2DPlay.com is a trustworthy site with a solid reputation. The games load quickly, are free to play and do not require the player to download the game or any software to play it. The only down side to 2DPlay is that due to the games on the site being free it is full of adverts for other sites and a few pop-ups. However, they are not constant or too annoying and definitely worth putting up with for the fantastic free games.
Zynga Games on Facebook including Farmville
The Zynga website and games are very popular worldwide. Their online games, including Farmville, Mafia Wars and Cafe World, have taken the internet by storm. The games are mainly real time games that can be played over months and years with many tasks to complete and share with friends, as apposed to the quick fire arcade games of 2DPlay.com.

Play Free Games Online at Miniclip
Miniclip is a website similar to 2DPlay.com in both content and layout. This site features hundreds of games in a variety of categories including shoot em ups, sports games and a good selection of multiplayer games. Again like with 2DPlay the games are all free and can be played online with nothing to download from the site.
Miniclip does have its differences from 2DPlay however. On the positive side there are no pop-ups and the graphics could be said to be, on the whole, slightly better. The playing screen is also a more desirable size. However, 2DPlay is easier to navigate, with more clear categories, and although the 2 sites games are very similar 2DPlay has more recognisable titles compared with Miniclip.
