What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this game portal is full of ads, ads disguised as games, and links to content that's not appropriate for its purported audience.
What's it about?
Luring players with popular characters like Polly Pockets and Barbie, GIRLGAMEZONE.COM offers a huge range of girls' favorite games. But beware, none of these games actually exist on the site -- and clicking on the ads and links leads to content that's not appropriate for young girls. Clicking on the game links can bring up a barrage of images selling goods, take girls to other web sites, or bring up pages full of Google Ads, some of which can lead to pornographic content after a few clicks.
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.
What families can talk about
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?

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.
