game developers - from the aspiring gamesmith to the independent studio - to get the recognition and compensation that they deserve. That's why Kongregate shares microtransaction and advertising revenue with contributing developers, who retain the full rights to their games."

I just started using Kongregate a couple months ago, and I love it. It's like all the best flash games that you find scattered around the internet all compiled into one place, with an incentive to play them, and achievements that I actually care about getting! Getting badges is what keeps me coming back.

Now, onto the best, most addicting flash game I've ever played.. Dolphin Olympics 2. It's so simple, yet so addicting. Try it out, even if you don't feel like signing up for the site. My personal best is 1,525,956, but I know that I could do better than that. :p

If you do sign up, I'd appreciate it if you signed up under me.. so I could get some points. :p If not, that's okay. Still add me as a friend if you don't!

Other great games on Kongregate (you may have played some of these on other sites already):

Fancy Pants - A great platformer.
Fancy Pants 2 - A continuation of the awesomeness.
Desktop Tower Defense 1.5 - It's a great tower defense game, what more needs to be said?
Music Bounce - A fun music/block game.
Portal: The Flash Edition - Portal in 2D.
Sprout - My personal favorite.
Grid16 - WarioWare-esque game.
Sonny - Turn-based RPG.
Gravitee - Gravity-based golf.. in space. Awesome.
Stormwinds 1.5 - A fun "old school" flash game. Try it out.
Platform Racing - Online racing.. on platforms!
You Have to Burn the Rope - ;)

...And here are a ton more games with achievements and badges to unlock.

So, what are you waiting for? Sign up and go play!
