Two Player Games
Website: www.twoplayergames.org
Two Player Games is a website dedicated to posting new and popular two player games. Across the top banner, they have grouped each of the games into separate categories depending on your desired genre of play. Some of the genres include racing, sport, shooting, puzzle, strategy, adventure and action games. In cases where more than two players are present, they have a separate section for three to four player games, with another section highlighting the best of their wide selection.
Unlike other game websites which have plenty of pop-up ads, the website does not host any with a clean layout and interface free from side banners. Because the website is so cleanly and clearly laid out, transitioning from the game library to actual in-game play is easily done simply by clicking on your desired game.
Most of the games use HTML5 rather than flash making them accessible for play on mobile devices. Touch screen games are also clearly labelled should traditional controls be difficult on handheld devices lacking traditional mouse and keyboard controls.
