The consumer site will cover free play online games, those on mobile phones, as well as traditional games consoles.
The launch of is the latest in a year long campaign to launch more than 30 websites across the MediaGlow network, which AOL released in January to centralise its global publishing efforts.
The site builds on AOL's existing pedigree in traditional online games with its site, which attracts nearly 1m unique visitors a month.
Sean O'Connell, AOL Europe's director of games, said: "We saw a gap in the market for an unbiased, editorially-led site about casual gaming.
"This is an opportunity for AOL to create a completely new community, which will offer a compelling vehicle for advertising partners to reach an engaged, niche audience.
"While there are hundreds of sites out there where you can play free online games, Flytrapgames gives gamers a unique curated guide to this world. We aim to highlight the best online games in the world at any given moment."
Features of the site include articles about any online games, not just on AOL; a mix of casual online games as well as casual video games, touching on some of the more offbeat independent games available; and community elements such as competitions and interactive comments.
