It is not necessary to download games from different websites. Ubuntu comes packaged with a large selection of games.

Using Ubuntu Gnome main menu select Applications->Add/Remove
Set the "Show" Listbox to "Show all available applications"
On the left select Games item

To have more applications listed
Please enable the universe repository:
Open System->Administration->Software sources-> [ Tab Ubuntu software ]
enable "Community Maintained open source software (universe)"
Close and confirm the repository reload.

If there is a particular game you are looking for, let me know.

Thank you

As I understand the problem, you are having difficulty playing web based games through you browser. Please let us know which browser you are using as well the website for one of the particular games.

This will allow us to provide better support.

Thank you
