Feeling Skilled? Try Rat Maze 2
I am not even sure why I decided to check out this free flash game Rat Maze 2. I mean, it was not like I had ever been any good at REAL mazes, so who knows what I was thinking when I thought I would have any chance with a virtual version? But still, the graphics looked good (and they really are) and I liked the sounds too. Mind you I am not sure that the rat in Rat Maze 2 looks much like a rat. It looks more like a computerized impression of what a rat might look like to a pixel creator! Still, the different scenes that the rat (you) has to go through are kind of fun. But to anyone looking for an easy to win game, Rat Maze 2 is definitely not the game you want to be playing. I am still not sure (having played this game at least 12 times), how to progress all that far.
Make More Points With Rat Maze 2
The only thing that I have improved on, is picking up extra points. You do that just by mouse control ? (not rat control, hah! Excuse the pun) ? by moving the rat around the board and finding different objects (food I guess) to eat. Each time you do that successfully you get another 100 points. Indeed, the first games I played I only got about 300 points so when I got 1500 points and I was asked to enter my name on to the high score board I thought I had really gotten somewhere. Then I saw that my name would not be seen as the lowest score, at place no. 50 on the board, was 7100!!! So clearly I need a lot more practice at Rat Maze 2 to get anywhere. I suppose it would be nice if I could also find some tips on how to actually make my way out of the maze, given that getting out is what one is supposed to try and ultimately achieve with a maze! But, one step at a time. Right now I am just working on improving my score. Like I said, I have never been one for being good at mazes (or with any real sense of direction) so it is best for me to just focus on the skills I do have.

Beat Tourists With "Sunburn"
Have you really looked forward to your vacation filled with sun, sea and sand, only to arrive and be completely put off by a ton of tourists who were thinking exactly the same thing? Have you ever just looked at them all, wishing desperately that something would come and force them off the beach, so that you could enjoy the peace and tranquility you craved back home for so many months as you were planning your vacation? Well, put your fantasy in to reality as you control the sun in Sunburn. You are the sun on the beach! You are the one burning all those irritating tourists so that they all have to run as far from the beach as possible, leaving you to enjoy the sun, sea and sand you craved.
With Sunburn flash game there is no downloading involved so you just have to click and play, wasting no time. You use the up and down arrows to avoid the cloud (you do not want the cloud to knock you out of the game and bring all those irritating tourists back) and the left and right arrow keys to zap as many tourists with your powerful rays as possible. Watch out for the clouds though as they could block your beam, knocking you out of the game and enabling those irritating hordes of tourists to come back and ruin your vacation even in virtual cyberspace!
No experience is needed for this game. Sunburn is a fun game to play but can be over pretty quickly if you run out of luck, or you do not manage to control the arrows well enough to stop the cloud from blocking you! The more you play Sunburn though, the better you will get at it.

Improve Mouse Control With Twiddle Stix
Everyone Can Enjoy Twiddle Stix
Twiddle Stix is the kind of game that all the family can enjoy. it is a cute concept. With Twiddle Stix you are the stick that is in the water. Perhaps the game emerged out of the concept of Poohsticks or something because it sure did remind me of the days of old when I was a kid and played Poohsticks with my family. You know, the game in which you each take a stick (usually a broken tree branch), throw it on one side of the river and then watch to see it come through to the other side. Well, with Twiddle Stix, you have a stick (also that looks like a broken tree branch) and you have to try and move it through the river, using your up, down, right and left cursor keys. The only problem is, there are so many blocks, and the stick rotates so fast on its own, that it is pretty difficult to try and get it through the narrow spots.
Be Patient With Twiddle Stix
But the game is very much about learning and developing patience. I found that the more I waited in place when I found myself (the stick!) in a potential bind, the better off I was. I only ran into trouble and got knocked out of a level when I was in too much of a rush. Given this lesson, I found that I also - at the same time - learned something important for life. Sometimes one needs to really move, full steam ahead, in life. But at other times, it is just as important to sit back and wait. Let other things move along so that you can just sit back and smell the coffee. And when you do that, everything will fall in place and your time will come, eventually, at just the right moment in the grander scheme of things.

Get Back to Basics With Tic Tac Toe
True, true, it might be an old game that has been around longer than your great grandma, but Tic Tac Toe is indeed a classic game that will never get boring, especially if you get to play it on line using super cool flash software like I found recently. In this version you are able to choose the Easy or Hard mode (I always start with Easy, given the option) and you are playing against the computer. You are the Cross. I actually won the first time I played so that cheered me up and then after a ton of sessions which had me winning or a tie between me and the computer (but usually me winning) I felt confident enough to progress to the Hard mode.
The first time I tried the Hard level it was a tie, so that gave me confidence too. the second and third time I tried, I won, so I was really raking in the confidence but then the computer beat me a few times and then it seemed to be random and quite equal; sometimes I would win; other times the computer and then there would be ties. But each time I played Tic Tac Toe I enjoyed the game and especially the speed in which it could be played thanks to the cool flash software used.
While Tic Tac Toe is nothing really special playing through flash software, what I do like a lot is how fast the game moves. As soon as you have selected your spot for your Cross, the computer is right there behind you (no thinking required, unlike when you play off line with a person, the game can be delayed for ages as you have to wait for their brain to work!).

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.

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!

Play Fun Flash Games from your PC
Actually, I think the greatest place to play games is in Dave and Buster’s. They have the coolest games around. They also have good food and drinks, but the bets part is the virtual reality games they have. It’s just like playing in the real world, only better! They have games galore and lots of awesome stuff to do. Once we had an office party there, and one time they fixed up a great deal for my friend’s birthday. And while you are playing all their fun games, you can meet a lot of really neat people. Another great place for games is on the internet. Although the interaction isn’t there, you have the convenience of being able to play from any computer. And the new games are much more sophisticated than the old Solitaire that comes with your Windows. They have action games, silly cartoon games, casino games. You can find just about anything to play these days.
Romance at the Fun Flash Games
Paris and the Fun Flash Games
I travelled to Paris with my boyfriend on a romantic getaway trip. Although I was very much looking forward to the vacation, I had no desire to leave the Fun flash Games behind me. I had a simple solution for this challenge. I decided to take with me my lap top computer and then I would surely be able to enter the Fun flash Games from anywhere that I could access the Internet. This proved to be good idea - one that I am sure that my boyfriend would also agree with.
Enjoying the Fun Flash Games in Paris
I loved Paris. I felt that it was such a romantic city. We toured the city during the day and sat at cafes - ordering coffee and croissants. I enjoyed just sitting there soaking in the the atmosphere. In the evenings, we usually went out for dinner, although on the odd occasion, we ate at our hotel. We were on vacation and we could do what we liked. When we felt like some action, we accessed the Fun flash Games. It was simple to access - and looked just the same as it does from home! I cannot explain why, but somehow playing games at the Fun flash Games in Paris, had a romantic feel to it!
