    WildTangent - does that sound familiar? If you bought a new HP, Dell, Toshiba, Gateway or Lenovo PC recently it might since their games and download client likely came pre-installed. We look at WildTangent's Orb game client and see if it is worth using.

    This is actually a pretty good service. While most of these games are not ones that I would play for any great length of time, they are fun and my children really enjoy them. The subscription service actually works out pretty well for us as we get 50 coins per month and I tell my children when they run out they are out and have to wait until a new batch of coins comes in next month. When this happens they usually go play something else or will sample a free game or two.
