Games People Play

Everybody at blogosphere is coming up with their top ten list for 2007. So, I’ve decided to put up my own list of top 7 online flash games that I’ve played for hours and hours and hours in 2007.

7. xiao xiao: Not very challenging if you’re a hardcore gamer, but should keep you occupied till you wait for your capuccino at the local Starbucks.

6. Bloons : This one is simple, yet addictive. The goal is to pop minimum number of balloons with the limited amount of darts given to you to pass each level. The trick is to maximize the damage caused by a single dart shot.

5. Blocks: Another “rack your nerve cells” game. The aim of this game is to get the block to fall into the square hole at the end of each stage. Sounds simple, well go ahead, and try it out for yourself.

4. Portal : A tiny fan made flash based version of the cocept of portals used in Halo. To be specific, you cross each level by smartly using your portal gun to reach the exit door. Very clever !

3. Flow: It is a beautifully simple and surprisingly addictive Flash game built by Jenova Chen. It was also rated as one of the best indie games of 2007 by Wired.

2. Desktop Tower Defense: This is a not-so-simple, but also not-too-difficult strategy game. It kinda live action puzzle game written for fun in flash. You have to stop your enemies, or “creeps,” from traveling all the way across the screen.

1. Orisinal – Winterbells : Very simple, aesthetically pleasing, and addictive at the same time. Use your mouse to make the cute bunny jump on the bells floating in air. The higher you climb, higher your score , and needless to say more difficult your climb will be.

There you go, you now have seven reasons to procrastinate that important task you were supposed to complete yesterday.
