HOT PICKS [FRIDAY]

Time Flies When

April 20, 2007

Time to kill becomes time to thrill with the addictive games offered at Pogo.com, the online entertainment portal from Electronic Arts. Old friends like solitaire, poker, checkers and hangman join new acquaintances like Poppit! and Word Whomp to keep you entertained in your moments of rest. And maybe to win you some money, too.

The chance to score some cash is probably a big reason why Pogo has become one of the biggest casual games websites. But they offer a lot more than just the opportunity to earn a few bucks from that solitaire habit you've developed. You know, the one you'll never admit keeps you glued to your monitor for hours at a time.

Once you sign up for a free Pogo account, you can play more than 80 games. And the better you get, the more chances you'll have to win real cash and prizes. Free accounts are supported by ads, or you can buy a premium ad-free account, which also gives you access to exclusive games like Makeover Madness and Word Craft. Chatting functions lets you make friends within the Pogo community. Or smack-talk your rivals during competitive games.

Give Pogo a try. You've got nothing to lose, except any desire to turn your computer off.
