Play Full-Version Games for Free Just by Viewing Advertisments

Allana Calhoun
Sites like Yahoo, Popcap, Miniclip, Xengen, and many others offer online games for free. As well, they often have a few downloadable games for free. The full-version downloadable games, however, are very limited. Just about every site that offers the same games will ultimately lead you to the "buy Full-Version for only $19.99" spiel. Although some sites, like Yahoo, are now offering subscription deals where you pay a monthly fee of $6.99 - $9.99 and are allowed to download 1 full-version game each month. The price varies depending on the length of the plan you choose.

Most sites will usually allow you to download at least a trial version of the downloadable games. After all, they want you to figure out if you like the game, then if you do like it, they'll push you to buy it. It's like test driving a car where dealers let you drive a car in the hopes that you'll fall in love with it and buy it. Note that there are several different types of trial versions.

The most common trial version allows you to download and install the game, but then actual gameplay is limited to 60 minutes. (Oh, and by the way, in case anyone gets the inkling to try...you can't fool these trial versions by uninstalling and restoring your computer to a point prior to the install of the trial version. They apparently have very smart programmers who modify the computer's registry in such a way that the information for the trial can't be removed by novice means.) 60 minutes may seem like a decent amount of time, but it sure goes by fast when you are playing the game. Then to have the game quit just when you're on a roll is rather annoying.

The second type of trial version has you download a modified version of the game that looks just like the full-version but has limited features. Because of these limited features you can only get so far into the game before you would need to purchase the full-version to continue.

The third, (and hardest to find), type of trial version is actually where they allow you to download and install the full-version game, but your game will be interrupted about every 5-10 minutes by an advertisement. While the advertisements can be a bit annoying as they seem to pop up right when you're about to do something, and seemingly quite often, they at least allow you to play the full-version game completely free. I say this type is the hardest to find because you can't tell it is this type of trial version until you download and install it. When there are hundreds of games available on a site, it gets quite tiresome installing a trial versions trying to find one that is free with ads.

I have excellent news however, because I found a site that offers all of it's games as full-version downloads with ads. That's right, all of them. No installing and hunting for the ones that are free with ads, each and every game is Free with ads. It has many of the same games that the other sites offer with the key difference being that these are free to play the full-versions, just put up with the advertisements.

Try it out and have fun!
