Go Fast With Cube Buster
I had absolutely no idea that you had to be so fast with this game of Cube Buster!!! I mean I had played fast flash games before, but this one REALLY required mega speed. Cube Buster really moves quickly and is quite scary in that way (well, not scary as such, but you know what I mean; it certainly gets you biting those nails if you are a nail biting type of person). So here is what you must remember at all times before and during the time you engage in Cube Buster. What happens is, is that you are faced with a large grid with small different colored cubes on it (red, green, silver) and then at the bottom of the grid is another line which fills up with these same colored cubes VERY very fast (almost too fast for you to work out what is going on). And what you have to do is click on one of those colors that matches up to the same color on the last line of the grid, but you have to do it as soon as it appears otherwise you miss your (very small, very fast) window of opportunity and thus you here "eek" from the computer telling you, pretty much, that you failed. Most of the time I play this game I actually got nothing (no points!) but I did find that the more I tried it (despite how incredibly frustrating it got at times) the (slightly) better I became at it.

Get Smiley With 12 Swap
This is a very cute game and I do like the smiley faces. Players are presented with a grid of different colored smiley faces. What you have to do is move them around (one at a time) so that there are three in a row of the same color. To do that you just click on it and thereafter click on another one (that you want the original one to swap places with) and that one has to be to the left, right, below or above it and then those 2 faces will change colors.
I initially misunderstood slightly as I thought that I could move a smiley face as a first move to get a row of 3, but the game will only allow you to move a smiley face if it anticipates that by doing so you will create that row of 3 in that one move. It is not such a difficult game, but what can be quite challenging is that sometimes the colors look very similar (such as the red and orange; the green and blue) and the board is quite small (although there is a way to make it larger on a lot of computers) but these two factors probably render it tougher. Oh and the fact that as soon as you start moving the smiley faces, well, they just start smiling so that can add to the confusion.
You have two play mode options: either to play until your time runs out, or to play until you run out of moves and I always choose the latter option. Obviously the higher up you get in terms of levels, the harder (and more exciting) it gets.

While Away Time With THESE Cool Flash Games
Sometimes you just have to take a bit of time out. Not because things are difficult or anything, but just because you need to do something a bit different. My husband had been a semi-professional pool player for years - way before I had ever met him - and I guess because he was really good now, he just wasn't at all interested in showing me how to play. In fact it was his long-term pool partner who had taught me my first (and indeed until I discovered the flash game 3D pool) and only move in pool. Well, now that I was able to play on line, without even having to wait a moment to download the game (that's the beauty of flash games), I felt like I was actually managing to develop a skill in the game.
Within seconds of clicking on 3D pool, you can see your pool stick and aim it against the white ball (you can tell by my lingo that I know nothing of this game at all, right?). You get a small round diagram at the top of the board to show you how your pool stick is lined up, to help you organize your move. I have to tell you, it took me a while to get anywhere at all in this game initially, but once I did, I found that I was developing a skill that I had never managed to achieve when I played the game off line. And then when I next went to our pool table downstairs, my husband was most impressed that I was able to actually get somewhere in a real live game too! It will indeed take me some time to get to any kind of level so as to play the game against him, but I sure am a whole lot better than I was a few months ago! 3D pool is a great way of wasting time in a positive way.
