Advantages: Lots of fun games, play for free or for real money

Disadvantages: Very busy at night time, wait times are annoying

King.com is one of hundreds of game sites on the internet now. The only difference is that King.com is one of the best, along with Pogo. I go on King maybe once or twice a day, mainly during the daytime when it's not so busy. It's easy to sign up and only takes a couple of minutes. You can make your own personal profile and create a little avatar, a mini you!

- The Site -

There are just under 100 free games each of which is split into various categories ;

Bingo : (This section of the site is only available for people who have upgraded to a 'Royal' account.

Puzzle Games : Lots to choose from here, games like Bejewelled, Jungle Bubble & Deal or No Deal.

Action Games : Zuma, Luxor, Carnival Shootout and lots more great action games.

Word Games : There's only a few word games but they're all great fun. There are 2 multiplayer games, Quiz Queen and Word Battle. Each of these games can be played with up to 4 players at one time, those other players will be other King.com members.

Card Games : Games like Solitaire, FreeCell, Pyramid, Hearts and loads more, the card games are great fun!

Strategy Games : There's quite a few strategy games, and lots of multiplayer action with Ludo, Yahtzee and even Chess!

Sport Games : Even more multiplayer games including darts, 8-ball pool, 9-ball pool, bowling and lots more.

As you can see there's lots to choose from! The more games you play the more goodies you get. Each time you participate in games it gives you an amount of 'jewels' you could win. The more games you play the more jewels you can get, and the more jewels you get the more things you unlock for your gaming experience, like unlocking new items for your avatar or unlocking various things like chat etc. There's lots of fun stuff to unlock through your time playing on King.com.

- So What's The Site Like? -

You can play for free or you can sign up to be a 'Royal Member' with a small deposit of around £10 I believe. I cannot comment too much on what the Royal Membership does as I always play for free, but all I know is that you can participate in tournaments and games and play for real money.

One of the major downsides to the site is that it gets very busy at certain times of the day. You can find from between 7-10pm that the site is extremely busy, and you'll have to wait a couple of minutes to join a lot of games. I try not to go on the site at this time of night and normally go on Pogo instead, at least when Pogo is busy it doesn't affect your game play and you can get onto a game straight away.
I'm not being biased as I love both sites, I think a lot of the games are so much better on King but it's just disappointing when you want to play those games but have to wait so long to do so because of the busyness of the site.

The site always recommends that to cut out queues and waiting times between games/tournaments that you upgrade to a Royal account, but I'm not really one for spending money on game sites so I guess I'll just have to put up with the waiting.

I'd recommend anyone to give King.com a go, especially if you have any spare time during the day. There are so many games, all of which are great quality especially graphically. There's something for everyone, whether you love your card games, or prefer a bit of action or a good puzzle game to rack the brain. There's really lots to choose from. All of the games vary in difficulty, and there's games that even kids could play, the site is user friendly and the members on there are even friendlier.

Like I've said the only downside to the site is the busyness at night, other than that it's a fantastic site! What are you waiting for? Get gaming!!
