Puzzle Pirates

Ten games that make you think about life - StumbleUpon At the start of this year, we decided to come up with a list of Flash casual games with a philosophical bent. To be honest, we struggled. After days of research, we could only find a handful of games that had the thought-provoking depth we were looking for. Our list (which you can view by clicking here) was therefore only five games long. Fast forward to now, and it is remarkable how much difference a few months can make. Thanks to the work of pioneers like Daniel Benmergui, Gregory Weir and PixelAnte, there is now an abundance of clever arty Flash games to pique our intellects, and as a result creating this follow-up list of games that make you think has been a doddle. In a wonderful twist, it seems it is the Flash gaming space - until now known more for the throwaway nature of its games rather than depth - that is leading the way in this exciting new area of gaming, as we hope the following games prove. 1Immortall The game starts with you crash landing on a planet. 2Loved 5Coma 6Loondon

Amanita Design Miner Wars JamLegend – Free Online Guitar Brilliance - FF Ver 3.5.7 - 69 I want to be able to play guitar before I die. Of course, I also want to play the harmonica, piano, get a great voice and learn C++, amongst other things. So, for the time being, I guess I’ll have to settle for digital jamming. Guitar Hero and Rock Band are great, but also very pricey – even more so than most games because of the controllers. Luckily there are plenty of free alternatives. In the past, we already discussed Frets On Fire and several other rythmic flash games to groove up your day, and today we have yet another great “guitar game” on presentation. Reader, meet JamLegend. JamLegend is an online rythm game, perfect for jamming away in a browser of your choice. Many of you – especially those from the scene – might already know JamLegend. Play Songs, Duels or Showdowns There are three main game modes that ought to be taken into consideration. First, and the most obvious one, is playing by song. When you’ve set a decent highscore, you can challenge one of your friends for a duel.

Main Page - YPPedia DNA/Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Infocom Adventure History There was a time when computer games didn't have graphics. Or at least they couldn't have graphics and sound at the same time. They certainly couldn't have graphics, sound and enough content to keep even a human being amused for more than a few minutes. So they had text. This was radical - a computer game you could control by typing in commands. Then graphics games came along and the computer using portion of the human race forgot all about 500,000 years of language evolution and went straight back to the electronic equivalent of banging rocks together - the point'n'click game. Something strange has now happened. And now some news ... If you've read this far, congratulations, you clearly have one of the necessary requirements to play the actual game online. If you don't have Java, then may we suggest the BBC's rather excellent 20th Anniversary Edition? Enjoy!

UFO: Afterlight – Official website Welcome to Improbable Island MoTD | Log In to see your Distractions | Report a problem | Enquirer - Blogs, Forums and Wiki | Twitter | Improbable Island Merchandise! How did I end up here? It's a question that you must have asked yourself at one point in your life or another. Probably after pulling your head out of the toilet bowl, remembering the little rhyme about drinking wine on top of beer, and then feeling rather poorly again. You might have asked that question while standing naked in the pouring rain holding a coathanger in one hand and a rather large purple sex toy in the other, trying desperately to break into your own car while two policemen stroll up the street towards you. However, this time, you mean it literally. Or rather, you would, if you had gotten around to asking that question. You know that you're lying in grass. The unmistakable roar of a low-flying jet plane going overhead, and the muffled thumps of explosions in the distance... now, that's not so good. Reluctantly, you open your eyes. Think.

Definetly one of the best MMOs I ever played. The mix between puzzling and RPG was well done, creating a great atmosphere. The pirate theme is also a plus. by mobyduck Jun 20
