Only give this one a shot if you’ve got a lot of free time. This is a full-fledged RPG in a browser. Sure, it’s simplistic, basically a reimagining of the old text games, but they’ve been pretty thorough. It’s got the same tongue-in-cheek feel as the Penny Arcade game, only without the rated-M humor. Play […]

This week, for Free Game Friday, I’m not bringing to you just any old game. I didn’t have huge expectations for Tag: The Power of Paint, but it absolutely blew me away. The game feels a lot like Portal, in that you’re using an odd gun, in this case a paint gun, to navigate an […]

A lovingly-crafted parody of Oregon Trail, themed to Fallout Boy. There are some nice attempts at Guitar Hero like play, and some really poor attempts at shooter mechanics, but the game sure is funny. I died on the side of the road after my van was capsized by surf zombies. My chicken nuggets sank and […]

This is a funny little randomly-generated RPG game. Although they bill that you’ll finish in 4 hours, I didn’t play for nearly that long before defeating a giant blob at level twenty and calling it quits. Still, it’s a fun little game. I only wish that you could play in a larger window. Oh wait. […]

I’ve really been slacking with Free Game Friday recently. I’ll try to do better. Anyway, here’s this week’s game – two days late and without a picture. Tetoris is a giant giant game of Tetris. Imagine if the board was about twenty times bigger. Insanity. Play Tetoris

…except the name of the game does not have the word “poop” in it. Yeah, it’s juvenile. Yeah, it reminds me of some of the crude text adventures I’d played on my Commodore 64 when I was 14. And it bills itself as “survival horror”. But it’s old school in that it’s not easy. A […]

Treelings isn’t a very difficult game. I beat it in 2 or 3 minutes, and I’m not even sure there’s a way to die. But it’s very zen – kind of like Fl0w – and the hypnotic drum beat will stick in your head for the rest of the evening after you play. Play Treelings

Assteroidz is a strange but playable Asteroids clone that tries to turn the weirdness up to 11 by reskinning the original game with a Van Halen theme.  It seems a little more challenging after a few levels than the original Asteroids.  Being a not-so-serious game, it’s perfect to fill a few moments of free time […]

Yeah, it’s a blatant Zelda knockoff, but it’s a neat little game, designed by some guy at home. Instead of pixels, he used love. The game rearranged the icons on my Vista machine’s desktop, but I expect that’s because I’ve got a dual-monitor setup. Maybe it’s just because today is Friday the 13th. Who knows? […]

Closure is a cute little puzzle platformer wherein light is key. You’ll quickly learn that if something is in the dark, it essentially doesn’t exist. In that way, it’s similar to PSN’s Echochrome, which I very much loved. Play Closure
