Consider, for a moment, how much time you spend using a mouse every day of your life. With all that practice, you probably think you’re pretty agile with that little cursor… Well, think again. Mouse avoider is a flash game designed to pit your manual dexterity against a sly little man hell bent on stealing [...]
I’ve always had a simple approach to winning at Monopoly: Buy everything. If you land on it, buy it, period. Mortgage other properties if you have to, but don’t pass up a chance to own more of the very limited real estate available. This is because, in my experience, the person with more board space [...]
As it turns out, downloading Linux for the first time takes awhile, especially when your internet connection keeps crapping out on you. So I’ve been playing a Flash game called Cubefield to pass the time while the progress bar fills up. Basically, you just dodge cubes as they come flying at you. That’s it. It’s [...]
I generally stick to World of Warcraft for my RPG needs, but I couldn’t help but try out Kingdom of Loathing when a coworker linked me to it. It is, in a word, absurd. That’s not to say it’s a bad game, but the setting and gameplay are just plain silly. In a normal RPG, [...]
The name of the Desktop Tower Defense game says it all. Little enemy dots will try to cross the screen to safety. To stop them, you have to build different kinds of towers. You’ve got slow, long-range missile towers, rapid-fire towers, towers that slow enemy movement, and so on. You can’t really win the Desktop [...]

People come up with some weird flash games. More than a few of them are addictive, too. Double Wires is both. The objective of the game is to keep your ragdoll character from falling as he moves forward by flinging two elastic tethers to grapple and swing on various two-dimensional shapes. Yes, it’s pretty strange, [...]
Sure, it sounds like a pretty dull concept. Here’s a car game where you don’t race, don’t do drive-bys or getaways, and don’t even have a very cool-looking car. Instead, you get to park. That’s pretty much it. Four levels of excitement and adventure as you… attempt to neatly park your car without hitting any [...]
When I first say this magic gopher number game, I was perplexed. No matter how randomly I chose my number, the gopher always seemed to guess correctly. After trying it a few times, it became apparent to me that there was a trick. As it turns out, you don’t have to be a math whiz [...]
Imagine Snake with a Darwinian twist and you’ve got some idea of what flOw is like. You play an… amoeba-like thing that gets to swim around and eat other microorganisms to get bigger and eventually evolve. It sounds simple enough, and the game play is very straightforward. Just use the mouse cursor to guide your [...]
