Great Games To Play At Work

Well we all get to the point in our working day where we think I am bored shitless and can't be arsed doing anything for a bit. Well worry not as there are numerous flash games out there that can keep you entertained while the boss is out of the office. Listed below are a few of my favourites that are worth checking out, click the title to be taken to the games themselves.

Fragger

Fragger is a bit similar to worms only with stationary targets that don't fight back. The gameplay is very simple, but this is where it becomes a great game to play while the boss is sat in the same office. Due to the game being slow paced and played with just a mouse, your boss won't think you are up to anything other than just doing your work.

Result: Perfect for those Monday morning blues and a great alternative to dealing with invoices.

Gravity Guy

Gravity Guy is played with just one button on your mouse and the space bar. Gameplay wise it is pretty simple, avoid falling to your death by switching Gravity. Really you need to try it to see it's true charm. This one you have to be a bit more careful with as your boss will be able to tell you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing due to your actions while playing the game.

Result: Great game, much better than dealing with emails that result in more work, just watch out for your boss.

Final Ninja Zero

Final Ninja Zero is kinda like most action games, your a ninja and you run through the levels throwing shurikens at the enemies. To be honest I haven't really spent much time with the game as I would like to, but that will change when my boss next goes to some boring meeting and I am all alone in the office. Failing that there is always lunch times.

Rating: Don't play while your boss is about, wait until they have gone to a meeting or finished work early.

Zoikz

Zoikz is one of these Tower Defence games, while maybe not the best one available it is still offers a pretty good gaming experience. This is another game you can play while the boss is about, although make sure you have a tab open at the bottom of your computer so you can switch between work and the game just in case.

Result: Slow gameplay and not a lot of attention needed to play the game make this an ideal game while dealing with spreadsheets.

Halo Reach Killed My 360

Well I thought I had better start posting again to get back into the swing of things since I have now moved house. (Although I can only update from other peoples houses as I am still waiting for bloody internet sorting out Grrr!) So any way back onto topic, after getting told to play Halo Reach repeatedly by my mate I decided to give in and pinch his copy and play the game. (Seemed easier than kicking his head in, plus I bruise easily)

So there I was playing the latest Halo game and I have to say that the game wasn't as bad as I first thought it would be. All though that could be down to the vast amounts of alcohol I had induced. So any way so far into the game you fall to the planets surface damaging your suit. It was at this point upon landing that I had to turn the night vision on in the game so that I could actually see anything, as without this being on everything was very hard to see. (Although even with the night vision turned on it was hard to see as everything seemed really glitchy) It was at this point I turned to Mrs Flea and said how cool a feature it was that the fall to earth actually damaged your suit and visor to such a degree that you couldn't see anything after the fall.

Using a gun and jetpack at the same time? Gay!!

Around one hour later I was getting pretty pissed off with the lack of vision in the game, which resulted in more than one or two deaths of my character. When I paused the game the text you get when paused looked perfect, so I thought it must still be part of the game. With this knowledge I soldiered on for around 30 minutes more until I had enough and quit to the main menu. The main menu was the same no glitches at all except for in the background which I put down to the point I was currently at in the game. It was at this point I thought fuck it and quit to the dashboard, once again the dash looked perfect with no signs of anything being wrong. So I turned the 360 off and went off to do some other things.

Around 2 hours later my brother in law turned up to have a look at Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare. (He wanted to test it before going to buy it from the store the cheap bastard) Only upon trying to put the game on my 360 decided to give me the finger and flash the ring of death at me. So basically Halo killed my 360, I wouldn't mind but it wasn't all that great a game anyway.
