Shockwave Review

I visit Shockwave.com on a monthly basis to check out what new Free games they have as well as to download Free trials.  Shockwave is a great site to play various types of games with categories such as Puzzles, Arcade, Sports, Strategy and Word Games, there is something for everyone!

How it works is quite simple, go to the site and find a game to play!  The truth is, I always go straight to the "online games" link because those games are free to play and don't need to be downloaded.  After I get bored with those games, I go ahead to the Download section and download some free trials.  Free trials can be played for an hour which is usually enough  for me to have fun. 

You can then purchase the games if you want to play them longer or get to higher levels.  You can also get a subscription plan to play all the games unlimited.  I, however, choose not to do this.  Although I've been tempted many times to start paying for the games, I always talk myself out of it since there are enough free games to keep me busy.  Plus, I have this trick where I download the free trial on my computer and my husbands computer so I get to play them all twice :)  Maybe if I had more time on my hands, I'd talk myself into a subscription. 

The games are fun for all ages and really help you use your brain!  You'll see racing games, old arcade games, and more, but my favorite games are usually the strategy or adventure ones that really make you think.  Most games only take a few minutes to learn and after that you can come back whenever you are bored to play them again.  Visit Shockwave.com any time you have even 30 minutes of boredom because it can keep you busy and keep your mind going.  Enjoy!!
