I believe Kongregate has its advantages over AG.

Points here...

Kongregate: A. Their 'Badge' System is like AG's point system, but you have to complete certain objectives specified in-game to obtain the badges.

B. The badges are also more of a collecting sort of thing, showing that you completed the harder or impossible badges gives a sense of 'bragging rights' if you can say..

AG:

A. Better games?
B. Forums are a lot better and... civilized!

Newgrounds is free.
no problem.

Finally an NG user.

Yes, GameStop did buy Kongregate, but when i first saw it, i thought Kongregate was owned from the first time by GameStop, it wasn't like that, but I'm glad its part of GameStop now, more awesome games.

Kong is a very successful site. AG is successful in its own right too. AG's a game developer and sponsorer. Kong mainly host games and is very community oriented. AG's forums aren't of paramount importance.

I don't see any changes to the site?
Its better cause they bought the site cause they have money and the guy who invented it made some dough.
