Many games try to push the envelope when it comes to development. They push graphics, they push game play, and they experiment with new ideas.
Most of them suck.
However, I am always very grateful to those developers who are not afraid to experiment with new ideas, to explore new shores and bring us to new areas of game play. For every 10 screw ups we get, we get an idea that works. And that my friends, is evolution. Survival of the species most responsive to change (Incidentally, this is why the Point and click adventure went the way of the dodo).
But sometimes I don’t want to be part of a bold new experiment. Sometimes I just want to play something that I know will not surprise me, that I know has been approved by the masses for years. Something I know is not going to enthral me, but certainly won’t disappoint me. Enter the game of the hour, Tom Clancy’s HAWX.

You like free flash games?
Of course you do. Everyone loves a free flash game, they're absurdly addictive. So, in honor of these free little miracles, here are some places reviewing and listing the best.
Five free games to kill five hours.
A directory of free games including an MMO and a bartender sim! Some of my very favorites.
More Free games.
Another directory, focusing a lot on armor games. Includes warfare 1917, a very interesting RTS set in the first world war.
Kongregate.
If you enjoy free browser and flash games and you've never visited Kongregate, do so now. This site isn't only a huge repository of the best games on the internet, it's also a community featuring chat rooms and achievements!
Do you want to make your own video game?
Sploder is a web tool that will let you make your own very basic games. Why not try it out and post your game here so other people can try it out?
How about making your own JRPG?
Have you ever looked at Final fantasy or Lost Odyssey and thought "I could do better than that?" Well put your money where your mouth is- this is a powerful tool for making your own sprite based RPGs.
Got any other websites you want to share that offer free flash games? Leave a comment!
