www.pogo.com is an online gaming community featuring a large number of
single- and multiplayer games, from old favourites such as solitaire
and poker to newer
games like Poppit and Bump.
The site is
membership only but there are two levels of membership - a
free membership, and 'Club Pogo', which is a subscription only
membership
allowing access to more games, and badges and ranks to show
status within games.
Players earn points for winning games, and these can either be
accumulated, or traded for entries into prize draws, though these are
only open to USA residents. Each
game also has a jackpot which can be
won, but again is only open to Americans.
Free to
play games are categorised into:
*Card & board games (e.g. checkers, chess, dominoes)
*Word Games (e.g. cross word, word whomp, bookworm)
*Freebie Casino Games (e.g. Roulette, Bingo, Poker, Slots, Keno)
*Cash Competitions (e.g. pool, solitaire)
*Puzzle (e.g. Poppit, Zuma, bounce out)
*Sports (e.g. Football, Golf)
*Extreme Sports (e.g. snowboarding)
*Arcade games (e.g. Pool, pinball, basket ball)
The site is simple to navigate, and while most games load easily, at
peak times there may be delays, and some game rooms get full.
Within each game room there is a chat feature allowing interaction with other players.
The paid membership - Club
pogo - allows access to other games, which
are more involved with better graphics and levels. Also, Club Pogo
allows ad-free game play meaning uninterrupted games, and faster
loading.
Badges are awarded upon completion of specific challenges, while
ranks can be acheived by reaching specified scores. Both of these
features add an extra competitive edge to the site.
It is an enjoyable site allowing an escape from work, and a chance to chat to people around the world.
