Top 5 Friday: Great Games That Begin with the Letter G

Friday, June 4th, 2010

The Green Goddess of Games

Goodness Gracious! We love our letters, and G is a special case. Because you can pronounce it like “giant” or like “giggle.” Hard or soft, a fine letter. And it appears at the front end of some of our favorite games!

Grok these gracious and gruesome games, while contemplating the Seventh Letter. Can you uncover the secret message?



Get Off My Lawn

You punks! After all the time I spend grooming my grassy patch, these little creeps come to ruin my hard work! Fortunately, my power mower makes mincemeat of my little enemies in this online defense game. And, of course, the upgrade store fulfills all my bloodiest dreams…

Gimme Friction Baby

Friction provided free of charge! In this online shooting game, you need to destroy bubbles. How? By making bubbles, and smashing them together! Sounds easy-peasy, but the bubbles don’t pop quickly. You have to hit them over and over…

Gangsters War

When criminals get organized, blood is going to spill. This online strategy game pits the Russian Mafia against homegrown street gangs. Choose a gang and battle to control the city. But you better bring friends.

Game, Game, Game and again Game

Is it interactive art, or is it actually a game? The name isn’t helping here. Strap on your Artist Goggles and step into a nutty meta exploration. Online adventure games don’t get much more conceptual than this!

Greyhound Tycoon

In real life, greyhound racing is pretty sad. But that’s why we make games! In this online dog-racing simulator, a Happy Dog is a Fast Dog. You’ll need to pamper your prize hound to succeed. And don’t forget to check out the petting zoo!

AG <3’s Cats

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start.

If the Internet has taught us anything, its that cats (especially the LOL variety) are gold.  Cats are quickly becoming the new dogs.  They come off as all high and mighty but the second they see the spotlight of a laser pointer running along the wall they freak out.  This hilarity has been fascinating the online community for a while now in the form of videos forwarded from co-workers and family members alike with emails such as “Funniest Cat on the Internet” and “Kitty Takes a Bath”. And you know what? We watch it and we laugh.  And here at AG we are no different.  We love cats.  We love cats in video games and more importantly we love to share the cats with you, our feline loving pals.

Castle Cat 3 - This cat needs a fix only the lure of Las Vegas can cure.  Help the kitty get past the snakes and aliens in the dessert so he can play the slots in the sea of lights and Elvis impersonators we know as The Vegas Strip.

Cat-Vac - What is a more humane way of getting rid of feral cats then the pleasant suction of a vacuum? Nothing, that’s what.  Save the kitty’s from the dogs of doom and gently suck them to safety.

Sinta - Help Sinta navigate through the castle and shoot bow and arrows at the poisonous snakes.  Wait. A cat, with a bow and arrow?  Adorable!

Top 5 Friday: Games My Friends Play

Friday, May 14th, 2010
Hi Friend. Whatcha' Playin'?

Hi Friend. Whatcha' Playin'?

What is the fun of gaming if you can’t share it with the ones you call your friends (facebook or otherwise).  Nothing, that is what!  The best part about logging into my AG profile is to see what my friends have been up to, who has beat my already high score or who wants to challenge me to a duel of the gaming variety.  So I said to my friends today, “Hey Friends! What is your favorite game on AddictingGames.com” and  they came up with this stellar list.

Sushi Cat - Dana works at Shockwave.com (and sits across from me) so she knows a thing or two about games.  She is also part Japanese so she knows a thing or two about Maneki Neko and this lovable cat. Play Dana’s favorite game and help Sushi Cat eat all the sushi so he can find his true love.

Bubble Tanks Tower Defense – My friend Morgan is a technical man.  He speaks a language I will never understand.  So it makes sense that he would love a game where you need to fend off your enimies by placing tower combinations to protect yourself.  Defend on, Morgan… defend on!

Full Moon – My cousin Kyle is one of the coolest dudes I know.  He is two years younger than me and about 2 feet taller. He is the type of guy you should listen to if for no other reason than his height. So when he says play “Full Moon” you should listen to him.

Bloxorz – My friend Kelly is very competitive and when I told her I was addicted to a game called Bloxorz she had to play and not only did she play she beat the game… before me.  She is the winner on this one but if anyone can beat this puzzling block game in less than a week I will crown you the winner.

Mort the Sniper – I know a guy named Bryan, who likes Mort the Sniper, who also just so happened to be our 10,000 fan on Facebook.  So here is a quick shoutout to him being both a friend of mine and friend of AG!

Now that you know what my friends play, you should ask your friends what they like to play.  It might be a game you already love or one you’ve never heard of (we have over 3,000 free games so that is possible).  As always, keep gaming and stay classy.

Top 5 Friday: Get Your Puzzle On!

Friday, March 5th, 2010

That piece looks delicious!

That piece looks delicious!

Today, we exercise the most powerful organ in your body: the Brain! Of course zombies like to eat brains; they’re very fatty and taste like butter when you sauté them in a skillet. And how do we make our brains even fatter and tastier? Free-range, organic living! And plenty of brain calisthenics. When we say “calisthenics,” what we mean is free online puzzle games, naturally.

It is extremely hard to make your brain do curls or run laps, so instead, we make you think. How? By PUZZLE. Put your brizzle to the pizzle baby! Have fun with our top 5 Puzzlers for this Friday!

Whizz Wordz
Calling all smartypants! Go ahead, demonstrate how many fancy words you know. A bogglish grid of letters is yours to work with – find words fast. With each round, you choose the category: like “three letter words” or “I used everything in the grid.” Now you have to think about letters and words, show off!

Full Moon
Rabbits don’t need no stupid spelling skills! Use a different brain muscle to puzzle through the rabbit’s requests. It’s a clicky adventure, for sure: no spelling required. But you get a great warm fuzzy feeling when you help a bunny out. Pay it forward, Brother Rabbit.

Red Remover
OK, this game is NOT about washing blood out of your carpet. Instead, you need to carefully deconstruct towers. Eliminate what is red. Conserve what is green. It’s so zen, it hurts.

Filler
How puzzleful is this game? It was made by a dude called Simian Logic. Whoa, dude. Fill empty space with big bubbles. Avoid annoying pests that wreck your fun. Put this in your puzzle hole!

Mind the Blox
Some match three games are just too easy. Not this one. Why? Because your cubes have Magic Powers! Skulls make skulls. Eaters eat everything! Don’t even ask what the red mushrooms do. Just turn your brain up to 11 and puzzle out!

Escape Games 101 or, Why Am I In Here, and How Do I Get Out?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
noescape

O RLY?

What is it with you people and your escape games? No matter how scary we make them, no matter how far-fetched the premise, you keep escaping! OK fine. You know why you like these free online escape games. You get to be smart, and (usually) you can work at your own pace. After all, you’re trapped! You’re not going anywhere, so you might as well get smart.

“How does it work?”

Start by Observing. Search the place you’re in. Not all doors are locked, after all. Gather Stuff! Inevitably, there’s bits and pieces of wire and string and old tools and shovels and batteries and loose buttons. Fill your virtual pockets like a total hoarder, because all of these things are going to be totally useful.
Solve Clues. If your prison has been occupied by an insane person, or a scientist who has disappeared, or maybe a missing cat, there are usually clues around. Diaries, calendars, scraps of paper – when you find a bunch of numbers that make no sense, hang onto them! Somewhere, there will be a safe or a computer or a combination lock, and then who’s going to be all prepared? Yeah, you! Jam Stuff Together. All that great stuff you gathered? The hairspray and the roller skate? Use them for escapery! Sometimes, it’s obvious. The crowbar is really good for prying boards off of windows. Sometimes, though, you need to experiment. Batteries + Wire + Lightbulb = Flashlight! And then, my friend, you are an escaping fool. Congratulations.

“But what about walkthroughs?”

Really? Some people swear that walkthroughs are cheating. And some people don’t have a problem with cheating. But when you’re trapped in Real Life in a tree house in a haunted forest surrounded by vampire bears, chances are, you won’t get a walkthrough then. Nope. Tough Love in Escape the Haunted Tree House Surrounded by Vampire Bears.

“Which is the perfect escape game for me?”
Well, we have all kinds. All AWESOME kinds of escape games.

You like scary escapes? Try these.

Meat Mansion
Escape the Dungeon
Escape the Bomb

You like cute escapes?

Gretel and Hansel
Charger Escape
Escape Paris

You like weird, beautiful, hard escapes?

Little Wheel
Submachine 3: The Loop
Synapsis

You like OMGWTFBBQ escapes?

Escape: the Bathroom
LOLCat Escape
Escape from the Oval Office

No go and get your butt out of here! Good luck!
