Games That Give

Far be it from me to condone time wasting on this blog--well, except for all the times I've done it before, but if you really do insist on playing games online instead of, say, housecleaning, you may feel a little better about yourself if you play some of the games on the Games that Give website. Basically, for some unknown reason, corporations donate money for every minute you play to some worthwhile charities. So far, they haven't seemed to get into Multiplayer roleplaying games, but if you like tetris or solitaire or puzzle games, you may as well play them here as anywhere else.
