Is there anything better than free games? I mean, it’s a rhetorical question, but when you have good, free flash games that you can play in a browser, it’s hard to complain. Today, GameFly (the generally excellent game rental service) launched Ponged, which offers “over 500” games, all free to play in any flash-capable browser, all of which were reportedly selected by “hardcore gamers”. According to Joystiq, everything should work just perfectly in browser windows on your Wii or PS3, and there’s even a quick-conceal “boss button” so those who game at work can easily avoid getting caught.

Taking a quick look on the site, there are certainly quite a few gems (and an insane variety of games across genres). Actually, there are even licensed titles, like Wallace and Gromit: Invention Suspension, which is a very fun little action/puzzle diversion. I’m also currently harboring a mild addiction to the excellent Gravitex 2, a funky puzzle title with a Kongregate background and an addictive, spacey aesthetic.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be wasting my rainy Wednesday in the Puzzle section. Thank you, Gamefly. Now, if only they could get my rental games to me within a week of release…
