Kongregate

Kongregate is a casual gaming social network where gamers can gain ranking and earn awards. The site allows developers to upload their games and share in revenues (25-50%) from the ads displayed around the games. Kongregate promotes developers to upload new games by having “game of the week” contests.

Kongregate pays skilled developers between $20,000-80,000 to create premium games to provide their community with quality games. Each premium game comes with a free version that can be upgraded to paid premium version.

Competitors include Miniclip.

Really Great Site. Makes games worth Playing! And also fun talking to new People!

What I love most about this website is how smooth everything loads. Rather than constantly changing pages, Kongregate offers a load-on-screen feature that keeps lagging to a minimum. Overall a fantastic site which I am sure will grow exponentially over the years. Kongregate is also renowned for its community, something you do not find on many other gaming sites (Unless you want to get cussed out at Newgrounds.com). By far the #1 Gaming Site on the Web. Kongregate is the place to be.

They have a great system, and another good site that seems add the best ones from Kongregate, and tons of other sites is http://www.ornigo.com.

Sure, some of the chatrooms are a little rough around the edges, but many are a fantastic place to have discussions about nearly anything with semi-intelligent people. Rooms I'd suggest are the Indigenous Kumquat Research Center, The River, and my homeroom, the Cookie Kingdom. :)

I can honestly say that Kongregate has a great system, and wonderful people. Some of the chatrooms are a poor experience though, so jump around a bit and find what you're after in people to talk to.
