Get Your Game On

WildGames Game Console (www.wildgames.com/console)
With hundreds of free sites for playing casual games, it's easy to lose track of the ones you like. The WildGames Game Console, free downloadable software, allows you to search for games, download and organize them, and play them for free (with ads) or for a small charge (without ads).

MapleStory (www.maplestory.nexon.net)
Some massively multiplayer online games charge fees to play, like Blizzard's World of Warcraft, which costs $15 per month on top of the cost of the software. MapleStory is free to download and play—but if you want new clothes for your avatar or other extras, it might cost you.

Habbo Hotel (www.habbo.com)
A virtual world aimed at teens, Habbo Hotel lets users customize their Habbo, or avatar, as well as their Habbo Home for free. Revenue comes from in-world advertisers like Coca-Cola, Nike, Procter & Gamble, and Sony PlayStation.
