Toon Crisis (Flash Game)

This game has you walking around the streets of New York blasting cartoon baddies to a Gogol Bordello soundtrack! It's fairly simple but it's the combination of things that made me recommend it.

Soccer Balls (a Flash game)

The graphics are pretty bland and the gameplay is ultra simple but the levels do get challenging after you play for a while. Despite the aforementioned, I keep finding myself strangely attracted to this game and then I can't quit...

Phage Wars (Flash Game)

I just stumbled upon this pretty adictive flash strategy game and thought it very worthy of a mention on my blog. It's a kind of viral war game in which your goal is to capture all of the opponents locations. Addictive and fun.

The Polyphonic Spree's Awesome Website

The psychedelic/new age/jam band, The Polyphonic Spree, has an interesting interactive animation sequence as their home page. If you keep clicking on stuff with your mouse eventually the band lifts off in a hot air balloon to another scene.

Serious Santa (Flash Game)

Santa has to kill off all of the bad elves (?).

Zoomquilt II

This is pretty simple but cool - it's a simple flash animation zooming in through multiple creepy artworks. It is much better than it sounds, trust me!

Flash Mini-Game Module - CURSOR CHAOS

This one is a collection of really simple games (in the vein of the Mario Ware games on the DS) in which the actions are simple but the added element of time pressure cranks the action level up quite a few notches. It's a nice little time waster that you can play for a few minutes at a time.

Rabbit Wants Cake (Flash Game)

This one is a nice take on a very simple platformer. You have to record your moves BEFORE anything happens and then you watch your rabbit perform those moves as he tries to get to the cake.

Play Doom/Heretic/Hexen In Your Browser

How about a Flash based Doom/Hexen/Heretic combination that you can play for FREE from your browser? Yes, it's cool, even if all that you get to play are the demo versions.

Space Invaders

Relive your vintage video game days (when you were the real king of the arcades no doubt!) by playing this free flash version of Space Invaders at the Space Invaders shrine.

(I apologize if this is a repost, I found it in my drafts folder which normally means that it has not yet been posted.)

Crappy Cat (a Flash 'thing')

I can't quite figure out if this is a game or just some interative thing but the animation is pretty cool as you tool around in crappy cat's world.

Link

Cat With Bow Golf

A fun and quirky flash game in which you control a cat and his bow and arrow. Try to hit the target to go to the next hole. I promise that it is much more fun than it sounds!

Fantastic Contraption (flash game)

Fantastic Contraption is a flash game similar to the old Sierra classic THE INCREDIBLE MACHINE. My wife went through a phase in which she was totally addicted to this game which is telling because she is not a gamer! Similar to a Rube Goldberg/Tom and Jerry/Road Runner mashed game, this one is quite a bit harder than TIM.

Handbell Hero

I should save this one for Christmas but I know that I will forget so here it is - the next iteration of Guitar Hero - better than GH4 and more fun than Rock Band - HANDBELL HERO. Use your home keys and your left hand to pilot your way through such awesome classics as JINGLE BELLS and WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS - exclusives, as far as I know, to this game.

Ramps (FLASH FRIDAY)

Being that today is Flash Friday (I don't know what that is either but I have been toying with calling it Flash Friday to go with Music Monday) today's time waster is a flash version of the Sierra's old INCREDIBLE MACHINE GAME. This one is much much simpler though.

Link

Mouse Maze (Flash Game)

Here is another simple but fun flash game in which you have to guide the red dot through the pictured maze. It is too hard for me to have such fine control of my mouse....

(Maybe Friday's theme should now be FLASH FRIDAY)

Make Your Own Picasso

Make your own simple (or complex) Picasso painting using the simple tools at this link. You can do color too but I kind of liked it all black.

Link

Hang Stan (a Flash Hangman game)

Here is a simple one with nice cutesy graphics. Try hanging the pig to see what happens. This might be a cute game for your kids to play and it should be playable on the Wii (and maybe even the PSP?)


Link

Copter Flash Game

Here is a nice flash game that is really easy to learn but hard to put down. Label me a simpleton if you wish but sometimes these easy games hit just the right spot, you don't have to learn what 16 buttons do and it doesn't take you an hour to figure out how to play it.

As a side note, I am looking for XBOX LIVE friends to complete some co-op missions in Halo 3. If you are interested send a friend invite to EYESUKK.
