        Is there anything in your site that isn't available on other sites? You mentioned that you developed some of the games, but they are also listed and available in other sites, so there's no benefit to you, either. You are listing the same games that most likely hundreds of other Websites.

        You need to use another approach, what makes your site unique? Why would Google list your site instead of others?

            From what I see :

            • You don't own any game / have no original content.

            • You don't host any game. And when a website like "Game Jacket" is down, the game is unavailable :

            http://www.loglod.org/play-game/3168-raging-steel-2

            • Few or no text on the website.

            Sorry if it sounds harsh, just trying to find reasons...

              Hello, No Problem I need all info to try to fix, Game Jacket company is down it was hosting some games at our servers, all games which I have on site are hosted on dedicated server plus CDN for better speed, also about text I was thinking about it how can I add for example 500 characters text for game which have maximum 2-3 hours playtime, main content is flash and my site is something like open base where we collecting only best games, which we are thinking that are best, this also don't means nothing ?

              Thanks

                "how can I add for example 500 characters text for game which have maximum 2-3 hours playtime,"

                And that's exactly the point.  I've answered your question on another forum but thought I'd chime in again here.  How does your site add value that the user can't get elsewhere?  It appears that the vast majority of these games are ones that don't belong to you.  So, if I am searching for a particular game, why would Google want to show me your site rather than the site of the person who created the game?

                I don't say this often but I think that removing your penalty will be close to impossible.  You would have to convince Google that your site adds significant value and should be included in the search results.  And that's going to take a lot more than just adding a blurb of content to each game.
