Flash Games, Overlooked Or Overhyped?

Flash games, they are free, short and usually on-line games that have made a permanent mark on the world wide web. When they are good, they have the potential to be be amazing, but when they are bad, it makes you feel like you are just watching what it's like inside a small child's mind. So, should they be discouraged or are they a welcome past time and a entry point for a new generation of gamers? Your opinions?

so an example to those flash games:

check this game out, its not so much a game as a parody of the current state of video games, and it is so short that the credits are longer (the credits are almost of a portal like quality), but the polish here is pretty amazing.
