Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Well I hope everybody had an amazing Halloween filled with good times and lots of candy. That however was last week and now we have to move on with our lives and get back to normal.

It’s up to you to get rid of the unwanted pumpkins and because this can get tricky, I have included a very helpful video walkthrough to ensure you get the job done! Just a heads up, levels 13 and 20 are tricky with or with out the video so don’t get too frustrated if those levels take a while! Good luck and if you liked this game, give Red Remover a try! It’s just more the same great stuff from AddictingGames.com.

Last Minute Halloween Costumes From AddictingGames

Thursday, October 29th, 2009
What should I be??

What should I be??

With the big night just 2 days away I’m sure most of you already know what you are going to be for Halloween. However, I know that there are many people out there just like myself who always wait till the last minute to figure out their costume. For this post I’m going to give you some ideas on costumes you can put together from our games using stuff around the house. Here are some great costumes that you can pull off using some of our most classic characters.

red-remover Red Box - Red Remover

This is probably the easiest costume you could ever put together. All you need is a box and then some red paint or markers and a black marker to draw on a face! You can hit the town and tell people all about how you have spent hours trying to get rid of all the red. Find some friends to play along and you guys could make your own live action levels! If you actually do this, shoot a video and send it to us! I’d love to see that!

stick Stick Figure - Stick Wars

The Stick figure is a very under rated Halloween costume! You can be a stick-any thing! All you need is a full set of black clothes, a black ski mask with small eyes cut out or you can black your face out with make-up or face paint. Then grab your favorite weapon and lead your trick or treating party to war as the bravest stick on the block!

zombie TP Mummy - Throw Ancient Stuff

The Toilet Paper Mummy is always in your back pocket if you just can’t think of anything else! This is another fun costume to do as a group because the more mummies running around grunting the better! If you don’t have some extra tp at the house, 4 Packs of toilet paper can be found at most supermarkets or corner stores for around a dollar so the price is right for sure! Once you have your toilet paper, wrap your self up silly and you are good to go!

ghost Ghost - Boo

Probably the most classic Halloween costume ever is the bed sheet ghost. While it may seem lame and plain it’s up to you to make it different. Try using some colorful sheets. You can be a confused ghost or if the sheets have polka-dots you can be a sick ghost! It’s up to you to make the costume great because while you are dressing up as something else, it’s your personality that will shine through. This one is great for scaring little kids too!

So if you still don’t have a costume after this don’t worry! We have 3,000 games on AddictingGames.com and that means tons of different characters are out there to inspire you for this Saturday night. You can’t lose with AG!

Walkthrough Wednesday: Escape 2: The Closet

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Get me out of here!!

Get me out of here!!

You think The closet should be harmless enough right? I mean there’s nothing in there but some clothes, some books, and maybe a couple of dusty boxes. But you cant underestimate the unknown. It’s kind of like that little light in the fridge. Do we really know what goes on when the door closes? I mean any door can get stuck or lock by it’s self right? It happens in movies all the time!

In Escape 2:  The Closet it has happened again and it’s up to you to escape before you die of boredom!! Luckily EnjoiMyBladeshas has created this video walkthrough for Escape 2: The Closet to ensure that you don’t stay stuck in their for too long! We wouldn’t want you to start smelling like moth balls or anything! Give the game a try and use the walkthrough if you get stuck! Also you can get step my step instructions on how to get out of the closet here.

See you next week for another Addicting Walkthrough Wednesday!

Top 5 Friday: Games You Should Play!

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!

Fall Fall Fall Fall Fall!

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

What if you had to rake all those up!

What if you had to rake all those up!

The leaves have started to change colors and slowly make their way to the ground. Soon jackets and boots will replace tank tops and flip flops and we will remember what pumpkin spice latte tastes like (just me?).  And the idea of staying indoors bundling up on the couch to play hours of online games is a welcomed activity and one that I take seriously.

So friends, let’s fall into fall by falling.

Fall Down 2
All this little ball wants to do is to continually fall through the cracks, use your arrow keys to do just that. If the ball gets stuck on the ledge and goes off screen, you lose. Play easy, medium or hard. The challenge is up to you.

falldown-2

Stair Fall
Take a tumble down the stairs and see how messed up the poor little stick figure can get. Figure out the most effective way to cause the most damage/pain and earn more points.
