Playin' Around

Do you like to play games online? I'm not talking about World of Warcraft (I'm gonna get some google hits for that) or other role playing games that guys waste half of their lives on while their wives, children, and other associates wonder if their ever coming back to reality. And their stomachs expand and their house falls into sloth and disrepair. Not that I know people like that.

No, I mean simple games, the type you might play in the newspaper but now they have been made more interesting with moving parts and music. Joseph has introduced me to the site Popcap Games, which is full of things like that. You have the option of buying the full versions, downloading a version onto your computer, or just playing online, which is what I do.

My favorite game is Bookworm Adventures, not to be confused with just Bookworm. Its a spelling game, with a storyline to it. You have tiles and get points for making big words, then the words you spell help you kill bad guys. My favorite part is that there is no time limit, so I can get up and do something else without getting penalized.


Joseph also prefers games like Bejeweled and Chuzzle, which are even simpler games. Whats great is these games can be easily played by kids too. Okay, I don't know if its that great, but its a fact nevertheless.




Another good site to visit is the mahjong solitair place. I had never heard of this game before I played it, but its actually quite fun. Its a simple matching game involving mahjong tiles....I guess there is another game with this same name and multiple players, but its played differently.


So if you're bored sometime, I suggest you try something new to waste time. You might like it.
