I've always been a video game fan, though I never got into the hardcore gaming world. I'm more of a casual gamer. In the past, I have been known to spend hours in front of a TV screen with an NES or Playstation gaming system, wasting (entertaining?) my days away. I have since, gotten older and "wiser". I don't play much video games on a regular basis anymore, though I do enjoy a quick break from my routine with on the go games or a quick game with the below titles.
These are all "Flash games" that I have come upon in the last several years. They are very creative games and I have enjoyed them for one reason or another.
- Flow - a very original game when it came out. This is an online version and it can eat up several hours of your time. Play with caution ;)
- Chronotron - an original puzzle game based on the concept of time travel, one of my current favorites!
- Portal flash version - Portal was one of last year's surprise hits. This is a 2D version of the game and plays well, though I've gotten stuck in one of the earlier levels.
- Bloons Tower Defense - There are many Tower defense type games out there. This one is based on the Bloons (yes it's spelled that way) characters.
- Bloons - Pop the Balloons! Play as a balloon popping monkey! This is addictive and fun! Very much like Puzzle Bobble or Circle Popper from my Blackberry games list.
- N - This is a great 2D puzzle game with a great Physics engine. Try it, you'll like it! It reminds me of Megaman. You can download a copy for your PC, Mac or Linux computer.
- Filler - Just found this one recently. Its a rehash of an old game, but done very well.
Kongregate
Addicting Games
GamePro Free Games

Thanks for the link. Looks like it's got a good number of games there.
Flow has been banned in our house. We're suckers for good games.
Hi Gina,
Flow is a great game! Now that you mention it, the kids have not seen it yet. Probably for the better ;)
thanks for the visit!
