Gamesplaza has a web site to sell Flash games. The good thing about this site is that you can go thre from your phone and directly install Flash games on your cell phone. I have not tried this myself on the phone, but rather I tried from PC and was able to load games in the browser (but could not play because some keys must be mapped to cell phone keys). Check it out here.

So I go to Walmart (of all stores) to buy a new game for Wii for my 10 year old nephew(Not that I am a serious gamer, but for some reason waiving my arms in front of TV to play Wii gives me great joy!). Of the 100s of games out there, we finally settle on couple. We come home and find that the games are total dud- not much can be changed in the background and there aren’t many options either. So he is upset that I got him a ‘bad’ deal(being a computer geek and everything he thinks I know everything about everything ;). Then it dawned on me that I should have spent some time researching on Gamestop or Testfreaks to find what people are saying about the game before purchasing. I can not return that game as the box is now open. So I am stuck with a game that he probably won’t play again and a bill of cool $39.99 (not to mention upset nephew)…. Lesson learned!
