Favorite computer games

So I am going to tell you about my current favorite computer games. There are so many! :) There are two main places I go these days to play those little online games when I am bored. First is a wonderful website, Free World Group Games, that is a collection of all sorts of flash games.

There are a lot at this site that I really like but by far the best is Bloons (and Bloons 2 and 3). It is a tower defense game where colored balloons of varying strength, speed, and quantity flow along a course and you try to pop them all with your monkey or dart towers before they make it off the screen.

Another fun tower defense type of game is Ant Buster, in which ants come to your picnic and steal pieces of cake. You place towers to stop them getting the cake back to their hole. You lose when all your cake is gone.

Yet another really fun game at that site is Big Bucks, which is like Monopoly against the computer but faster and more automated and all everything happens simultaneously.

Some other good ones are Garden Inventor, Arachnophilia, QBeez, Beseiged, Orb Attack, Crazy Tracker, Glowstones, Pathfinder, Sprinster, Frantic, Power Pool, Gravity Master, Tiny Trials, Youda Farmer......... I could go on for a good while longer. If you can't find these games, you type in the name on the search box on the right-hand side of the screen that says "Search site" and it should come up.

Another good place for quick online games is an app on Facebook called MindJolt Games. It has tons of easy little games. My favorites are Brain Bones, which is a dice strategy game, and Bubble Spinner, which is really fun and addictive. In Bubble Spinner, you shoot a bubble at a wheel that spins a little when you hit it and when you get 3+ bubbles of the same color, they pop. You can't let the bubbles hit the side of the screen or you lose. It's a good one.
