I had never really thought of myself as a pumpkin! Even though I am a pretty staunch fan of Halloween and my husband loves to make pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, I had never gotten to the stage where I had personified the pumpkin as it were. But that is exactly what Pumpkin Battle is all about. The game starts with the pumpkin just hanging out and doing what pumpkins do - growing in the field with all the other pumpkins which does not require much brain power. But you know also that the only reason you have been created at all is to be someone's jack-o-lantern for Halloween - not such a great thought as your lifespan is thus pretty small. But that wouldn't be so bad if all the pumpkins with you in the field had the same outlook on life of being in it together.
Watch Out for the Mean Pumpkin
Well, in Pumpkin Battle there is one pumpkin who is really mean. This pumpkin is a peril to all the other pumpkins. And that is where your role comes in. You are faced with a few choices. You can either: flee, try and make magic, roll the pumpkin or select items. You do not know what the outcome will be from any of these options and each time you choose them something else happens. I think that is what I like most about the game.
Get Into The Halloween Spirit
The other thing I really like about the game is the fact that it reminds me of one of my favorite holidays of the year - Halloween - and it proves that thanks to cool flash games, you can bring create the cheer of holidays in to your life any time of day or night, especially with such amazing graphics like those found in Pumpkin Battle.

Be The Best Fireman Ever
How to Succeed in Fireman
In the cool flash game Fireman, your task is to get really good at the job of a fireman, in virtual city. So what you have to do is try and develop the longest hose possible (that will be a great tool for a fireman in a fire situation). But you have to act fast. That is the whole challenge of the game. When you get really good at the game (I'm not at that point yet) you may even finish the hose before your time runs out and in this situation you can press the hydrant and let the water run. But again, what you want to be focusing on achieving is creating the longest hose possible as the longer the hose by the end of the game, the higher your score will be.
Watch the Clock
Remember that time is of the essence in Fireman. There is a clock on the right hand side of the screen. I found that I did better when I turned the sound off as the sound of the clock going put me under too much pressure. I also found it helpful to press "Pause" here and there in the game as that gave me the opportunity to think about my next move and to focus and what would be best for me to do next. And then I thought to myself, goodness, if this is pressure, what kind of pressure must REAL firemen feel? And I was pretty glad that I have my job behind a desk.
