I like many of you love to play games. And I love things that are free. Here is where I combine my two loves and search the web for some of the best free games. I will brave the trenches of the Internet; bare the time I could have spent at work to tell you about the games I found and what I think about them. So, with no further ado here are the game reviews…

The Office: The Duel

This a web game that ties into the tv show The Office (the American version) you can play as Dwight or Andy as the two characters fight for the love of Angela.

This game is based on events that happened on the show and use some of the same jokes as they fight.

you may laugh at a joke or two in this game (ok just one) but there really isn't enough game play to keep you wanting to play this game more then half a minute. your characters "fight" by having you click and choice the attack or defense and then you try to click at the right time to get a moving arrow to point to the center of a bar.

The fact that that is your only control of the fighters in this game isn't what turned me off this game. it was the music, which was a really bad western tune. the sad thing is that when you turn of the sound you don't only turn off the music but the sound fx and what the characters say (which means you miss one of the game's jokes)

The Great AIG tomato toss

in this game you throw tomatoes at the AIG (now AIU) building.

even if you are like a lot of people and are upset with how things are being handled at and with AIG, this game doesn't really hold much play value. all you do in the game is throw tomatoes at a villain, their are no enemies to attack you or challenges to complete. if that was enough, after you throw so many tomatoes your game is interrupted when a little factoid about AIG pops up temporally halting game play

Dosser Game

Dosser Game is an English version of a very popular online browser based mmorpg. Some say this may actually be the most popular online game in the world and for good reason it fun and addicting to play.

in the game you are a homeless person (giving the economic times that may not be to far form the truth for most of us) and you're trying to move from having nothing to being rich (again something I think most of us can relate too)

To get there you pretty much have to do what ever you can to make money and to better your self (to help you make or keep more money). You can get into fights with other bums and take their money, you can panhandle, collect and sell junk or play music as well as a number of other things to raise money.

also you can use your money to pay for different course of education, so you can become more skilled at different task and areas.

The format of this game makes easy to play this game while you are doing other things. The way the game works is that you click on a task and unless it's buying an object, it will take a set amount of time to do it. For example if you want to collect junk for 10 minutes it really will take that amount of time for you to do so, when you click that amount of time a timer will start ticking the the time it will take for you to be done.

This may not sound like the biggest draw but I found that because of this you can play this game all day. set up an action and do other things and then come back later to check to see how it turned out.

But what makes this game great is the fact that the makers of it are giving a percentage of the money they make form the ad revenue form this game and are giving to a charity that helps homeless people in Germany.

If you can tell I think this is a game you should check out if you haven't already.

Shamrock Shatter

a puzzle game for St. Patrick's day.

This is a simple game where you have to click on a group of three or more objects that are the same color to get rid of them before they all reach the top. since this is a St. Patrick theme game you have to click on three leaf clovers.

This game seems to start of a bit harder then most games of this kind, odd giving that the game was on a kids site.

The game really could use some music to go online with it...though I guess you can just play you own songs while you play, the game.

If you like this type of game I am sure you will at least somewhat enjoy this one, if you don't there really isn't much different form this game then the zillions of games like it online.

Leaf Blight

Leaf Blight is a puzzle game where you have to get unhealthy leaves off of trees by clicking on them.

Different color leaves will have different effects on the tree and the leaves around them (or on their branches)

the came has a real calming effect, I think it's the music and the pace of the game.

but even thought the game seems so chill and relaxed it still has a bit of a challenge when you start to go up in the levels and you are timed after a certain point so don't get to relaxed playing this game.

over all I think this is a nice game to play for a bit if you want to unwind

Falling Obama Ragdoll

This is basically the same as the Bush falling ragdoll except the ragdoll is of President Obama instead of the now ex-president Bush.

and the bubble that make the game are Obama's logo, instead of just being bubbles.

you can watch Obama fall and land on bubbles (and more likely sliding of them) or you can throw him around or make it look like he is flying. it's all up to you.

Clown Killer 2

Clown Killer is a simple side scrolling shooting game where you shoot clowns. now before you wonder why you are shooting clowns...have you seen a clown they are very scary...what they bring humor you say...ha...show me a funny clown.

but these clowns are much then the type you see in circus, hosting kid show or working at mascots at fast food chains. no these clowns are killer clowns (though none of them seem to be from other space) It is up to you to wipe the streets of these clowns (or splatter the streets with their blood more like it) to keep everyone safe.

sound interesting...eh, not really. the game isn't really that much fun to play. The game is short of like those old final fight or double dragon games where you have a endless street of bad guys coming at you. But I think the fact that you just shoot these guys instead of having to do any hand to hand combat doesn't really work with this style of game.

I like the back ground art thought and think it should be checked out
