Chocolatier ? The Most Fun you Can Have Without Eating the Chocolate
Topic: Lycos Games
Many of you know that Gamesville has some of the best multi-player games on the Internet – card games, casino games, bingo, puzzle games, and more. Did you know that Gamesville also has downloadable games? My current favorite is Chocolatier. It’s a simulation game – you build your own chocolate empire by buying ingredients, finding new recipes, and selling your gourmet chocolates. The game is really easy to learn, and provides a tutorial to walk you through the steps until you’re ready to play on your own. The only downside is an intense craving for chocolate you’ll have the rest of the day.

Gamesville Winner Update

We're always curious what Gamesville members do with the money they win from free online games like Magic 21 and Frantic Fish. We were lucky enough to get an update on one of our Three-Eyed Bingo winners! Gamesville's Chris Cummings has the update on the Gamesville Blog.

Introducing the New Gamesville!
Topic: Lycos Games

Free Online Games, Wicked Prizes and So Much More

Just in time for spring, Gamesville has a fresh new look worthy of the hottest web site fashion shows (if they existed). It still has the free online games you know and love, and the cash jackpots too, but it has a pretty new face. With a fancy green background and happy little fishes swimming across the top, the new Gamesville exudes fun and frivolity. The re-birth of Gamesville is in celebration of its 11th year of being one of the most popular massively-multiplayer casual gaming destinations on the Internet. For a look at Gamesville through the years, visit the Official Gamesville Blog. They grow up so quickly…

New Community Features

Gamesville has always been a fun, interactive community where people meet to enjoy their fifteen-minute-vacations and chat and compete with other members in free online games. One couple (that we know of!) even met and married after meeting in Gamesville’s Bingo Zone. The new face of Gamesville encourages community-building even more, allowing members to share their favorite jokes, pictures of their pets, and even their best recipes! Daily trivia games add to the fun, as well as customizable avatars that users will soon be able to export for use on their own web sites, blogs, and social networking profiles. Of course the main source of fun is enjoying all the free online games!

Free Online Games = Free Online Fun

All of your favorite free online games – Three-Eyed Bingo, Frantic Fish, and Poker Inferno, to name a few – are still there, they’re just prettier. It’s still free to register, still free to play, and still has real cash jackpots. Basically, it’s all about you. You having fun, you meeting new people, and you being an important part of the Gamesville community. The Gamesville team is hard at work developing new games to satisfy their dedicated gamers – games like the recently released Gamesville-Exclusive free online game Magic 21. For all the news on what’s going on at Gamesville, visit the Official Gamesville Blog.
