My Favorite Online Games

I like online games and I decided to make a list of my very favorite ones. Keep in mind, these are my favorites and might not be your favorites, but they're worth a look! Oh by the way, these are all online broswer games, so no need for download on either one of them!

Number One: Pony Island
This is the best online game I've ever played, so addictive! What you do is, you buy, sell, breed, take care of, compete with beautiful ponies of different kinds and colors. Lots of fantasy ponies! There are EarthPonies, FlutterPonies, Pegasi, FairyPonies, Unicorns, SeaPonies, ShellPonies, MerPonies, DragonPonies, WingedUnicorns, PhoenixPonies, Valkyries, KirinPonies, MerDragons, WishingPonies and PurrPonies! So many different ways to play the game - From simply taking care of whatever pony you think is pretty to breeding and selling ponies of pure breed and excellent colors! Forums full of nice people, contests, art, free ponies, ligh hearted conversations and helpful strangers! There's so much to do and so many ways to play the game!

Number Two: ForumWarz
This is so hilarious! Not for people who are easily offended or don't understand internet humor. This is a browser game based on internet culture, in fact, the game is a parody of the internet itself. You start your journey as a re-re and later can choose if you want to be a camwhore, emo kid, hacker, permanoob, re-re or troll in the game. When you play this game, you should keep in mind, this is a roleplaying game with the theme of internet culture, which means that everyone is playing a rude and crude character which may be more or less based on their real selves, but don't be offended on here, people will randomly act annoying and spew out slurs and even personal remarks, but it's all part of the game, the people here aren't evil in real life... Necessarily.

Number Three: Fay
This game is so much fun! Again, another one of those games where there's lots to do and many different ways to play the game - So you won't be stuck being forced to play the game according to a boring pattern which may not suit you, you can choose your own path and play around as you will! So, what you do here is, you can buy or adopt different kinds of fairies and magical creatures which you take care of. The fairies live in a tree, which you also take care of. Except for those basics, there are so many things you can do! You can have your fairies battle, learn spells, they can be good or evil, perform magic, you can equip them with armour, weapons, wands and spells, play with them, give them presents and feed them lots of delicious food! Also, there are fun games to play where you can earn game-money which can be used to buy food and items and there's a great forum with interesting people and just so many things to do!

Number Four: Pony Valley
Another pony game, apparently there is an English version of the game called Pony Star, but I guess I play the French version in the English version... Or something... I mean, I play the French Poney Vallee game and you can choose the language so I play it in English, but for some reason there is also a separate English version called Pony Star... Confusing. Oh, well. So this is another pony game, it's not as good as Pony Island and there aren't at all as many things to do, but it's another game and it's fun too! The story here is slightly different from PonyIsland and the pony breeds are somewhat different as well. The basic pony breeds are Earth, Air, Water, Sacred Fire, Love and Feline. When you have reached a certain level you can get a special Pegasus pony and then if you finish a mysterious quest you can win the very special and mysterious Pony of the Stars!

Number Five: RuneScape
This is a really fun game and it is suitable for different ages. Some of these medieval-or-something-fantasy-warrior-questing RPG's aren't appropriate for children, but children about ten years or older can easily play this game! Well, maybe not easily, I don't know, but I mean, it's designed so that it will fit younger audiences and not just grownups. It's a browser game, so no download needed, you walk around in a 3D world, a huge 3D world, actually and there is so much to do! So many different kinds of quests you can do and skills you can learn. You could try to really focus your character into becoming something very specific, such as a quester or a cook, but it's really not a commitment, you can just walk around and randomly explore the place and quest or learn skills if you feel like it, you won't lose skills in one area if you focus on another area for a while! You can just explore for a while and then go back to questing or learning skills without losing points!

Number Six: BabyDow
Cute and fun game where you raise babies! You start by designing a baby and giving it a name. Later on in the game you might have more babies. The children will grow and learn new things as you give them snuggly plushies, dress them, change their diapers, give them baths, feed them, read them stories, cuddle them, take them out for strolls, give them toys to play with, let them have naps and tuck them into bed at night. The babies' needs will change as they grow older, a newborn baby might drink maternal milk, wear baby clothes, sleep in a baby bed, play with a rattle and go out in a baby stroller, while a two year old child will eat full meals, wear big kid clothes, sleep in a big kid bed... You get the point. Lots of different toys, clothes, food, furniture and stuff to choose between and the game is quite easy to play!

Number Seven: Fuzz Academy
Now this game is just adorable! Environmentally friendly website that will give you tips on how to take better care of the world. It's not political propaganda or anything, it's just an innocent game that also teaches you how to keep the world beautiful and healthy! You start the game by adopting your own ridiculously cute... Or cutely ridiculous? Your own cute and kind of ridiculous looking - In a really really good way - pet. This pet will now join the academy and study there and you can help it study by playing fun learning games! There are lots of games, some very learn-y and some not so learn-y. You can dress your pet up in cool outfits and you can feed it balishus food. This game is really fun and just stupidly adorable! Those animals sure are awesome!

Number Eight: Moshi Monsters
This site is so cute! It's designed to fit younger kids and is a very innocent and childish little monster world. It does somewhat tell children to spend lots of money on it, as some features require real money - Though it's prefectly fun without a pay account - And your little monster does keep telling you things like "Let's go shopping!" or "You know who I miss? The shop keepers, let's go visit them!" Don't be fooled by this, remember, it's just a game and you don't have to pay anything if you don't want to, there are enough fun features in the free version. And you can earn game-money by playing games so you can still buy stuff for your monster! This monster world is really cute and colorful with a "gross" theme. The monsters eat yucky - Or just funny - food, such as the Eyescream Sundae, Sunshine Berries, Roast Beast and Snail Ale. Such a cute game with adorable cartoon monsters!

Number Nine: Pony Academy
Another pony game. Not quite as good as PonyIsland or Pony Valley, but this one is also definitely worth a look, as there are features in this one that aren't in the other game. In this game, you take care of quite regular looking ponies, though they can have funny colors and hairdos, when you take care of them, it's not just pressing a button, you do everything manually, such as brushing them and washing them. It makes it more realistic and is more fun than just pressing a button! All in all there aren't really a whole lot of things you can do in the game, but there are some different things to choose from. The main part and the most fun is just taking care of your ponies, there are some minigames as well and which ones of those you play, I guess it's up to you what you like.

Number Ten: Mystical Willow Grove
This game is quite messy, it seems to be really under construction, the map is like a maze and and there are so many "coming soon" signs all over the place. Still though, I really like the game. I haven't quite figured it out yet, but it's not so important, I suppose. The theme is mystical and interesting and sometimes that is basically enough. You start the game by adopting one or more magical creatures, your familiars. These, you will take care of, but also they will help you in quests and battle with other creatures. There are some interesting places to explore and some mysterious shops were you can buy food for your familiars and other things. As I said, the map is really confusing and the game doesn't really seem finished yet, but it's interesting enough to just adopt beatuiful magical creatures and buy food for them and that.
