Top 5 Friday: Reasons To Get Behind The Wheel!

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Vroooom!

Getting behind the wheel of a sweet ride, putting the pedal to the medal and feeling the shaking vibration of the steering wheel is…well it’s pretty scary. For those “not so adrenaline junkies” might I suggest a few tasty bits from the AG library o’ racing?

4 Wheel Madness
Use the arrow keys to navigate the complex course of dirt hills and cars. Try, just try to make it to the end.

moto Moto Rush 2
Racing is life!! And nobody does it better than a ninja on a motorbike. Use the arrow keys to navigate the course. When you get too good for this game, make your own course and show us how a real racer gets it done.

Drag Race Demon
Are you a Drag Race Demon?! Earn money for winning the race and then use that money to pimp your ride. They don’t give out honorable mentions for second place so you better win!

The Heist
Maneuver the roads and complete missions given to you by a man in a fancy suit. How much collateral damage can you cause… play The Heist and find out!

Pencil Racer 3 - Drive It!
None of these prefab games strike your fancy. That’s fine by us because you can make your own game! Go on, give a shot.

Top 5 Friday: Rock Star Fantasy Games

Friday, November 6th, 2009
I WANNA ROCK!

I WANNA ROCK!

Alright, gamers, let’s have a heart to heart. How many of you are band nerds? Perhaps show choir nerds? Do you spend your days studying your John Philip Sousa pieces, preparing for the next band concert, or diligently perfecting your jazz hands? I won’t hold it against you, you guys, as I was also a complete and total band nerd. I happily signed up for marching band, and was usually the first to arrive in band class. I could play all my major scales on my saxophone before most other students, and used my break time to study and practice arpeggios. Never let anyone tell you being a band nerd is anything less than cool, because you know what we have that other people don’t?

The ability to relate to rock stars.

No matter how small, every band nerd has a secret desire to be a rock star. Whether it’s Lady GaGa, Avenged Sevenfold, or Josh Groban, we all want to be on stage performing, having the audience loving every second of our performance. And truthfully, we understand the pressure rock stars face, we know the level of dedication it takes, and we know how many bad decisions it takes to rock out with your socks out.

So, dear gamers, here are the top five rock star fantasy games on AddictingGames. Hey, if RPG dorks can have their moments, why can’t we??

5- My Party Band

Ah, bass, drums, and guitar. So simple, yet so effective. Imagine, if you can, performing on a stage with your two best friends, bringing the rock and being the roll. You and your buddies are the ultimate rock stars in this game, and the sweet riffs you get to pick from solidify that fact!

4- Celebrity Smackdown

No true rock star has made it until they have a public feud with a celebrity. It confirms your ability to kick some butt, and rock out while doing so! Did your tuba get stolen by a jock? Were you walking to your locker for wearing your band or choir uniform? Get your revenge out fantasy style in Celebrity Smackdown!

3- Stick Band
Similar to My Party Band, but just that much more challenging. Test your rocking out skills with Stick Band, and be the ultimate Stick Rocker!

2- Dress to Rock
The best thing about being a rock star is being able to wear crazy clothes, and getting away with it. It also is the most important. Test your rock star style knowledge in Dress to Rock, and wear your Mohawk with pride!

1- Rock Band Rampage
Did you say you didn’t want to see any green M&M’s backstage? Did you request 3-foot lavender candles, and exactly twenty-seven bottles of sparkling water? Were none of these requests met? Well, take your rage out in Rock Band Rampage, and show those show promoters who the rock star of this venue is!!

Top 5 Friday: Gross Games

Friday, October 23rd, 2009
Disgusting!!!

Disgusting!!!

If there’s one thing we understand at AddictingGames, it’s gross. Why? Because the distance between gross and hilarious is paper-thin. If it grosses you out, it probably makes you laugh. Parasites, primitive surgery, bodily fluids and ugly naked bodies: we’ve got it all! Select the nastiness that you want to experiment with, and get ugly with it!

We’ve done you one big favor, though. We turned off the smell on all of these games. Trust us, you don’t want to know.

Dark Cut 2
Battlefield sleeurgery without anesthesia? Where do I sign up?

Leech
Suck blood from people stupid enough to wade through your river.

Porta-Pusher
Knock over porta-potties? That sounds sanitary. And delicious!

Spewer
At last, a game where vomiting is vital! Puke your way to fame and glory!

Twisted Nips
It hurts as much as it sounds like.



Top 5 Friday: Games You Should Play!

Friday, October 16th, 2009

5 games you will love to play again and again!

5 games you will love to play again and again!

With thousands of different games to chose from on AddictingGames.com, we know it can be tough to find the right game to play. While I think all of our games have something special about them, that doesn’t mean you will love them all. To help you figure out what to play, the AddictingGames.com have put together this post with some recommendations that we know you will just love. Part of what we do is play games every day so who better to recommend some great games then the folks who love them the most! Here are 5 games we know you should be playing right now!


Megan:

Untangle

I’m a puzzle gamer, there I said it. I love puzzles. And I love Untangle! It reminds me of untangling a necklace which is secretly one of my favorite activities. I have tried to walk away from the knotted heap and you know what, I can’t. I also can’t walk away from this game. The amount of satisfaction I get from completing a task such as untangling a necklace or a few lines on a computer screen is astronomical and you can have that feeling too! Just move the dots so the lines don’t touch and try to walk away.

Zip:

Escape the Red Giant

I am obsessed with this game. I now have dreams about stars going supernova. It took me a month to get past Saturn. It’s sort of like a hop-to-the-top game, but with angular momentum. Try landing on a moon with your L/R key already hit; you can whip up some profound speed and relaunch. But it’s HARD! I’m nowhere close to hitting the leader boards…

Anya

Capital Caveman

A game that combines cavemen, aliens, and PunchOut, you say?? Why, yes, we have that on AddictingGames with Capital Caveman! While yes, simplistic, this game provides a sense of awesomeness , as you repeatedly make a caveman opponent take a beat-down. With three modes, Capital Caveman fulfills the need for every experience of gamer, and has fantastic art!Seriously, guys, this game is awesome. And make sure you play extra hard on the Forest level. That dude is mad scary!

Ben

Cyclomaniacs

When it comes to quenching my gaming thirst I need a fast game with clean style! That’s why I spent countless hours playing Cyclomaniacs! This awesome racer puts you up against other people in a variety of crazy places. Each race has it’s own unique backgrounds which really keep me from getting to bored. I love the art and the music is kinda fun too. For a super fun racer with premo art, you can;t go wrong with Cyclomaniacs!

Blade Striker

This is another great action style shoot um up game that really just makes me excited! My inner Rambo takes over as you make your way through hostile jungles taking out enemies at every turn! When i need to get pumped up, I can always count on Blade Striker and now you can too!

Top 5 Friday: Puzzle Games!

Friday, October 9th, 2009
So much hot Puzzle action!

So much hot Puzzle action!

Me Love Puzzle! Did you know the first jigsaw puzzle was made in 1760 when a mapmaker mounted a map on a piece of wood and sawed around each country essentially creating the first 50 States? It’s true, I looked it up. We have come a long way from that wooden map to some awesomely difficult but addicting puzzles. All day long we are doing puzzles whether it’s of the crossword variety or this silly Rubik’s Cube that has been sitting undone on my desk for years, puzzles are everywhere. Check out the Top 5 Puzzle Games on AddictingGames.com!

Red Remover
It’s simple and all in the title. All you have to do is remove the red by clicking on the red pieces but don’t lose any of your beloved green pieces in the process.

Squzzle
Tetris meets puzzle. Place the puzzle pieces in one of four boxes, once its filled the box clears, fill up a box with all the same color pieces and you clear that level. Plus it’s a high score so you can play against your friends or your favorite blogger…

Whizz Wordz
If you can spell a word, you can play this game. Spell out words to fulfill each category and see how many points you can get. Turns out LOL isn’t a word. Who knew?

Mahjongg
Oh Mahjongg, what would I have done in life without you? You helped me get through many lectures in college and I thank you. Simply click on matching pairs of numbered tiles so there are none left, easy to play but hard to master.

50 States
And of course 50 States! Now I know where Kansas, West Virginia and North Carolina are located. Learning and playing is a wonderful concept. You can learn and play on the iPhone or iPod touch.

Top 5 Friday: Top 5 Flash Games Of All Time (According To Your Plays)

The Best Flash Games Around!

The Best Flash Games Around!

It’s National Video Game Day!

Actually, it’s tomorrow. But I’m excited (and don’t work on weekends) so I will tell you about it today. Over at blog headquarters, we slave away researching topics of interest, fun facts and playing hours and hours of games so we only give you the very best. But we don’t do all the work. You play the games, you comment on the games and you tell your friends about the games. So on the eve of National Video Game Day I thought I would get my inspiration from the AG community. We appreciate you for your continued support and bring you our Top 5 Played Games of all time.

Max Dirt Bike

Use the arrow keys to navigate through the bumps and jumps of motocross and if you fall, try again. The only injuries you can sustain are to your pointer, middle and ring finger. It’s the type of sport your mother wants you to play.

Bowman 2

Use your mouse to shoot an arrow, aim for birds, people or just practice. Just try not to be the target.

PacXon

Stay away from the ghosts, eat the food and cover 80% of the game board. It’s simple and yet so addicting!

The Impossible Quiz

Talk about a time consuming game. I still don’t understand most of the answers or how I got to the correct one and yet I continue to play, over and over and over and over…. Well you get it.

Mini Putt

The other day Ben and I hit up mini-golf and I got a hole in one. Thank you Mini-Putt… good and good for you!

Friday, September 4th, 2009

Some of the biggest and baddest games on AddictingGames.com have to be the shooters! Nothing gets me going more then taking out a target from miles away with one shot! Because of this I have decided it’s time to showcase our sharpest shooters in this weeks Top 5 Friday! These are the top 5 shooters on the whole site according to the number of plays. Do you think they are the best? Which ones would you have added? Let us know!

Bowman 2

Aim just below the apple. Your best shot is through the other guy’s head.
Play Bowman 2!


Champion Archer

Your life depends on your aim with arrows. Will you be able to slay enough stick soldiers to grab the illustrious quick shot?
Play Champion Archer


Clear Vision

Other snipers wet their pants just hearing his name! Meaty missions with fantastic firepower, dude!
Play Clear Vision


Tactical Assassin

It’s almost like being hired by Tony Soprano. Use your aim and stealth to take out the targets, but don’t hit any civilians.
Play Tactical Assassin


Endless War 3

Sometimes it comes down to using your buddy as a bullet shield. Go after the enemy before he comes after you.
Play Endless War 3

Top 5 Friday: Stay Cool With AddictingGames.com!

Friday, August 14th, 2009

bigwave

It’s August, it’s hot and we could all use a respite from this summer heat. We know a thing or two about how to keep cool and while we aren’t doctors we have just the cure for your summer heatstroke. AG’s Games to keep you cool….

I feel bad for Penguins since they are the lone flightless bird but these fancy feathered friends have such the drive and desire to take flight, with a running start of course. Use gliders or rockets just teach these little guys how to fly.
Play learn To Fly!

The first snow fall is a few months away but you can practice your snowball throwing skills in Snow Blitz, no matter the weather or the heat index. It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye so you better make sure it’s not you.
Play Snow Blitz!

Nothing says chill like the beach, waves and tan lines. For those of you who are landlocked or have yet to hang ten (like me!) you can still rock the surf. Stay afloat while making some gnarly jumps and see how long you can last, dude.
Play Legend Of Surf

Park the Boat without hitting the many hazards in the marina which is easier said than done. If boats aren’t your thing or you don’t know who to swim, try Parking Lot, it’s the same song just a different tune.
Play Park The Boat

In Snowball Hill a small one pound snowball starts a journey downhill and the goal is to hit things left and right, like people, dogs, the abominable snow man… just avoid the trees or houses and try to get the biggest and badest snowball in the world.
Play Snowball Hill

Make your farts work for you! Trapped in an underground Lair of Mystery, you have only one weapon to defend yourself. Your own stinky discharge! Fortunately, canned beans abound. You’ll need all the refueling you can get!
