A Review of Pogo.com
If you haven’t visited yet, Pogo.com is an excellent site for those interested in gaming. The uses are extensive, depending on your purpose, and there is the chance of winning money. An interesting and eclectic community exists at this site, with the added chat feature to any of your gaming rooms so that you can choose to converse with other gamers from around the world, or concentrate on your own game, as you prefer.
Many professionals find their day largely filled with computer use and occasionally dabbling at a game here and there can break the monotony and help with concentration when they get back to the task at hand. Famous writers have admitted to gaming when stuck on particularly hard spots in their work, as have executives and employees alike; though it’s probably not advisable to do so within eyeshot of your boss.
Pogo.com offers Club Pogo, a pay service that allows members to use unlimited games that are not offered to the free players. Another benefit of the pay service is that these users can create their own icon or avatar and skip the advertisements and pop ups that non fee paying members will see. Pogo.com also offers posting boards, a newsletter, and various articles written by and about the creators of the site, and about new features and issues involving avid gamers.
You can create an account in a matter of minutes, and there is a large selection of games available to the non paying members. The site is paid for largely by the advertisers, so in order to play for free you will see a number of pop up ads in between games. You can also choose various rooms to play in so that you can chat with other users as you play. There are rooms especially for various age brackets, as well as rooms that are censored or uncensored, depending on your preference.
You can play partner games or games against other members, such as poker or spades. Other popular board and card games are Hearts, Chess, backgammon, and dominoes. The selection is great and the ability to play with or against other users at any time is wonderful. How else would you find a good game of spades at three in the morning when you can’t sleep? Popular games, which are played singly, are word jumbles, puzzles, and solitaire. Even if you choose to play a game which is not involving other members, you can still chat at the side of the page with other members playing the same game, or can ignore the chat feature entirely.
Free members gain points which they can later redeem at the site and are eligible for cash prizes as they play. Though, most players really use the site for recreational purposes rather than seeking the cash jackpot as a reason to play. There are a wide variety of games requiring various skill levels. Gambling and Casino variety games are very popular, and can be played in a group setting, with or without partners. Other games include arcade, puzzle games, such as ‘Poppit’, and ‘Sweet tooth’. Sodoku is another popular growing game. Whether you like word games, such as scrabble, puzzles, or trivia, there’s something to pique any interest. With the addition of a more community feel, and the ability to network with other members and site owners, many users return time and again to play and challenge themselves.
