AOL this week is relaunching Games.com, featuring a library of more than 5,000 free online games, mobile games, and new features, including a multi-device experience. “AOL is seeking to position Games.com as the No. 1 portal for online gamers,” The Next Web reports. “What’s interesting about the launch is that AOL is seemingly sidestepping the native mobile app route, and is tapping the power of HTML5 to create browser-based games that work cross-platform.” AOL bought Games.com from Infogrames -- former parent company of Atari -- about six years ago.
