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.

Go Racing Online With Formula Fog
It's not like it would be fair of anyone to say I was the WORST driver in the world, but I certainly wasn't the best. I think my biggest problem with driving was not the technique or know how per se, but the confidence. So when my boyfriend told me about the racing game on line Formula Fog, I looked at him like he was a bit mad. "I don't really think that will be up my street now do you?" I retorted. But he was insistent. At least that I try it. "Come on," he said, "you can play it for free and it's one of the cool flash games using the fast and furious software. I think you'll like it." Pretty much to pacify him, I tried it. And I haven't looked back since.
Formula Fog is a fast, fun 3D animated flash game in which you have to race against another car. You can be either the red or blue car. And because you're not really on the road, it's not scary. And because it's not scary, for me I get more confidence. And the more confidence I get with Formula Fog, the more confident I actually feel when I go out driving. It's not like I race now when I go out driving, but I do feel better able to control the car more and hence I feel more confident. Interestingly the more I play Formula Fog (even when I don't win), the less I worry about taking the car out.
I have to admit that Formula Fog wasn't so easy at first. I kept careering off the road! So I played it without the sound so I could concentrate more. But the more accustomed I got to this racing game, the better I could control the car and the more exciting it got and then I loved the music and went faster and faster around the laps. What I basically came to realize was, that my movements had to be far more gradual. I had to make sure that I wasn't pushing too much to the right or the left and then I stayed on track much more easily. And then i was able to go really fast and really race the other car and boy did I enjoy 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.

Bloomin' Gardens
Sort Out Your Garden Here
If you have ever enjoyed a spot of gardening, or seen yourself as the green fingered sort, or just enjoy fun puzzle games using great flash software, you will love Bloomin' Gardens. In the game, you will find a whole load of plants growing. The objective of Bloomin' Gardens is to pick them, but you have to do this pretty quickly otherwise you will run out of space and that is frowned upon in this game. the way you do that is by lining them up in groups of 5 (or more; the more the better and you will be rewarded more points for more too).
To move the plants you click them, move them to where you want them and click again to release them to their new homes. But remember to always ensure that there is a clear path in the garden. If the garden gets overgrown, you lose!
Not As Easy as it Looks!
What makes Bloomin' Gardens so frustrating (but equally entertaining as you get more and more determined each time you play to win!) is that you have no idea initially where the problem areas are. For example, when I first played, I kept trying to move plants into areas where it was not allowed. I saw it say "No Clear Path" and then I was stuck. So you have far few areas than you think to move things around. So there is a sort of strategy that has to be developed with Bloomin' Gardens. And the more you play it, the easier it becomes. But it is still no pushover!

Don't Let The Egg Smash In Egg Way
Egg Way is a fun game to play and graphically very rich and clear. What happens is, there are a lot of levels and you have to win them all to move up to a further level. So you get an egg and you get a pan. And the aim of Egg Way is to click on the egg to break it open but as soon as you have done that, you get a pencil. With the pencil you must draw around the egg (not leaving any part of the egg out of your drawing) and then guide it over to the pan. What you will probably find happens initially (level one I was successful with pretty early on but it took me ages to gain control of level two and thus move forward) is that you are just ALMOST getting it, but not quite enough. So with Egg Way, rather than the game being just a test of your speed skills, it is also a test of your accuracy skills. You have to draw around the egg not just as fast as possible, but also as carefully as possible. Because if you just quickly try and contain the egg in your drawing, you will likely do so with less accuracy and then that will not give you success in guiding it in safely into the pan. It is pretty cool when the egg smashes (i.e. you are not successful), from a graphic point of view. You see the yolk splurge out like you would if you inadvertently smash an egg in the kitchen!

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!).

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.
