The Aisle is a very different type of game. It’s a text adventure, but the entire game consists of a single decision, and thus takes less than a minute to play. You’re in a supermarket looking at pasta. What will you do? Pick up the pasta? Move away? Eat the pasta raw? Sexually assault other […]

They call it “Bubble Bobble: The Revival”. All I know is that it’s got the same old music I remember from playing Bubble Bobble on my Commodore 64. If you remember Bubble Bobble, maybe you’ll get as much of a kick as I do from this game. Play Bubble Bobble

I spent a while longer playing Hobo than I do most Free Game Friday titles. It’s addictive. It’s essentially an old skool beam-em-up wherein you play the titular hobo, running through a city beating up everyone in sight. Your combos include spitting on people, blowing boogies at them, and the dreaded vomit attack. Play Hobo

I heard this game mentioned recently on a podcast when Plants vs Zombies came up in a conversation, so I decided to check it out. While I don’t think Garden Defense isn’t as good a game as PvZ, it is a fairly good little tower defense game. Play Garden Defense

I’ll admit – it was the bizarre name that caught my attention. The premise is that you vault your sheep through the level using mines as propulsion, while avoiding landing on bear traps. It’s quite bizarre. Play Traps, Mines, and a Sheep

Actually, this is some kind of Arkanoid/Breakout clone, but it plays just like Arkanoid. And it’s as addictive as ever. Play Arkanoid

Okay, so maybe I’m a year late to the party on You Have to Burn the Rope, but there’s a story behind that. The first time I tried it, despite it being perhaps the easiest game ever written, I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t figure out how to play. I later figured out that this […]

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 […]
