It looks like you need to create a yahoo account first and then a yahoo games account. [ul] [li]Are there any hidden fees or is it free?[/li][li]Will they infect me with adware and useless cycle eating toolbars?[/li][li]Are the games passable brainless fun?[/li][li]Are there any good games?[/li][/ul] We use to have shockwave but they went downhill over the years, I am looking for an alternative. For myself I prefer turn base strategy games or resource gathering and building games which are similar. My wife is happy with Zuma style games. ---
