Less Click, More Play

by Dylan Romero

Ah, imperatives. Nothing gets people moving (or clicking) like a good command. A graphic commanding you to PLAY NOW is even harder to ignore. The Games section of the Great Games Experiment now has a Play Now button that overlays the game image for every immediately playable game, allowing you to bypass the game page itself and hop right into playing games on your browser.

We want GGE to be a one stop source for information on games, including descriptions, reviews, and comments, but we also want users to have the ability to simply play games. I’m already at the stage where I automatically hit the Play Now button for every new game that looks interesting. How can I not? I’m just doing what the button tells me.


Play Now games that I’m playing now:

Dirt Bike

Diesel and Death

QWERTY Warriors

Apparently I’ve been feeling nostalgic for Excite Bike.

Cheers,
Dylan
