There Goes The Rest Of Your Weekend
Flight is an addicting little game will kill off any time you had the rest of the evening.
Time Killer For The Evening
It’s Tetris, and Mario Bros. — it’s Tuper Tario Tros.
Time Killer For The Day
Not a really long game, but you can still kill off a good bit of time with Blow Things Up. Play it after the jump.
Time Killers For The Day
Nothing like being stuck at the office on a Sunday (and I know there are a few of you out there) and wanting to kill some time.
- All We Need Is Brain is a too-short little Zombie Puzzler game, but still quite fun.
- Brain Waves will either make you feel really stupid or really smart.
- Gravitee Wars is like Worms in outer space.
- This game flat-out sucks with a touchpad, but Avoider is still pretty dang fun. It’s in Japanese, but the game is simple: Keep the little angry dude from grabbing your cursor.
Time Killer For The Evening
Omnom Forest starts off nice and easy until you get a bunch of those cute litte obnoxious creatures on your screen at once and you have to keep them happy.
Time Killers For The Evening
Couple time killers and then I’m going to ignore the world for the evening after this weekend’s fiasco (which, thankfully, I think is resolved finally — maybe someday I’ll write up a post for all the geeks here who might understand the mess I was dealing with).
- Coaster Racer is a fun little race car game that gets addicting pretty fast (though it is a bit resource intensive if your computer is a bit on the under-powered side).
- Momiga is a great little one-button game with simple task: get the dot across the screen. It took me a bit to get the last level, but I managed 200 clicks.
Have A Good Weekend
Chain of Fire should kill off some of it.
Time Killer For The Day
Undead Highway is your typical Zombie apocalypse type of game, but since I’ve never really had one of those here, I figured it was time. Who doesn’t like blowing up zombies?
Time Killer For The Evening
Word Bubbles is a fast-paced word game where you get the first three letters and you have to think of as mnay words as possible that begin with that group of three letters.
As it stands right now, I’m really bad at it. I managed 1200 after a few attempts, but that’s been my best after a few times.
