IWin.com Homepage
IWin.com is a website that offers hundreds of downloadable games for kids to play. These games take only minutes to download and are available for FREE(most for a limited time). The genres of games include hidden object, time management, action, board/card, game show/word, match 3, puzzles, and online party. There is even a section specifically for free games. What I found most appealing about this website is that you are able to play a 60 minute free trial for most of the games. I like being able to try out a game before I commit to the purchase, nothing worse than buying a dud game.
Turtle Odyssey
In my lengthy time spent playing and exploring this website, one game I really enjoyed was Turtle Odyssey. This game is an adventure type game featuring a little turtle named “Ozzy”. As Ozzy you navigate your way through 8 episodes which include a number of sub-levels. The objective is for you to collect coins and diamond jewels while doing your best to avoid obstacles like evil octopus. You must collect all of the diamond jewels to open the door at the end to complete the level. The heart on the bottom right corner of the screen shows your life and the blue circle in the left corner shows your oxygen level. Both of these must be kept from being completely empty or your journey can’t proceed. You can refill both by finding bottles filled with either air or hearts at different points throughout the game. This game is a fun nonviolent adventure for your child. I played this game on its free 60 minute trial, but if you really enjoy the game there is the additional option to buy.
Vacation Mogul
The second game that I thought was worth mentioning was called Vacation Mogul. This was a time management based game. The background story to this game is that your distant uncle has passed away and left you and your sister his millionaire island home. As the story unfolds you come to realize that something was fishy about your uncle’s passing and your sister also goes missing. It’s your job to find out what happened! In addition to solving a mystery you are also a real estate mogul developing vacation spots. Each level within the game has specific tasks and time limits to building hotels, motels, shops and other attractions. This game definitely requires multi-tasking skills as many steps go into building and maintaining resort areas, such as hiring workers, getting building materials, constructing buildings, upgrading and repairing sites, and researching for new developments. This game is great because it has no time limit for the free play. Once you download this game you can play for as long as you like. The only downfall it seems would be the amount of advertising. After almost every level it seemed there was a break for a commercial advertisement. Once again if you do purchase this game the advertising has been removed.
So, if during your exploration of IWin.com a game does catch your fancy a couple of options are available for permanent ownership. An All Access Pass entitles you to unlimited play of a number of online downloadable games as well as 24 hours of offline play time for each for a monthly fee of $9.99. The second payment option is Club Iwin which for a $6.99 montly fee gives you discounted game purchases. The third payment option is a a direct buy with no membership needed for the games at retail prices generally $9.99 each.
