Top 5 Friday: Games That Make Us Smile

Friday, August 13th, 2010

kitty-smile

One of the the truths of life is that at some point, everybody is going to have a bad day. Another beautiful truth is that games make people happy. Combine these two things and you get games to make you smile when you are feeling down. For this blog post we take a look at some happy games that always put a smile on our faces.

I Don’t Even Game - I smile just THINKING about this game. The developer, Peter Polack, draws the funniest stick figures around. The game itself makes no sense, but is hilarious. “slow down, sir! I found spikeys!” If I could take a dream vacation, I would go to I Don’t Even Town and giggle myself stupid.
Kill the Wabbits - A little disturbing, perhaps, but Kill the Wabbits, is adorably sadistic. It makes me smile, it makes me LOL, and it makes me want to hunt wabbits!

Red Remover - I can’t help but grin when I see the smiley face of success when I successfully complete a level. It doesn’t hurt that they also cheer YAY! :) this is me right now.

Kitten Cannon - No matter how bad you think your life is, it can be worse than this cat’s. While I’d never smile at a cat’s misfortune irl, when you see this kitty go flying by it’s hard not to show off  a grin!

This is The Only Level Too - There is just something about that little blue elephant that fills me up with joy! He’s small and he’s blue and hes running around all crazy like! I’m smiling just talking about it.

Game Gossip: Facebook Gaming At Its Finest

Raspberry Fields Forever

Raspberries are a very high-maintenance plant to be growing on one’s farm. They need to be checked every two hours if you do not want them to wilt. My friend Kyle almost lost his favored fruit one afternoon, having gone to lunch at our dining hall, with only minutes to spare. We grabbed our to-go trays, and hustled out of the building, sprinting back to our dormitory. But alas, by the time we had made it back to his room, it was too late. His raspberries were gone. Kyle should have brought his laptop along with him. He could have easily accessed his FarmVille account over the green beans and sloppy joes that were being served.

Kyle is among the nearly 60 million participants in the real-time, social networking game, FarmVille. Although there has been noticeable decline in the popularity of the farm simulation, it still reigns as the most popular game on Facebook. Other simulation games have branched from Farmville, such as FrontierVille and PetVille. These games are demanding; pets must be fed, and plants must be tended to. I mean, if Facebook users weren’t already glued to the screen, waiting for newsfeed developments, they sure are now.

Another interactive game that has gained a striking popularity is Mafia Wars. Mafia Wars has its players complete “jobs” to develop different personalities of their character. All of these games are progressed by time, as well as interaction with other players. As one of the major draws to these games is the interaction with other players, Facebook serves an easy and accessible medium on which to play.

The first games to be introduced to the world of Facebook gaming were on a much smaller scale. One of the first larger games to be fashioned for the social networking site was Texas HoldEm Poker. It was put out by Zynga in 2008, and is now the second most popular game on Facebook. Within the past year, the number of Facebook users who play games, in general, as well as the number of different games have significantly increased.

Based on the current success of Facebook games, it is safe to assume that this industry will continue to gain popularity. The aforementioned social interaction incorporated into these games is thought to be a major factor in their prominence. Facebook gaming adds another dimension to not just gaming, but also social networking as a whole. Connecting people around the country and around the world, social networking games as a whole are now, practically, a fixture in entertainment.

Other aspects of pop culture are even being ever infused into the world of Facebook gaming. We see this in MTV’s latest addition to the Facebook Games family, The Jersey Shore Game. This game is based on the wildly popular MTV show that depicts aspects of “guido” and “guidette” life. The game allows you to fist pump and throw pickles at your friends on Facebook. CLICK HERE to play the Jersey Shore game on Facebook!

So, whether you’re plowing your plot of land, or you’re laying down a full house in a game of Poker, you can always find something to occupy your time with Facebook games. You can find out what games your friends are playing, and interact with them within the game. If you’re anything like my friend Kyle, you might have to start scheduling your day around it.

Games That Would Be Better With Snipers!

Monday, August 9th, 2010

I only need one bullet!


AddictingGames
players like a wide variety of games. They have sophisticated tastes in free online games, enjoying everything from dressing up for dates to cooking for zombies. But there’s one ingredient that seems to make every game a little sweeter: snipers. (Well, Katie Perry would probably improve some of these games, but she won’t return our calls)
That’s right – add a sniper scope and a high-powered rifle, and even the tamest game has potential to satisfy your bloodlust. So, we propose a few mashups. Great games, really great games. But they could be better with a few well-placed headshots. Agreed? Ok, then write and tell us what games could use a few snipers ftw!
Bloxorz
Like a sleeping roommate, you spend your time in this free online puzzle game moving a big lump out of your way. Like a smelly, sleeping roommate, the best solution is to remove him entirely! Tip and roll your drooling, snoring block of flesh to a convenient trap door, and say goodbye. Now, imagine how much quicker this would go if you could, say, open new trap doors? Make that one big lump into many tiny lumps? Just add sniper!
Escape the Ship of Doom
The Ship of Doom marks the second time that you have escaped from Dr. Minstrel, and the third time he’s trapped you again. Do you really want to keep trying to get away from the evil doctor? Great free online escape games, yes, but somehow, there’s no happy ending. If only…if only, instead of finding bits of wire and gum and having to think your way out, what if you found a nice, loaded rifle? Goodbye, evil Dr. Minstrel!
Destroy All Cars
No sound is sweeter than two cars smashing together. First, the screeching of tires that says, “too little, too late.” And then, the symphony of metal smashing, glass shattering creates a lovely symphony. But how can we speed this process up? Why do I have to carefully aim cars in this free online smash-o-rama? I know: I’ll shoot out the tires! Hand me that sniper rifle, the Duct Tape of Online Games!
