Bunch of languages
CodinGame -- a bunch of games where you need to write behavior for some agent.
Hacker Rank -- problems grouped by domains.
Codeforces -- competitive programming, somewhat contest-oriented. It's still possible to solve problems without participating in these contests.
UPD: Code Combat -- feels closer to game, mostly JS and Python focused (also has CS, Clojure, Lua and Io as of now).

Thanks for sharing. Codeforces is ok, but is it a game? It is more simillar to Project Euler.

depends I guess, one could see the contests as games

Well, yes, maybe it's not really a game (as well as Hacker Rank, tbh).
Still, I feel like the only major difference between those and, say, CodingGame is that they don't have visualizations. Maybe some people are fine with this.

Colobot -- a real-time strategy game that teaches object-oriented programming.

Saving for future reference. Thanks!
