Editor's Rating (4/5)

WildGames features games from WildStudios, an industry innovator in online games. The company has produced top-sellers such as "Fate," "Blasterball," and "Polar Bowler" and has won numerous awards for its clever games.

The WildTangent Game Console used on WildGames is a free desktop application that allows for the efficient discovery, download, and installation of hundreds of games. Players can try most of the games for free with no time limit and no game level or feature restrictions.

In order to continue to play a game after a player has used up all his or her free sessions of that game, the player can either purchase the game outright or purchase a “WildCoins” plan. These plans give players “WildCoins” that they can use to play the games that they like for one session. WildCoins sessions give players full, unrestricted access to all game levels and features and do not have time limits (the session will end if play stops for 45 consecutive minutes). Every 2 WildCoins spent playing a game will give players a 25¢ credit towards the purchase of that game, up to 50% off its price.

Players who want to purchase games will find that most games are priced reasonably at $19.95. Players can download the game and start playing immediately. If a player wants a backup CD with the game on it, the player pays only $7.95 shipping and handling. WildGames special offers rotate all the time. They feature $5 off coupons for games, and game multi-packs for reduced prices (such as 4 games for $40 or 10 games for $90).

The WildGames community features a place for players to post their top scores, forums for players to discuss friends, challenge other players, and trade tips, and support via FAQ or email. Site visitors can choose to send any of the games on the site or special offer packages as a gift.

With ample opportunity to test all of the games before you purchase one, downloading the WildGames console is a no-brainer! Start downloading games to find your favorites today.
