Play Flash Ping Pong for Great Fun!

The reason I originally chose to play flash games was because I just did not have the energy or inclination to start spending a ton of time downloading my favorite games from the Internet. But what I didn't imagine or expect was how great they could be. Because there are so many different flash games to play (a lot of which are free) I play a ton and thus go through phases of which my favorite ones are. Currently, I love to play ping pong flash game. I used to play ping pong with my brother when I was growing up so I understood the basic concept. But I tell you something...when I play ping pong in a flash environment it's WAY more exciting and I think I'm better skilled at it. Not only that but I'm sure that if I go out to play real live ping pong, because of my experience with flash ping pong gaming, I think I'll be really good at it.

It's a free game to play and the aim of the game is to bounce the ball as many times as possible. The more you get in to bouncing the ball without it dropping on the virtual floor, the more you begin to understand the whole concept of keeping a ball in the air - hence the reason I am sure I will be really good at playing real live ping pong. And of course with this ping pong flash game there is no downloading time (even though the size of the game is 353 kb) so I'm playing straight away without wasting any time. The mouse controls the ball so playing ping pong is also good for general computer skills as you learn to better control the mouse. It really is a great way of getting in to computer games as a general rule, especially since it's free!

Get Real Excitement from Bubbleshooter

There are very few things my husband and I come to blows on. And even with this cool and exciting flash game of bubbleshooter we are not exactly coming to blows! But when we vacation to a spa for 2 days and take only one laptop with us, we do tend to argue over who's going to play bubbleshooter first! It's just such a fun game! There are 6 different colored balls on a screen, filing three quarters of the screen (light blue; dark blue; yellow; green; red and fuscia pink). At the bottom of the screen are two colored balls - one that is going to come out immediately and the other one behind it that will come out afterwards. The goal of the game is to aim the first ball to the screen filled with balls, but to aim it to at least 2 of the same colors of these balls so that you knock them out. If you knock them out more balls do not fall down; if you fail, extra balls come down and you lose if too many balls come to the end of the screen.

What I've been learning in bubbleshooter recently as I've been developing my bubbleshooting skills, is that a good strategy is NOT to focus on the first ball but the second ball. If for example there are two options for the first ball (i.e. your first ball is red and there are two or more places where there is a clutter of red balls) then go for the red balls that will give you access to the next color that you are going to have to try knocking out.

My husband and I both find that the game is very unforgiving of 2 mistakes. And it is very unforgiving once you have knocked out one color on expert level (there are four levels with two ways of play: sniper and classic) then it gets really tough and the balls come down really fast. But that is what makes the game so exciting. You feel like you just HAVE to knock out another color. And the more colors you knock out, the faster the balls come down so you have to be really fast and clever. It's frustrating but in a fun way and we love it. Somehow it always adds to the enjoyment of our vacation!
