San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/27/2012 -- Computer games have traditionally been seen as the sole reserve of the hardcore hobbyist. It is only in the last few years that the world has seen a rise in “casual gamers”, people who don’t have a strong interest in computer gaming but nonetheless enjoy whiling away a few minutes playing them from time to time. This type of gamer usually prefers simple, quick to play web based games, and a number of websites have sprung up to offer this type of gaming experience.

One flash game website that has been getting a lot of attention recently is ArcadesWorld.com, a fully featured online flash gaming portal with a multitude of different engaging games. This site has built a substantial reputation on the back of their exceptionally wide range of free to play flash games.

The site organizes the incredibly vast range of games into broad categories, for ease of access. These categories will be familiar to anyone who is interested in games, such as “simulation”, “action” and “adventure.”

In addition to the categories for users to browse through, ArcadesWorld also features some of their newest games on the home page. There is a small thumbnail screenshot showing the action of each game, and users can click to be immediately taken through to where they can play.

A spokesperson for the site said: “When people think of gamers, they often think of young people with lots of free time, putting in the hours playing sprawling, epic games like Call of Duty and World of Warcraft. However most gamers aren’t like that. There are a sizable majority of people who enjoy playing simple, undemanding games for ten or twenty minutes at a time. For them, a computer game occupies the place that a crossword puzzle might have in the past. It’s not a long, involved experience. It’s just a pleasant diversion, something to do on a break at work or to pass the time. Here at Arcades World, we pride ourselves on being the very best site for this type of player. We have games in a huge variety of different genres. Anyone who is interested in playing flash games online will find something enjoyable to play on our site.”
