1. Armorgames - I like the ranking system and points, also it's the site I'm on most.
2. Kongregate - The old site I used to play, I love how they have those "Achievements" on almost every game and rank up with them, but again, not a great community so I quit.
3. Addictinggames - No points/ranking system, just games so I don't care for it.
4. Miniclip - No points/ranking system, leaned more towards kids in my opinion.
I'm okay with armor points, but kongregate took the system too far. Look at the forums, everybody is obcessed with playing only the games that have achievements, and when asked why they don't go to Armor Games (IE, to play hydraulic class for Sonny 2), they say, no achievements. I hate the mentality of achievements these days, same goes for xbox live achievements and PS3 trophies. I detest the casual gamer trend that requires "achievements" to be rewarded just to a player will feel good about playing the game. Play the game because it's fun, not just to complete achievements.
Anyways, I'd like to add newgrounds in there myself, so here goes:
1. Armor Games, best current game selection out there bar none. Majority of the best flash game devs are sponsored by AG, so games come here first.
2. Newgrounds, still a very good game selection, by far the best... "historical" flash game selection (Johnny rocketfingers, ray parts 1/2, demonic defense, etc.), has a pretty good current game selection, and most the good games on AG end up there eventually (key word eventually). Also, has flash toons that are fun to watch occasionally.
3. Kongregate. Worse selection of games than AG,good games on AG take months to get to Kong, a few devs are sponsored by Kong, but not many. I also hate the achievement system.
4. AddictingGames Occasionally a decent game that's not sponsored by one of the above (just occasionally). I just check the "what's hot" section once a week or so to see if there are any good games I havn't played yet.
5. Miniclip, used to love this site, but doesn't come out with good games anymore. Heli attack 2/3 were ages ago, commando 2 was the last decent game i played there. Recently, it's been a shitshow.
I do like armorgames alot because of AP and everything but I do like to go on addictinggames because of more game choice + there is "more" icon and you get "two player games" and other things ARMORGAMES OWNS! EVERY SITE
only good game on miniclips is heli attacks 2/3 should get them on this site. Kong is okay but wierd how have to do quest for points. Addicting games has all games you can find on other sites and does not have forum like AG. AG beats all these sites as it takes best qualitys and makes them even better.
Armorgames is Original and Unique compared to other sites.. but it still needs to get ahead of it's competition. I love AG and all but I haven't seen any major updates in a long time.
Miniclip has to be 3rd on my list.. what a horrible gaming site. It's all just a clutter of useless games that are completely horrible. Before, when Miniclip first started.. those were their golden years.
Addictinggames.. Don't remind me this gaming site is completely and utterly horrible. They have way too many ad's then necessary, and some games on there are completely stupid.When I used to go on it though was when Nickelodeon hadn't taken over it yet.. Nick has put it into better shape.. kind of.. but it' still not good.
Last but not least.. Kongregate, this is a tie between AG, because I love Kong, their badges are just way better then the NG ones, and it's a fun site. The forums aren't all that great but they still are somewhat decent. There's a chat, so you can play games and chat with friends too. The only thing that makes it come in a tie, is that AG is way more original, and AG's forums are way funner.
Well, Kong has good games. On there. But I've been to their forums, and it's full of spam. Like, knight made a thread about AG on Kong and most of the users at Kong were vicious, they insulted us by calling us nerds...When they are nerds too. Sarcasm was everywhere. They hated AG for no reason. They just called AG Armorgaymes, called us nerds, hated the layout here without a reason. But I just want to tell you just play the games and talk to friends and people on the chat. It's much better than seeing a bunch of vicious Kongregators.
That's why I only play the games there, and go to the forums here.

I basically do the same thing.. I sometimes go on the forums on Kong.. But the responses.. They're so stupid. Thing with AG is that they don't have enough interesting games, AG is revolved around Major games such as Colony, Sonny, And The Last Stand. It kind of annoys me. It's not like those are the only games that are really good.
dumb thing about kongreate is to get up ranks have to play lame games like dolphin olympics 2
It's not dumb.. It makes you experience other games, and gives you a quest/mission to do something, instead of just randomly playing games. Most games on Kong are good, only some are really bad, you just gotta give the games a shot. Also, if your bad at the game don't complain, just stop playing it!
