What is GameLinkage
GameLinkage is an archive of small games, where games are organized by many factors, not just their genre, and which lets you interactively navigate via links between similar games of various genres.
Every game has a multitude of characteristics. The same game can be a kids game, a puzzle game, a space game, and a logic game. Another can be a puzzle game and a board game, but be too difficult for kids. Game sites, however, list these two very different games in the same category. There's no way you could tell a kid's game from a challenging board game. Just like in the old movies where the US Cavalry arrives at the last moment, GameLinkage.com is here to save the day.
GameLinkage.com has assigned a list of properties and ranks to every game. You simply choose the exact kind of game you want. Let's say you want a game where you have to shoot from a spaceship. Just go to GameLinkage.com and select the genre. In this case it's an arcade game. Then the most popular subdivisions of Arcades are displayed (action, pacman, space…). The list changes along with the site's growing database. Selecting "Space arcade games" gives you a number of smaller subdivisions, one of which is "Shooter arcade space games". This broadens into its own subsections letting you choose "Ship arcade space shooter games" and there you are! Now you have a much shorter list of games that match all your criteria. You can see small screenshots of each game to decide which to download. Click a title to get detailed information about it or download the game right away.
Here's another common situation: you like a particular game and want to find similar ones. The site provides "Linkage Explorer", which shows you the 10 most similar games to any one you like.
If you're interested in gaming, you should try poker. There is always a free online poker game running somewhere, and you will be able to find a suitable Texas Holdem game within minutes.
