What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about the tactics used by advertisers to get users to click on their ads. Do your kids know clicking on Google Ads puts money in the pocket of the ad host? How do your kids' favorite web sites make money -- do they sell ads, subscriptions, or use another method?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
Because this game portal site does not host games, there's a high potential for would-be players to get lost on the Web and discover inappropriate content. Most links take kids to web pages full of Google Ads promoting something, for example: "Casino Games" (hotels, gambling) or "Girl Sites" (dating, porn). Sexual content and web sites with violent games are just a few clicks away. For girls who love games, there are lots better choices.

Bad site!!!
There are a ton of ads, and the layout is very annoying. I found it difficult to get around the site. I also couldn't tell which links were spam, and which were just part of the site. There were games that I did not approve of at all, such as Ouija Boards.

sucks plain and simple
Its bad like the sites messy its confusing to get around and i dont know where these porn site comments are coming from but there is no porn just alot of virtual world stuff like sexual though and there are ads and you have to go through alot just to get to one game so save yourself the trouble and just banned the website from your kids computer just so you won't have to deal the idiotic behavior from it and if your computer can handle it it will go slow which isnt good because that makes your computer acceptable to viruses spyware and alot that unecessary unwanted stuff

Ok Games Site
Ok games directory with reviews and links to other games sites. My niece (age 12) goes on it often for the arcade and virtual world trials. Confusing to get around. Quite a big games directory with content for all ages, so not specifically aimed at little kids. Like most websites, if you follow links, you'll end up on other sites. But overall this website seems safe (site links, and a few flash ads, labelled "ads" are mostly for other games related sites) Has alot of good games for kids and teens, so my review is favourable.
