World Wars Flash Game
March 27th, 2009Careful, World Wars is a great little flash game, similar to Risk, that may keep you coming back for more—it’s very addictive.
The Bros Mario
March 21st, 2009You’ve listened to backwards music, now check out Jump on Mushroom, a mind-bending video game that’s played in reverse. Trust me when I say, it’ll force you to rethink the way you learned to play Mario Bros.
I never read the instructions very carefully and didn’t figure this out until the level 1 (the last level): you can skip the rewind (or forward) sequences by hitting Esc. Good luck.
Play Auditorium
January 3rd, 2009A beautiful physics flash game: Auditorium.

Whiteboard Tower Defense
September 30th, 2008It’s a terrible time waster, but if you’re looking to kill your afternoon, try Whiteboard Tower Defense.
Crappy Cat
September 18th, 2008A short time waster, Crappy Cat isn’t the kind of flash game that rewards dexterity and reflexes, but instead curiosity and morbidity.

Fantastic Contraption
August 26th, 2008Warning: The following link leads to an extremely addicting flash game. Luckily there are only 20 levels and then you can go to sleep. At least, that’s what I did.
Google Lively
July 10th, 2008I tried out Google’s new Second-Life clone, Lively. Never having played Second-Life, I’m not so sure what all the fuss is about, but just for kicks, embedded below is my Lively virtual room.
Update: Lively has been shut down.
Type Racer
April 25th, 2008Here’s a fun distraction for your Friday: Sign in, wait for the green light, and type as fast as you can.
I did pretty well with my average 65wpm speed.
Head Tracking Wii Hack
December 22nd, 2007Even better than the homemade touch screen hack, Johnny Lee has come up with a head tracking hack that could certainly be turned into many REALLY cool games.
