Drum 'n' goose
Once we had some mirror tiles set up as a garden decoration, until a blackbird spent over three hours attacking its reflection. Then we took them down.
The goose below is having a similar problem with some mirror-glass windows.
And for some reason, this video is actually quite funny.

Ring Pass Not
Can your ring fend off the dragon? (No, not that sort of ring, you perv!) Making a tip-top magic protection ring isn’t as easy as it looks.
Acid Factory
I’ve always been fascinated by 3-D platformers. The idea of a world that wasn’t as flat as a pancake was like ambrosia to me, and so I devoured games like Head over Heels and such. Maybe that explains why I played Acid Factory long enough to finish it.
Lemon Smash
I know, I know, it’s a stupid, silly game where your demented little guy walks left and right smashing lemons with a huge mallet for sixty seconds.
But it’s fun.
Treasure Seas Inc.
Treasure Seas Inc. is an arcade adventure that while flawed is strangely compelling.
Praising Saint Dibnah
As in Fred.
Big Dog: One heck of a walking robot
Robots are cool; real robots that do neat stuff are even cooler. Big Dog is a real robot that walks; ergo, Big Dog is cool.
Arachnophilia
This game is one of the more inventive “drawing” games out there. Simply put, you’re a spider trying to keep your web intact and your belly well-fed… with the intention of lunching on bat.
Will you idiots SHUT UP!?
I’ve been spending far more time online sniffing out Flash games with my computer in the shop, and I’ve been repeatedly disappointed by the quality of comments on the sites.
Look folks — the comments box is for commenting on the game. It’s not for yawping the unfortunate fact of your existence to the masses.
Being the first to post a comment isn’t in and of itself noteworthy.
If you think a game “sucks”, at least take a breath and explain why. Is it the poorly thought out, unresponsive controls? The irregular difficulty curve? The annoying music or ugly graphics? What? (Oh, and I don’t suck if I like it, OK?)
If you think a game’s “great”, stop squealing, take a breath, and explain why. Controls well thought out and responsive? Snappy graphics? Unobtrusive music? Difficulty balanced just right?
Quizzes and chain letters aren’t comments. Don’t post them.
I don’t care about your score. Or your drama with that other moron who had the nerve to disagree with you. Take it to AIM or something. The world is not a giant Jerry Springer episode, and we are not the studio audience. I don’t mind a good dose of schadenfreude, but as with any other intoxicant I have my limits.
You’re on sites about games. And the game’s the thing.

Qink
A fun puzzle game where you have to colour all sides of a cube. It’s a bit more involved than that though. Click “Read More” to do that — and play via mygame.com.
