I’m not a hardcore gamer by any stretch of the imagination, but I do enjoy relaxing with a few hands of blackjack or solitaire every now and then. Free online games are just my style, so that’s why when I heard about USA Network’s new Character Arcade, I had to check it out.
The Character Arcade, currently in beta, is a website where casual gamers can hang out and play original flash-based games featuring characters from their favorite USA Network programs. Monk’s Mind Game, Monk’s Mind Machine, Psych Training Day, and Burn Notice Challenge are just a few of the themed offerings on the site. In addition, the Character Arcade puts its own twist on classics such as Solitaire and Sudoku by adding images of series actors on the cards or game board.
I don’t know about you, but I personally find Solitaire a heck of a lot more exciting when I turn over a card to find Jeffery Donovan’s face on it!
In addition to hosting these games, the Character Arcade also serves as a place where gamers can interact with each other, make new friends, issue direct challenges to each other, track performances, and even talk smack with their rivals. Best of all, the Character Arcade is 100% free to join, and the registration process is quick and easy. Oh, and did I mention that you can even win prizes?? What an awesome bonus just for playing games!
It took me less than two minutes to fill out the registration form. From there, I was able to start creating my profile and playing games immediately. My favorites so far are the Burn Notice Challenge, Blackjack, and Solitaire, all of which are tons of fun and highly addictive!
If you’re looking for a cool (and FREE) gaming site that will help you pass the time and meet new people, then you’ve just got to check out the USA Character Arcade today. My Character ID is JE223 — come on over and challenge me!!
I was reading an interesting magazine article last night about celebrities who have suffered from acne and severe breakouts in the past. Of course, by the time the general public actually sees these people in magazine spreads or on the silver screen, the blemishes have been covered up by heavy applications of theatrical makeup or by Photoshop, so it’s often hard to tell who has good skin and who doesn’t.
