London Bridges....

I'm on Christmas break now, so of course that means I'm playing online games. I went to addictinggames to find some entertaining games and I was not disappointed. Here is one of the games I found. It's called Mythic Fort Defense. You have a tower on one side of the screen while enemies approach from the other side of the screen. You shoot the baddies with arrows from your tower and with power-ups that unlock as you level up. It's an addicting and fun mouse controlled game. There are three different game modes: Campaign, Zombie Invasion, and Boss Trials. Campaign is good. Zombie Invasion is too easy and never gets harder. I made it 38 minutes before getting bored with it and letting myself die. The Boss Trials are quite a bit more challenging. It's a fun game - enjoy.

Sugar and Spice and All Things Nice

Here is one of those games where you have a castle across from the computer's castle and you send your troops across to destroy their castle before they destroy yours. Here's the twist: They're cupcakes!!!! Haha. Anyway, the music is pretty fun and it's a fun little game.

Cupcake Crusaders

Shoot 'Em Up

I played this game a long time ago before it got popular and now it is actually selling in stores and what-not. But here is Plants vs. Zombies online: Plants vs. Zombies.

And here is a crazy western duel game. It's high noon!

Tesla's Dream -- Free Energy For All

I was trying to find this game earlier and just now found it. It's a great puzzle game where in each level, you have to get the energy from the power supply to the target. Great fun.

Why Don't You Step Down From That Ledge, My Friend....

I'm going back through my StumbleUpon online games favorites and replaying some of them that I really like.
Here's one called Suicide Salaryman. In it, you are a business man and in each level, your goal is to kill yourself. It's not always as straightforward as it sounds. This is a puzzle game.

Let There Be Light

A long, long time ago I played this awesome game called Lightbot. The goal was to program a robot to turn on all the lights on each level. It was challenging and fun. But now, I have discovered the holy grail of online games: Lightbot 2.

Where to start? They've added conditionals, recursions, a system clock (speed) and now you can make your own levels. What's not to like? [ <-- rhetorical question ]

Oh, by the way, if you don't know what a recursion is, that's ok. The game explains it for you, so don't let that stop you from playing.

I've already wasted a few hours on this game, and I'm not even done yet. I have only beaten 15 out of 24 levels so far. Oh, joyous day!

The Sky Is Falling!

I don't have a whole lot to say about this; but here is First Person Tetris. The camera follows the piece and when you turn the piece, the whole camera turns with it. I thought that it was interesting enough to share.

Bring Me to Life

Many of you have probably already played various versions of Tower Defense games on the internet. I consider the original and also the best version of this game to be Desktop Tower Defense.

Me, my brother, and a friend modified this game to be played with groups of actual people. We call it Live Action Tower Defense (LATD). One team plays the Defenders, which consists of two positions: Towers and Runners. Towers must remain stationary and are the only players who can throw the balls. Their goal is to hit each member of the invading team before they can make it to the end zone. The Runners retrieve the balls and bring them to the Towers. The offensive team are the Creeps. The Creeps must follow the set path and try to make it to the end to add a tally to the total number of successful invaders. If a Creep is hit with a ball, they must go back to the beginning and try again. The Creeps win if they reach the goal of successful invaders and the Defenders win if the time runs out without the Creeps winning.

Those are the basic rules -- there are a few more detailed rules than that and it can be modified in many different ways to make it more or less challenging for a certain team in order to pursue equal opportunity for victory.

We were honestly suprised that we were able to turn this beloved internet classic into a sport.

It's great fun.

When You Wish Upon A Star....

I just found this amazing game where a penguin tries to fly. It is hilarious, addicting, entertaining, and altogether a good game. It has achievements in different forms along with various styles of upgrades. It also features three different modes to keep the fun rolling.

You know a game is good when you beat it completely -- every nook and cranny, every achievement, every challenge and upgrade. I had a shirt once that had a picture of an expectant penguin with the caption, "I wish I could fly." That being said: enjoy the game.

Learn 2 Fly

Waking Up

So, I know that I haven't posted anything in a while. In apologetic form, I will share with you a few things that I found to be interesting lately.

Firstly, a puzzle game where each cursor color you use plays on top of the other ones, making some interesting little puzzles. Not that hard, not super great, but just a little entertaining.
Pigs Can Fly

Next up, we have an interesting little animation about a little glowing man in a crossing walk signal.
Check out some sweet dance moves.

And lastly, a list of some interesting pranks: Enjoy.

Beware Of Pig

Hambo

In honor of Memorial Day, here is a game about a 'Nam veteran pig. Each level consists of destroying all of the enemies while keeping yourself alive. Your tools are explosive arrows, pistols, machine guns, grenades, timed explosives, and Hambo knives. You can also be awarded a gold medal if you complete the level in a skillful amount of shots.

Pixie Genocide Achievement Award

Icy Gifts

This is a fun game that is basically like Boomshine - the game where you click and all these little pixies explode like kamikazes, taking other martyr-ous pixies with them.

It's better, however, because it has upgrades AND achievements. Awesome, right?

Foreign Diplomatic Policy: Canned Food

Abduction

Found another fun flash game tonight. In this one, you are an alien that abducts humans to sell as canned food. The game has a basic upgrade system and different levels which are unlocked by certain described achievements on the previously conquered levels.
Pretty fun, this one is.

Are You Not Entertained?!

Here is a fun game that I found through StumbleUpon, wherein you are a dragon-rider. It is a side scrolling flying shooter with upgrades and levels. It should amuse for a good chunk of time.

To Each His Own

I found this fun little WASD, aim and shoot game that was amusing for a little bit. It has different weapons you can pick up, some of which aren't nearly as cool as some of the other ones. Worth a play, I'd say. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it entertained me for several minutes, so Bravo!

Let Them Play Games

Go there. Mhmm. That's how to know me better.

Or, you could just go there to check out the online games. I've found some good ones and they're all in there.

Right now, the coolest thing I've discovered on the internet is rottentortugas.com
Some of it is more offensive (like an online gamer dealing with actual people) and there is cussing on the website, although the youtube account censors it. Personally, I think that the censoring can be more annoying and detrimental than just hearing the words. Who knows?

Enjoy.
