Web game of the day: FreeRice
No, today’s game isn’t about customizing your 1998 Toyota Corolla. Don’t worry, that game is surely in the works. Instead, FreeRice is a vocabulary quiz game that’s fun for a good cause. For every answer you get correct, the site donates 20 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program to help end hunger. Is a vocabulary quiz game actually fun? It’s strangely addictive mostly due to the fact that for once in a game, your high score actually means something. Be sure to comment below with your high score.

What could be more fun than mindlessly clicking around your screen for a red button? Mindlessly clicking around your screen for a red button because you’re not smart enough to figure out the puzzle to reveal it? That’s the concept behind ButtonHunt 3. It may not be the flashiest Flash game, but it is one

Remember the good old days of learning to type? You didn’t need an Internet connection! All you needed was Mavis Beacon’s smiling face telling you to type something about a quick brown fox who jumped a lot over canines. But, alas, those simpler days are gone. Today’s hipster generation loves their Web 2.0 games, such

Interested in helping children? How altruistic of you! Now, what if you could help children and have fun at the same time? Fantastic! What if on top of all that, you could also make yourself smarter by doing so? Sound too good to be true? Joining the quickly crowded field of helping web games, Aid

What do you get when you cross Age of Empires with Halo and Lemmings? Why, Age of War of course! This little hybrid title is quite fun, if a wee bit on the difficult side. The best winning strategy seems to be to mostly play defense until the last age, and then let loose on
Web game of the day: Shuffle

Shuffle is sort of like those cheap bowling games you might have gotten as a kid. There’s a ball you pull back on in an effort to hit pins, or in this case other balls. It’s a very simple premise, but also a very fun one to kill a few minutes during your day. What’s
Web game of the day: Answer4Earth

Yes, this is basically FreeRice II: The Quickening. Regardless, Answer4Earth is still a fun game and it’s for a good cause. Answer random trivia questions and help plant a tree. What’s neat is that the difficulty of the questions auto-adjusts to how well you’re doing. It isn’t exactly how you’d like it to work maybe,
Web game of the day: Gamma Bros.

What if Robotron and Galaga met at a party, had a few too many drinks and suffered the indignity of a love child together? That offspring would look a little something like Gamma Bros., and that is not an insult to this brilliantly fun little shooter. Choose your character and then battle through waves of
Web game of the day: Guest House

What is missing from gaming today? Ask any older PC gamer and they’ll definitely tell you point and click adventure games are almost a non-existent breed these days. This is true, but they have been reborn, as of sort, online. One of the more interesting is Guest House, which puts you in a locked room
Web game of the day: The Tall Stump
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
The Tall Stump is the equivalent of a never released NES game finding its way to the Internet. Everything from the graphics to the “over before you know it” story introduction scream NES, but not the gameplay. The gameplay is a weird mix of the old and the new. The collecting of items feels old,

Owner manuals have always been freely available from bookshops and dealerships, as well as on the Internet, but the major problem has been that they tend to be pretty expensive. A new site that permits you to download them free of charge, however, means that you really don’t need to worry about the cost (which can often be as much as it costs to get a fault repaired, depending on the car you have).
