Well I totally agree. But we also have to be realistic about the can of worms that it opens for the administrators in putting flash games into these sites.

Just out of interest, what would be the equivalent of Giant Bomb for flash games? Is there one? Perhaps somebody ought to make one?

I guess that's the reason there aren't any listings sites - just shoving the actual games on the site is much better. That's all cool for playing games, but not for writing about them. I think it's an interesting gap in the market.

This is the reason we don't have flash games on Giant Bomb:

"Yeah, we currently don't want browser-based games on the site. This may change down the line, but you're exactly right in that we have to draw the line somewhere and at the moment there doesn't seem to be enough interest in this category to warrant giving them their own section. Additionally, our games/releases taxonomy is currently setup to primarily handle commercial products.

I think the other key thing is that we'd never want to have every Flash game on the site. The barrier to entry is so low there that it would just lead to us having a ton of bedroom developers cluttering up the site with links to the games they've made. Until there can be a meaningful distinction between quality Flash-based products and "DUDE CHECK IT OUT I MADE ASTEROIDS EXCEPT WITH BUTTS INSTEAD OF ROCKS," we'd be biting off more than we could chew with that stuff.

We also don't want any BBS door games or standard cell phone games, for the record.

If you want to pimp your AWESOME GRAFIX FLASH GAEM go to newgrounds.com >_>

Link us to the actual game so we can rip it apart plx :)

Edit: Found it!

Not as bad as I expected. Still pretty bad though. You want this on GB? :S

The 3D models you used to make the sprites are actually nice though, if you made those yourself.

Flash games = free games = you don't need reviews, screenshots, information for them, you can just go try them and find out.

Aww nuts... I was just about to ask this question and I can totally see why Jeff and the GB crew don't really need them here.

I feel I have to report my entry for The Caverns of Hammerfest then to have it removed. Who do I get in touch with? Got me some 934 points for that too, lol.

This guy is a troll, isn't he?

Newgrounds is easily the site to go to for Flash Games.

Because people can play flash games for free. The main reason sites like this exist is to inform gamers if a game is worth the money.

newgrounds.com is the best source for flash games and movies. they have ratings, top games of the day and week, plus they just added achievements.

I used to go on addictinggames.com when I was in middle school to play flash games.

I'd guess most of the other sites you mentioned have similar reasons. "

Yeah but you could have the exact same of games on iPhone but they would be acceptable. "

The iPhone is a closed platform. Apple have a strict approval process for apps on the iPhone. it is completely different to Flash games, when anyone can put together a crappy game and bungle it onto the interweb. "

Yes, Apple have a very strict process. They only let gems like SimStapler, iMilk and iFart through there rigorous checking of quality. I'm not saying all flash games deserve a place but many of them do just as much as many iPhone apps and way more then the crappy ones I mentioned. How does it make sense that games like Line Rider aren't worthy of a wiki if they were just a flash game (which it was originally) but when it becomes an iPhone game it's suddenly good enough. It shouldn't be the the platform which makes any one game good it should be the game itself. "
