"friv" and "jogos" are two words I hadn't heard of before. By visiting, I realized that online flash gaming is a bigger deal than I thought. I'm trying to mix games with marketing research by making some simple games that answer research questions, e.g. here: http://www.decisionsciencenews.com/?page_id=553
Actually "jogos" means games in Portuguese. It is interesting to find this word in the top list of the UK. I can infer that the Brazilian and Portuguese communities here are growing :-)
Regarding the online flash gaming, it 's really a big deal, specially in the perspective that it usually is developed for mass gaming and cannot be copied. I've got a case in the Managing Entertainment & Experience course (EA) that mentions the trends of mass online gaming...
Clearly, people connect to the web to communicate and have fun; a few others to find trick to complete their assignments more efficiently ... A risky strategy, since you will soon get frustrated and start browsing the web to find some entertainments, postponing your assignment completion to a later date.
