Game Point
Fun for everyone

www.gamerevolt.com is a games website that you just cannot get tired of. The site features old time favourites such as Tetris and games with new twists such as Muay Thai, a fighting game based on Thai martial arts. You can choose from over 1,900 action, adventure, arcade, puzzle, shooting, sports, strategy and role playing games. There is something here for everybody. The games are rated and ranked by popularity, and have comments. Since there are so many games, you are likely to find a new game each time you visit the site.

For the fighting fans there is Cow Boxer, a sports game in which you are a mean-looking cow having a boxing match with other mean-looking cows. For the mental puzzlers Rickshaw Jam makes you move cars and other vehicles out of a traffic jam so that the auto rickshaw can make its way across the screen.

For those of you who like restaurants, HK Cafe is a great game to know what it’s like to work in one. You are the manager in a cafe, where you have to take the orders of customers, go to the kitchen, cook and then serve the food before the customers get angry. If you serve uncooked food, you will lose points. If you wait too long, the customer starts shouting and you lose points.

Gamerevolt is a good site to pass time, no matter what kind of games you like. However, the site has one major disadvantage. There are no multi-player games, so you cannot play with your friends. They are planning to add multi-player games soon. To interact with your friends there is a chat forum on the site. However, this feature is not very easy to use. Also, the games here do not have as good graphics as some of the other major sites like Yahoo! Games (games.yahoo.com), and most of the games are extremely simple. There are a small number of tough games such as Global Domination. The simplicity of the site is its strength because the games load very fast and are extremely addictive. Some of the other sites like miniclip (http://www.miniclip.com) take time to load and sometimes do not open at all.

Gamerevolt.com does not require registration to play games. But you will need to complete the free registration to use the advanced features such as ratings, chat, comments, keeping track of your favourite games, and scores. The advantage of gamerevolt.com is that you can find many classic games such as Sonic the Hedgehog.

But the site is not just about fun and games. There are also educational games like Geography that tests your knowledge of the countries of the world. The site has a community of over one lakh gamers, and new games are added all the time. What will really make it a top destination is an improved site design and multi-player games.

Special requirements: Macromedia Flash (free download), free registration to access advanced features of the site
