I was wondering if anyone plays browser games in addition to or instead of your standard computer games. I have found some massively multi-player strategy games that are greatly enjoyable and have unlimited play times. Over the past year I know for fact that I have played these a lot more than any other games. Just wondering if I am the only one here or not, and if any of you guys have suggestions. For one, I really enjoy Ikariam.

Used to play when was little. I hadn't had many games back then. But time went on and now I have a few games on Steam I still haven't launched once after buying. So even if I would enjoy some of the browser games now I wouldn't have time to play them.

I hadn't before but I read something about this game Offensive Combat and tried it, it was not bad. It's a lot like TF2, which was surprising for a browser game.

I used to like some browser game about nukes... I can't recall what it was called since it's been a long time since I played it. Mechwarrior Tactics and Heroes & Generals are going to be browser games so I might like those when they come out. The CnC game is alright, but limited with its F2P nature.

I consider browser games to be things like scramble with friends. Playing anything more intensive is pointless, restricting a game to run within the confines of a browser has a nasty habit of dumbing it down.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I play the hell out of words with friends and scramble, but that's about it. JUST SAY NO TO FARMVILLE. hahaha -
I used to play one browser game full time for about 1-1.5 years, and matching p2p people while I am f2p. But It just take wayyyy to much time for f2p.(second tier ish) The pay to win nature of current games stop me from playing most browser/online game ~~.
The game name is 武林英雄 TW server.
The ultimate end of the server I was playing when everyone lost interest is that one guy is take care of all the top 20 accounts... People just abandon their accounts ~~ even though they spend huge sum of money of it . 1k+ USD was the norm if you try to be top 10-20. -

They are usually so bad I`m angry at myself for wasting my time on them if I ever play one.
Not to even mention I`m being a disgrace to my own computer for playing such lousy graphical games -
Yes, certainly! I'm a big fan of Utopia
Not all games are about graphics. This one for instance is about teamwork (upto 25 players in a team), organization, strategy and tactful execution. -
In a word, no... I tend to prefer either multifaceted strategy games, or games with fast-paced, realistic graphics, and those generally are outside the realm of browser games. The only one I can recall playing more than once is a game about the Swine Flu and trying to stop an epidemic of it a few years back, on which I did 4-5 playthroughs. But it was a lot more strategy-oriented than most browser games I've seen, and reminded me of mid-late '90s desktop strategy games (although it was probably still less in-depth than most of those).
Granted, I'm kind of biased against them. In part because I associate serious games with running on the silicon, not in Flash. In part because I associate browser games with Farmville and other simple, repetitive, grind-style games. In part because more than a few flash-based games rely on appeal in their advertisements (some desktop games do, too, but it seems more common amongst flash-based ones). And in part because the social-style browser games I associate with clogging up the News Feed on Facebook. So it's quite rare that I actually try one to start with. -
I'm playing ogame.org for ... over 3 years now ... Dang, has it been that long really :|
and for some fast action you should try escopetahere's link: http://games.lynms.edu.hk/games/20050207/escopeta.swf

Fat Dragon Just this guy, you know?
I got sucked into a Facebook game for a while - kind've a second-tier title but the top several accounts were either developer plants or they had spent five figures to get where they were. I got suckered for probably about $40 before I discovered that spending money had actually made my account worse due to their superbly lazy coding. It was one of the most idiotic time sinks I've been sucked into and my quality of life noticeably improved when I quit it. Now that I think of it, the same was true for Neopets when it was fairly new, when I was definitely not in college...
I've had plenty of fun with gimmicky little flash games in the past, though. Various flight games and point-and-click adventures can be pretty fun for an hour or two, and Fancy Pants Adventure 2 is one of my favorite platformers; I love the style and feel of the game and it's good for an easy and satisfying experience, whereas I don't have the patience for most of the gimmicky puzzle platformers that come out these days (though the decade-old Gish, granddaddy of many modern physics platformers, is fantastic). -

No they are too dull and shallow.

Had a chance to try the Warface beta and I have to say, browser games are not quite what we thought they were.
This is a Cryengine 3 browser game, actually runs great in Chrome and Firefox. -
