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.

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.

Go For Blob Wars, Alone or With Buddies

Blob Wars is a great game to play, both whether you are alone and bored, or alone with a friend and bored. You have the option also of playing one game; best of three or best of five. I actually prefer to play Blob Wars alone primarily as I think all my friends are just way too competitive (but there again I guess they would say the same about me). Anyway Blob Wars is a lot of fun and you have to try and make everyone in to YOUR blobs (so they are on your side). You do this by putting a blob into an empty space or jumping into an open space up to one square away. You conduct both these moves with a mouse click. This highlights your blob and you must click on a highlighted spot to complete the move. Once you have made the move the blob becomes yours. The player with the most blobs at the end of the game, wins.

The music is pretty nail biting in Blob Wars. It sounds like you are setting up for battle. It goes quite quickly too and you have to be pretty much on your toes so that you don't get sapped to the other side (like I did A LOT in my first few games). As well as trying to get the opponents on your side, you have to try and not get taken to their side to Blob Wars is very much a game of defense and offense. Blob Wars takes a bit of practice to master the main ideas, but once you have done that, you can do pretty well really.

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!
