Over at the Free Video Games Project, some news to announce with the release of an awesome free Flash version of Frogger.

If you used to like playing Frogger in the arcades back in the 80's this site's for you. As with all video games from the Project this version is easy to play, no download required, in full screen, and is refreshingly clear from annoying ads and commercial messages. It's also got a cool url - freefrogger.org!

We hope it will prove a popular addition to the current stable of games which includes Tetris, Pacman, Space Invaders and Sonic the Hedgehog.

Over 100,000 people a month can't be wrong!

Here at WorldTV we like to let off some steam occasionally and play video games - classic arcade games like Tetris, Pacman, Space Invaders usually. We're particularly fond of flash games but most of the flash gaming sites are filled with ads and annoying smiley 'oh my god!' pop unders which quite frankly are way over the top and which leave very little space on the screen for the actual game. We thought there had to be a better way...

A while back we began supporting something pretty amazing called the Free Video Games project which aims to bring free full-screen flash versions of old classic video games in a predominantly non-commercial setting. Ads, if any, are minimal and each game is hosted on its own easy to remember domain.

Here's the games the project has come up with so far...

Tetris
Pacman
Space Invaders
Sonic the Hedgehog

The Free Video Games Project will have more games coming over time, so do leave your e-mail address at the main project site.

Enjoy!

Lots of people like to play tetris online - I know this for a fact. Free Tetris is a site we help support and its growth over the last few months has been phenomenal. Where are most of the Tetris players in the world? America. What kind of people like to play Tetris online the most? US office workers!

I know this because the other day I watched game players over the course of a few hours from 9am Eastern to about 5pm Pacific. The results were pretty clear. As soon as the office lights came on in the east, the play begins. The numbers grow until a peak around Noon when the West coast workers start their day. It's clear a lot of people are skiving off work playing Tetris!

Anyway, if you fancy a free simple game of classic Tetris check out FreeTetris.org. No download is required, it's all done brilliantly in flash by master games artist Paul Neave.

P.S. If I have time tomorrow I'll try to create a little animation of the map of users as it sweeps across the continent.
