YoYo Games is a community for game lovers and developers.
This site acts as a directory for games that have been created and uploaded by users. It doesn’t look like games are reviewed by YoYo Games prior to their being available on the site, which is somewhat surprising. You can search for games by tag word or genre, and viewing a game profile gives you the basic info about the game, related games, other games by the creator, ratings, reviews and comments. You can also take a game badge to embed on your blog, or social networking profile, like MySpace, hi5, Piczo, etc. Most importantly, you can download the game to play on your computer.
You cannot, however, play the game online. Unlike Kongregate, YoYo Games is a directory more than anything else. Adding the ability to upload a video along with the game description could help others know more about the game without having to download it first. It’s also done well to offer resources for the game developers, such as forums and downloadable software, to help users make their own games. In this sense, YoYo Games offers most of its value by way of game developers.
