Canabalt is only controlled by one button, but its low-res graphics and great music make it really fun to play.

I made it 2800 meters on my first try. How’d you do?

In today’s Time Killer(s), you can play the old school Excitebike online, or you can play Cyclomaniacs, which is a great side-scroller bike race game that reminds me a lot of that classic.

Where’s Waldo? Find the drunken fool and take him out.

Penguins are not flightless birds. Really.

Hopefully you can type fast in the Boggle-esque must pop words. I got 2158 on my first try — what’d you get?

Can you multitask?

It’s a simple game, but William and Sly is a fun platformer.

I was never into those card games like Magic: The Gathering, mostly because they cost money that I didn’t have and I didn’t want to sit there and document everything and keep score. Elements is free, and the computer keeps the score for you. I still suck at it (just like I did the couple times I tried those card games in my younger years) but least I can suck without getting laughed at — at least in person.

Unique ideas: This Is The Only Level (which you have to pass a zillion times in different ways) and You Only Live Once, where there are no continues.

Greg Can Jump is a very simple, but fast-paced game that gets really hard as you go on. Which is why I prefer DropSum as it’s like Tetris and basic math rolled into one — and it won’t cause you to get too angry.
