3 Best Games To Pass Boredom

Gaming

No matter how vast the internet seems there always are time where everything just becomes very boring. Nothing but the same old websites over and over again that have been refreshed to death. Why not find some online games that will help you pass this painful time? Some of the internet games out there are extremely detailed and addicting and you can spend a lot of time having quality fun with some of these titles. I have scoured the internet for some of the best ones and here are the top three that provide a great amount of fun.

The number 1 best internet game to play is Happy Wheels. The “happy” in the title is referring to you, the player, and not the characters in the game that are constantly being blown to pieces, losing limbs, or being impaled into nicely placed spikes. This game is extremely addicting and will make time pass like no other. You can select one of the featured levels that are very detailed for an online game and make it through it without the character you choose dying. The characters in the game are absolutely hilarious. They range from a man in a mining cart to my personal favorite — irresponsible dad. The controls are responsive and the tasks are difficult but not too difficult. Minutes will turn into hours.

The number 2 choice is Madness Interactive. This game is older than most online games but it has stood the test of time. You start out with just your hands and you have to find guns and weapons to defeat the hordes of enemies that attack you. There isn’t a whole lot of variation in this game but it doesn’t matter because the game play is so much fun. Be sure to find a site that lets you have unlimited lives because the original game only gives you 3 lives which is very frustrating.

The number 3 choice is Stick Arena. This is a game where you are a stick figure (suprise) and you battle online against other people across the world. This game is great because it lets you test out your skills while also being not too serious. It’s fast and easy to play so you can get straight into the action!

Mobile Gaming Smash Hit Gets New Internet Challenger

Gaming

The name Angry Birds is one in which almost everyone that follows technology news will know about, the game being the most downloaded game in history but it seems that with the accolade of the biggest game ever created comes a constant onslaught of challengers that are looking to take away the crown.

Although there is still yet to be a title that has even come close to the popularity of Angry Birds within the mobile gaming market, the online searches seem to have been matched by a new controversial free online gaming title that has taken the world by storm.

Angry Birds gets as many as 4 million online searches within search engine giants Google every month according to their Keywords Tool but it seems that although they seem to have a huge void between them and other free online flash games, that is not the case when it comes to Happy Wheels, a new flash game that has taken the online gaming world by storm.

Happy Wheels is yet another flash game that is free to play online and is developed on a very simple concept, to get your character from one end of a level to the other in the fastest possible time, a fact  that draws gamers to refer to the game as a racing title but this game has a huge twist.

Rather than having a character that you place into a car, monster truck or on foot, you select from a list of possible racers that are on bicycles, in wheel chairs or even on a mobility scooter as you try to navigate the dangerous levels that often leave gamers seeing their characters fail to get to the finish line.

Unlike conventional racing games, the characters within the title can actually get hurt and in more ways than a simple whiplash occurrence, losing limbs or in more drastic cases being torn into small bits and seeing their blood and guts being thrown across the screen.

The game has become a hit with adults and children alike, although parents have expressed their disgust at the game as it seems to target certain public societies such as the disabled or elderly but young gamers say that the game is little more than a fun way to pass their time.

With Happy Wheels also topping 4 million searches a month, online arcade owners are flooding to add the much sort after game in order to offer their gamers the chance to sample the game for themselves and many have reported that a lot of their organic traffic is in some way related to the game or the genre of car racing games in general.

Gaming

ps2While Sony may not have sold as many PS3 units as it wish it had it still has one reason to extend its middle finger to Microsoft. When it comes to console usage in the home, the PS2 comes top of the poll.

In a worldwide poll of gamers, the PS2 came top by quite a margin. The poll questioned the amount of gaming in minutes per console by each participant. Nearly 32% of respondents said that they play the PS2 more than any other console. The Xbox 360 came second at 17%, then the Wii and then the original Xbox. The PS3 comes in at a shocking 5th.

The poll also list the popularity of online games. World of Warcraft appeared head and shoulders above the competition with players averaging over 11 hours of play each week on average. Call of Duty 4 came next at 6 hours and then the field was pretty widely spread over a number of games.

It seems that the PS3 is lacking something its older brother, possesses, hopefully Sony will look into what it is.
