If you haven’t yet glimpsed the very face of time thievery, here it is. kongregate.com gets a 10 for innovatively retooling the previously shotty genre of flash game sites.

It’s hard not to like this site weather you’re a “core” gamer, you own Viva Pinata, or you’re yet to suckle the soft supple tit of video gaming. It’s all here, look no farther, sign up or shut up, your parking just expired, you have been warned.
