Video Games
The new and weird in the world of gaming. When you’re not wasting time online, there’s plenty of other digital entertainment out there to distract you.
The Best Buzz

A Collection of Mario Paint Songs
Culture Buzz Remember the video game Mario Paint? If you don't, it was that really cool game for Super Nintendo where you could compose your own songs using the little Mario voices and such. Well, thanks to Youtube, people are posting their own versions of popular songs online. Here is a collection of them. Enjoy.

Whiteboard Tower Defense
Tech Buzz If you need an excuse to revisit the Tower Defense game, this upgrade (with new towers and very different feel) is the rationale you've been waiting for. If you're low on self-discipline like me, it might be best to save this for a slow Friday afternoon, or else your co-workers will start to talk.
-
Still Alive Typographied
Tech Buzz For video game nerds: A music video of the song from the end of Portal, set to typography. There are too many inside jokes to properly explain this, but even if you haven't played the game, this video has a certain charm.
-
Split Words
Tech Buzz An addictive word game. Stick word fragments together to win. And then compare your score (errors, time) with others, to shoot down your self-esteem.
-
Spore Backlash
Culture Buzz Spore fans are not happy with the game's anti-piracy DRM, so they've taken their protest to Amazon. Right now, over 1,367 of 1,463 total ratings are just one star, giving the highly anticipated game's launch an Amazonian black eye.
-
Battalion: Nemesis
Tech Buzz A Flash game built along the lines of Warcraft, but with cute little shiny tanks. So this is where my afternoon went.
-
Fantastic Contraption
Tech Buzz Mixing Crayon Physics and Magic Pen, it's a Flash game that lets you build tiny animated machines. The object is simple: Create a contraption to move a ball or block across the screen. It's easy to test and change your contraptions, plus you can see what other players have done in the past to compare ideas.
-
Coign Of Vantage
Tech Buzz Align the 3D pixles to create a 2D image. The name sounds like the title of the next 007 flick, but it's actually just a visually-challenging Flash game. Easier to link to than explain, so just click through.
-
Pandemic 2
Tech Buzz Create a virus to kill everyone in the world. You'd be surprised how difficult it is -- I thought this game was too slow-moving at first, and it does take a few tries to get into it (the tutorial videos, while boring, are key). But once the pieces fit together, it can quickly suck your afternoon away. Like Risk, certain countries are key (hello, Madagascar!).
-
Robokill: Titan Prime
Tech Buzz A nice-looking Flash game to help you fritter away your afternoon. Combining the control skills of Robotron and all sorts of weapons upgrades, it's lengthier and more complex than your average Flash game, but also good fun.
-
Defender Of The Favicon
Tech Buzz The classic arcade game you can now play in a tiny favicon. Not recommended for people with bad vision or who hate staring at small spaceships as they attack a city. For the rest of us though, this is actually a fun little game.
-
Typing Ninja Hunter
Tech Buzz A more violent typing game than the adorable Type Racer, the Typing Ninja Hunter employs your word speed to fend off attacking ninjas. The early levels of this game are too easy for the average typist, but there's something so satisfying in hearing a groan of death each time you type a word.
-
Google’s Lively
Tech Buzz Google launches its own version of Second Life (though it requires Windows Vista/XP). Unlike Second Life, there's no one, unified world -- you create your own rooms, which can be embedded on your blog or tumblelog or whatever your into calling it these days -- so it can be lonely, just like real life.
-
Hedgehog Launch
Tech Buzz A mindless, fun Flash game perfect for wasting your last Friday hours. I'm not sure why you launch the hedgehog into the sky, but you do. The hedgehog just wants to make it into space.
-
The Princess Bride Game
Tech Buzz The 80's classic is now a downloadable game, featuring the voices of original stars Robin Wright Penn, Wallace Shawn, and Mandy Patinkin! While it's amazing to even imagine Mandy Patinkin in a video game, it's kind of sad that Andre The Giant isn't (sad face).
-
Spore Porn
Tech Buzz The making of vaguely pornographic Spore characters -- yes, Goatse was only the tip of the iceberg -- is being banned by EA. From release to porn in less than 48 hours! If you're curious, best be checking these videos out soon, before they're all pulled down (and new ones go up in their place). EA says, "Whether it's modeling clay, dolls or crayons, a small number of people can be counted on to use it for something inappropriate." So true!
-
Puzzle Farter
Tech Buzz The rudest-sounding Flash game ever. Navigate your way through treacherous mazes, powered by...gas.
-
Goatse In Spore
Tech Buzz One the most disgusting images on the web gets turned into a Spore creature. I guess this is safe for work, in the sense that it's not a picture of an actual human but a video game character, but still. Ew.
