  So how do you play a game???

  Cons: 10 minutes to install and couldn't even put an icon on the desktop.

  When you start up, there is a very long wait, and then a nag screen that boasts about how their product is so professional, and 2 options. 1)Donate 2)Show me the benefits of donating. Picking number two closes the application. Clicking on this screen, and waiting a very long time, will eventually bring you to the interface. Clicking on the game option here, brings you to there web page. Nothing about playing games here, but there are options on the left column that say Most Popular Games, and Tutorials. Tutorials didn't bring up much information about playing games. Pulling up the list of most popular games does actually bring a list of games up, but about half were not clickable. Clicking on one of these games gave me all kinds of stats and ratings about the game, but no option to download or play anything. (It also pulls up IE, NOT my default browser!) A half hour on this site and I still can't play a simple game. It's not like I'm computer illiterate - I've been working with computers since the late 70's. I don't know how many more hoops to go through to actually play a game, but I'm not wasting any more time finding out. There are hundreds of games here I can play with a handful of obvious clicks. Application uninstalled.

  P.S. - incidentally, add/remove programs reported this thing as taking up 271Megs, and left almost 50Megs of crap after uninstalling. Pretty nifty trick for a 19Meg download.
