Top 5 Friday: Platform Games

Friday, August 6th, 2010

Now that's a fine platform!

Today our blogger Anya breaks down five of her favorite platform games.


Platformer games are challenging, fun, and wait for it… totally addicting! Take, for example, Fancy Pants Adventure. A combo of stick figures, challenges, and running? Oh, and literally the most amazing MC Hammer pants since MC Hammer himself. Epic win!

Or how about Gangsta Bean? While the food may be “fast”, it’s no match for The Bean!
Oh, low-fi platformer, you ask? I bring you Adventures of the Dude . This dude is the dude of all dudes, and he will out dude you in this game. Dude.
My favorite aspect of platformer games are the creativity. We see a multitude of different platformer games here at AddictingGames, but Go To Hell stuck out in my mind. The creativity, the hurdles, the all around insane concept? Platformer heaaaaven.

Lastly we have Trap Master, one of the newest additions to AddictingGames. It’s twisted, it’s dark, and it’s a platformer. Play it!

Top 5 Friday: Build-A-Games

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Build it bigger, build it better, build it crazier!!!

Welcome back to Top 5 Friday! This week we take a look at some games that have really built up their reputations on AG for being solid games with solid structures. Take a look at these construction centered games and let us know which on is your favorite in the comments.

Building Blaster – What is the fun of a building if you can’t eventually blow it up? Place explosives and say bye-bye to your building!

Isoball 2 – The little ball needs to find his little home. Help the little ball by building the perfect ramp to help him get a hole in one.

99 Bricks – I got 99 problems but a brick ain’t one. Place 99 falling blocks in what can only be described as a super tower, but watch out they fall off the sides.

Build It! Miami Beach Resort - I’m in Miami trick! Art-deco hotels and condos are just waiting to become the new hip spot and it’s up to you to build it up!

Build a Robot 3 – Buildings not your thing? That’s cool, man. Build a Robot! I bet my robot is better than your robot. And smarter too.

Top 5 Friday: Games For The Great Outdoors

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Fresh air and fresh games!

It’s summertime, friends, which means it’s time to be outside, enjoying nature! Trees, flowers, hiking, rock climbing- you name it! Or, if you’re less adventurous, lake side lounging or napping in the cabin. Personally, I enjoy the jet skis. How fun is that??

5- Marina Races
Houseboats are the best! Could you imagine houseboat racing? Actually, that sounds like a horrible idea. Let’s just stick with racing race boats. Outside.

4- Gunny Bunny
Hunting is outdoorsy, and hunting as a vigilante bunny is even better! I’m not sure why this bunny went rogue, but he’s pretty awesome. And you’re outdoors. Bonus.

3- Tubing on Lake
Yee-haw! We’re goin’ tubin’ y’all! I’ve been tubing twice in my life, once in Montana, floating down a river, and once in the California mountains, being pulled by a speedboat. I’ll let you guess which was more relaxing. Hint, it wasn’t the speedboat.

2- Fishing Champion
You can’t get any closer to the great outdoors than catching a fresh fish for dinner. Well, I guess you could whittle/create your own spear out of wood and rock, deep sea dive, and catch a fish…. You can get pretty close to the great outdoors with catching a fresh fish by fishing!

1- Escape Camp Crystal Lake
No outdoor adventure is complete without camping and scary ghost stories. Did you hear the one about the girl who left a window unlocked at night, even though her parents told her to lock EVERY single window? Or the one about the teenage kids who were driving down a dark, deserted road and a guy with a hook jumped on top of their car? Totally true stories, you guys.”

Top 5 Friday: Games Starring Birds

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Birds. They can fly, they got feathers, and they used to be dinosaurs. Isn’t that enough? What else do you people want? Play these games and learn some respect for your avian cousins, you simian ground huggers.

Nuclear Eagle
One of the ugly facts of life is that baby wolves gotta eat too. In this online flying game, you play as a mother eagle – mother RADIOACTIVE eagle – caring for her baby chicks. And what do you feed giant nuclear eagle baby birds? That’s right: delicious humans! They’re fat and pretty easy to catch. Swoop down on unsuspecting apes and feed them to your hungry chillums!

Endless Migration
Ah, Canadian Geese. They’re big, they’re noisy, and they leave their goose crap everywhere. But they are also champion flyers. Through this online flying game, you lead a flock of geese on an…wait for it…Endless Migration. Acquire extra geese, especially the swans. Avoid the many aerial hazards, like thunderstorms and blimps. And, of course, you can Upgrade Your Goose. How awesome is that? In a perfect northbound Zen exercise, take flight with these gentle Canadian giants!

A Crow in Hell
An online flying game set in Hades? Tell me more! Mr. Crow has, through no fault of his own, been cast into the nether regions. You, mortal soul, must aid him in a return to the land of the living. Demons and frightening obstacles of course: that’s why they call it Hell. This game is hard, and scary. But surely saving the soul of one brave bird is worth the danger?

Learn to Fly
Penguins, as you may have heard, can’t fly. They swim like fishes, and waddle on land, but they don’t fly. Yet. In this online flying game, you become the Penguin with the Ambition, the Drive, the Determination to go where no penguin has gone before: airborne! Launch yourself skyward, do your best to land clean, and then purchase technology to overcome your natural tendency to drop like a stone.

Fowl Play
No matter how much you enjoy birds, once in a while, you need to rattle their cage. In this online flying game, turn the tables and give the pigeons a taste of their own medicine. Or to be more specific, you get to poop on the birds. Really. If you hate birds, this is the game for you. I won’t even tell you what happens if you fly into them…

P.S. The bird is the word!!!

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.
