Cubicle Freakout

Use your anger in a positive way and play Cubicle Freakout. As you can tell from the picture, you can look pretty crazy when you loose your temper. I don’t know about the re-playability of this game, but at least it’s something to get your mind off that TPS report you’re working on while sitting in that tiny cubicle. Or just take a nap.

(With that fuzzy hair and big eyes, he reminds me of the Honeycomb Craver.)

Kdice

kdice is a browser-based, multi-player strategy with really simple gameplay.

Kdice is a free, online, turn-based, strategy game that you play on your browser and is like a simplified version of Risk. The goal of the game is to control the highest number of territories on the map at the end of the game. Now I’ve not played this game yet, but it’s been around for a couple of years and has over 70,000 registered players, so I imagine the game is pretty good and probably addictive.

Note: I’m really big into games of strategy, chance and psychology. Plus the geek in me is also interested in this game as it is an Ajax-based Flash game built using the Google Web Toolkit. That’s some nice programming.

Grow Island

Grow Island from the Japanese creator of the infamous Grow series.

It’s another great Grow game - GROW Island. As with previous Grow games there’s more than one way to win and it’s all about the sequencing. You’ll complete the game when all panels’ level are maxed out and let me say that it looks a bit psychedelic. The graphics are really cute and the sounds are sweet. Go Play!

Crazy logic and balancing game called Top Figures.

The key to playing Top Figures is to remove as many of the support beams from beneath the wiggly little kid and still keep him balanced and happily wiggling. I’m not sure how he got up there in the first place…

Desktop Tower Defense - another fun Flash game similar to Flash Element TD where you choose your weapons to attack the oncoming line of creeps, but in this game the weapons also block the creeps’ path.

Update: I’m kind of hooked on this game. I’ve gotten to level 47 with my tight maze technique.
