For starters, I will hop over to Games2win yet again to take a deeper look at the quality of 10 random games. The game Magic Fingers is completely way-off and has zero addiction value. I've been a gamer for over 30 years - right from the days of the ZX Spectrum and currently I also run a gaming company of 40 people. So, I do know what I am talking about here. It doesnt really matter if a game has 2 levels or 5000 levels. Its the gameplay that is important. Just saying that this game has 20 levels means nothing at all - if the levels are poorly designed, level-to-level learning curves are not perfectly in place, etc etc - then its just not going to be fun... *sigh*. Game design is an art - and comes naturally to few people... and I see a very select few companies that have this talent inhouse (in India)... and even those who do have it - reflect it in very few products of their. Games2win is not the only company here with substandard contnet - there are plenty of others. Anyway's since you have asked me to take another look at Games2win - I will do so. And I will post my experience again. OK. For starters, I will hop over to Games2win yet again to take a deeper look at the quality of 10 random games.

You are unnecessarily misleading people by saying that the webgaming content on Games2win is sub-standard in quality. If this was the case, their games wouldn't have been picked up by popular international gaming sites. I see their games all the time on UGOplayer.com, Addictinggames.com, Newgrounds and even Kongregate which is your benchmark for casual gaming sites (check http://www.kongregate.com/games/Games2win/magic-fingers). These are renowned sites and would not allow any sub-standard content to be featured on their sites. Yes, Magic Fingers may not be sticky - probably that's the nature of the game - they might have designed it for a gamer who's short on time and needs a quick gaming break. But you can't ignore Games2win's highly sticky games like Carbon Auto Theft, Bombay Taxi, Pizza Passion, etc. - Bombay Taxi has 20 levels! I guess you should try playing these games - they will help change your opinion about Games2win. It's not right to write negatively about someone without looking at both sides of their story.
