Evony

Evony is a browser-based medieval war and city building game. It is by far the best in its genre that I have come across. You can view one of your cities (where you build baracks, cottages, etc.), your city surroundings (where you upgrade resource fields, or the main map (where you can find NPC's or real people to attack). You start as a simple player with one city. As you gain title and medals from attacking and expanding, you can start to build more cities. Eventually, you can have up to 10 cities in your empire. There is a very helpful quest mode to teach you the basics of the game. There is also an in-game chat session where you can ask questions in the newbie chat or discuss strategy within your alliance chat. Alliances can grow to 100 people deep so war can be very fun if your alliance is helpful. There is a forums area where you can read guides or post smack talk. This game will keep you entertained for hours a day or you can play it for 15 minutes a day. How much you want to play is your choice. The game is free to play, but you can buy game coins for a slight advantage. One of the cool features of Evony is they give you a spin on a "prize wheel" every day where you can win some of the features that can also be bought. This helps to even the playing field between free members and paying members. You can be a force without paying a dime. There is a good defense system which allows you to build up your walls just like castles in the Medieval times. It is very possible to defend yourself against large attacks unlike other games. If you enjoy building up cities to use for war, this is the game for you. You will not be disappointed.

Gladiatus

Gladiatus is an addicting gladiator game which places you against thousands of others over the Internet. The point of the game is to simply build your gladiator character up to be the most powerful gladiator in the world. To prove your strength, you can challenge a gladiator up to 4 spots in front of you in the arena. Beat a stronger gladiator and move up until you reach the number one spot. There are several ways your gladiator can become more powerful. Besides fighting other players in the arena, your gladiator can go on quests, explore several areas such as an ancient temple or a wolf den, fight his way through dungeons, train attributes for battle, or work to gain some more gold. Each task will pay you gold as well as give you experience to move up in levels. You can use the gold you earn to buy weapons, armor, food, potions, or some time in training. Training allows you to build up your gladiator's basic statistics. Gladiatus is time based meaning you can only do so much in a certain amount of time. That way you can play for a few hours straight and let your character rest over night, or you can log on several times throughout the day. This game is a lot of fun and can be very addictive. Besides, who doesn't like slaying others in a simple fight to the death?

Viva Caligula is a Roman adventure game made by the the people at Adult Swim. The idea of the game is pretty simple, but it is still very addicting. You are a Roman soldier whose simple goal is to purge everyone in Rome. Along the way you can pick up food and wine for health as well as 26 different attacks. Each attack is a key on the keyboard.

Pirates Online

Pirates Online is a fun massively multi-player game which was designed by Disney. The story line follows the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and adds a little more. You design your pirate and go out into the huge world to make your name known. You can sink ships, board enemy ships, fight enemies on land, finish quests, and fight other pirates. It is easy to get started. You just download the software and open a free account. The catch is to unlock all of the features you have to upgrade to the premium account which is about $5 a month. This free version is great for a few lazy afternoons. You can still join a crew or guild and help other pirates defeat the enemies. There are enough quests and adventures to have a good time for several hours and then you can decide if you want to buy the premium account or just delete the software. I didn't buy it just because I don't have the time, but it is up to you. You will have a good time playing this game either way.

Pandemic II

Ever wondered if a disease could come and wipe out the planet Earth? Pandemic II lets you build the disease that will do exactly that. You start as a small virus, bacteria, or parasite with little symptoms such as coughing or fever. As your disease spreads you get more evolution points to develop better symptoms, resistances, or ways of transmission. Balance the diseases lethality, infectivity, and visibility to allow it to spread before countries close borders, airports, hospitals, etc. Eventually, if your disease gets powerful enough, the people of earth will start to create a vaccination. See if you can get your disease to spread to all parts of the world before the vaccination is complete. Don't let anyone live. It isn't as easy to wipe out the world population, but is a great time working on the perfect disease.

Desktop Tower Defence

Desktop Defence is one of the best tower defence games I have ever played. It is a toss up between Desktop Defence and Onslaught for my favorite. This game provides several game types and challenges. There are several types of towers to choose from and different types of creeps to defend from. This game will keep you stuck to the screen for hours. See if you can beat their 100 level challenge or if you can build a fixed map that will survive all the waves. No matter which way to play is your favorite, you will have a great time playing this game.

Bloxorz

Bloxorz is a flash puzzle game which is quite entertaining. The point is to try and drop the 3d rectangle into a hole the size of the one of the ends. It sounds a little easier than it really is. Especially since there aren't any boundries to keep you from falling off of the level. Cross bridges and use switches to help navigate your way to the hole. Each level has a password so you don't have to start back over. These 33 levels will keep you entertained for quite a while. Enjoy!

3rd World Farmer

3rd World Farmer is a very thought provoking game. It is a well put together simulation game which mimics the life of a farming family living in a 3rd world country. You pick what crops to grow, livestock to buy, shelters to build, equipment to buy, and modern improvements to invest in. Beware, every year an event happens. A disease may wipe out one of your types of livestock/crops, or a tornado may destroy your shed. Even worse, one of your family members may get very ill. These are all hardships that the people of the 3rd world countries endure everyday. The simulator allows you to manage your family by sending children to school, marrying off children, having babies, or letting any family member leave at any time. You have to keep them healthy, which can cost quite a bit. Once your family (laborers) are under control, you have to choose how you want to spend the little money you gain. Different crops produce different yields each year, so don't get too comfortable in your planting strategy. I really enjoyed this game. It helps open your eyes as well as forces you to adjust throughout the game to the adverse conditions.

Ikariam

Ikariam is a browser-based, real time strategy game. You start out with a plot of land, 40 people, and a little bit of building supply. The point of the game is to turn your plot of land into an multi-island empire. There are four basic types of islands which you can start at. Each has a different resource as well as wood which can be used for building supplies. These different resources and wood are required to build and expand your city buildings. Eventually you can build a palace which allows you to expand to other islands. You can have up to 10 cities assuming your palace is big enough. Your population will also grow according to how happy your citizens are. These citizens can be used to create wealth, mine your resource, or chop trees for wood. You can also build your army and city defenses. Upgrade your barracks to raise an army for defense or to conquer the entire island. Each city is run by real people which you can trade with and enter alliances with. Contact the people on your islands and decide if you want to form a powerful island alliance or if you just take over your island. You also have to hire scientists to research new technologies for you to take advantage of. Make sure you upgrade your academy so you can stay smarter than the others on your island. The possibilities are endless. The game runs continuously so you can always be working towards your next move. This game will have you addicted quickly and keep you entertained for hours. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I have.

Sheep Reaction Game

This is a very interesting reaction time game put out by the BBC. The key is not to let the sheep escape the flock by hitting them with tranquilizer darts. The web site records how long it takes you to see the sheep take off and click the dart button. You have 5 attempts to see how fast you can click. Then you are rated based on a scale of 5 which starts with sluggish snail and ends with turbo-charged cheetah. Tell your friends and see who can get the fastest times. This game won't keep you occupied for hours, but it is definitely worth a few minutes of your time.

Pogo

Pogo is a web site designed to let you play free games with the chance of winning prizes. The chances of winning prizes on Pogo are slim, but the games are very good. Personally, I only play on Pogo for the games. There are several to choose from and many allow you to compete against other members. Even the games you play on your own allow you to talk to others in the game lobby. Each game has several lobbies to choose from so you can choose the peers you play with. My favorite game is the bowling game, but I play 5-10 different games there. The site is completely free. They allow you to upgrade to Pogo Plus for 40 dollars a year which gives you more games, less ads, and a few other upgrades. There is no real need to upgrade though unless you spend a lot of time on the site. Every game allows you to win points which can be put into prize pools for prize drawings. Several games also have instant win jackpots which you can win. Like I said earlier, the prizes aren't easy to win. The upside to that is most prizes are pretty high (up to $5000). I'm sure you will enjoy the games. You can easily kill a few hours at the office on Pogo.

Netropolis is a fun and free business simulation game. You can create up to 10 companies at a time. Once your first company is created, you enter a map and start to build your businesses. You start out with little food stands and small shops, and once you make some money, you can start to build burger joints and eventually upper class restraunts and shops. It seems simple enough, but other companies in the same city as you will fight you over land and the top of the profit lists. Build up security to protect your businesses, and start fires or write graffiti on your enemies businesses to keep alive and strong in the city. Once you survive in small cities you can move up to bigger cities with bigger and stronger companies involved. All companies are other people on the internet, and profits are updated every 5-10 minutes. There are several guides and forums to help you get started and develop your strategy. This is a fun game that is very addicting. Good luck with your companies!
