Gorgeous Time Consumer
Posted on December 27, 2006
Winterbells is an absolutely gorgeous flash diversion. It falls into the same category as the other flash games that are unbelievably simple, but, at the same time, will devour your time as you find you are addicted to bouncing around on gorgeously rendered bells.
This mouse-driven game has you guiding a bunny as he hops from bell to bell. Each acts as a sort of trampoline to get you to the next one. You don’t technically need to bounce on the bells, you can bounce through them, too. Oh, and using birds as springboards earns you double points.
The game also records your high score, so you can, in effect, try to beat your own best score. Unless, of course, other people are also playing on your machine. Then you’d be competing against them.
The graphics make this flash game stand out, so much so that the first time you play you’ll be drooling. And the gameplay makes it stick.
Winterbells is from a website by Ferry Halim called Orisinal. Her other games are equally beautiful and playable. Thanks to Carina for the tip!

Best Undownloadable Games for under $20
Posted on December 20, 2006
Christmas is on Monday. Today’s your LAST chance to get anything by Dec. 22 if you order from Amazon. So get your last minute on-line shopping done and over with. Here’s my suggestion of fun, yet amazingly cheap, games playable on any home or handheld console. (In no particular order, might I add).
Escape from Monkey Island — Windows ($19 from Amazon Sellers)
This jewel case version for Windows (it works on XP, if anyone’s wondering, although it’s made for older versions) is a little wonky with the controls, but still has that genuine Monkey Island humor to it. You play as Guybrush Threepwood (Mighty Pirate) as he wanders (erm… sails) through the Caribbean trying to bring his wife back from being legally declared dead. And other mishaps leads him back to that place he was before: Monkey Island. Fun all around.
Sidenote: Okay, fanboys, eat me up now, since I know you think this is the worst of the Monkey Island series. Read more
Nintendo’s version of an advent calendar
Posted on December 16, 2006
Fun for everyone as you play as a snowman in Nintendo’s version of an advent calendar. So, yes, it is month-long advertisement for various Nintendo games. But the levels are entertaining and there’s a new one everyday.
(Sorry that I posted this so late in the month) Also, I forgot the link. [Thanks, Travis!]
