After several great years of being partners, AOL games and Pogo are ending their relationship. It has been an outstanding partnership and we're aware that our players have been a part of the two sites for years. We appreciate all the great fun and friends people have made while playing and want to make sure the transition is smooth.

The change was made due to both sites goals changing and the need for each site to go it alone. With the transition there are a ton of questions. With the unknowns we've set up a Frequently Ask Questions section for the AOL Games/Games.com//Pogo.com transition.

Please review the following for more information on the changes coming to both sites

Ever love something so much that you just had to tell everyone about it? Only to have people not "get it"? That is how I feel about this next group of games.

These games are my hand picked favorites that you should be playing on Games.com.

'99 Bricks' is a riff of the casual game classic Tetris. In '99 Bricks' your job is to build the highest possible tower with 99 Tetris blocks. '99 Bricks' retains the simplicity of Tetris while adding new elements like physics to the game pieces. I cannot recommend this game more!

I love 'Papa's Pizzeria!' I love pizza so why wouldn't I love it! In 'Papa's Pizzeria' you play a young man who is left in charge of Papa Louie's pizzeria. You have to take orders, place toppings and manage the store while Papa is away.
With a great tutorial there is no WAY you will not love this pizza shop time management game

As a man of Latino decent dominoes is part of our culture. When I began testing All Fives Dominoes I was excited to play. Dominoes delivered in spades - high quality play, beautiful art and endless replay value.
If you're not entirely familiar with Dominoes, All Fives should be your entry point to a whole new world of play.

It seems like 2,000 Match 3 (Bejeweled type) games come out a day. However, it's not every day that an AWESOME one comes out. 'Germz' is a cute little match 3 game that ratchets up the difficulty level. If you think you have match 3 skills, zapping Germz is going to be your test.

OMG! 'Death vs. Monstars' what a game! While off the beaten path of our normal games, this arcade shooter is simple and compelling. You play 'Death' and are taking on an ON-SLAUGHT of Monstars! I love this game and if you are looking for mindless shooting then this is your game!

It has been a while since we launched one of our great free online games. It is has been tough to get games out with all the issues that we've had. However, I am happy to announce that we have a plan!

We expect in the next month or so to get a new game out into beta AND release two of our games that have been in beta for months now.

So what's coming? Here goes.

- Keno Beta.
The classic parlor game and the machine version are on the way. You'll be able to play on your own or in a room sharing the same Keno balls as everyone else. The games so good looking and we're dying to get this game out. (I have said this for nearly a month now, but it's finally looking good)
-Canasta and Cribbage
These two games are currently in beta and have been tested thoroughly. Our regular game players know, the game has gone through many changes as it's been in beta. We're getting close to getting them both out with all the necessary bells and whistles. Over the months, I am happy to say that I have actually learned how to play Canasta and love it.

-Snaggable Game Lists
While not normally something we have on the site, you're going to see a lot of more of this sort of content. Basically, its a little tiny website that you can take wherever you are on the web. If you have a web site thats yours or a personal blog anything where you control the content of the site, you'll be able to take your favorite games with you.

-Checkers Beta
Yes, you heard right. Checkers is coming to games.com. I've seen the game and it's wonderful. I can't say exactly when it will come out but it is in the pipeline. We're really excited about checkers and believe it will immediately become the best free online checkers game on the web.

-Stability issues.
As many of our regular game players know the last 30 days have not been our best. You can all expect a more stable system in the coming weeks. Our issues need to be repaired and the games need to be stable.

-Moderation
We have some moderation issues with some games. I'll be working with the Community Action Team to discuss what can be done and how we can do it. It's our goal to make our game space safe and fun to play on.


- WHAT YOU SAY!
One of the reasons for this particular post is that I would love to hear feedback from the community on what you think should be the priority for us? Do you want us to focus on more games? On stabilizing the site? What is the most important thing to you on games.com?

This blog has been out for a couple of months and we have a growing community here. I want to thank everyone who reads the blog and those who have posted comments. The Games.com News is something I fought to have put on games.com and I am excited to see that it is growing on a monthly basis.

To help those who are here for the first time, I present my first best of Games.com News!
