AOL relaunched Games.com, a site with more than 5,000 free games,
designed to attract a large gaming audience online and on mobile
and tablet devices.
AOL said Tuesday that the games are from
developers and distributors such as Big Fish Games, Masque Publishing,
Mochi Media and others. About 100 of the games are built on HTML5
technology, which means they are playable on the iPad and other devices
that don't run Flash technology.
The company said it plans to add
new features in the coming months. Games.com competes against sites such
as addictinggames.com, bigfishgames.com and even Zynga.com.
Shares of AOL Inc. slid 9 cents to $36.64 in midday trading Tuesday.
