Five Free Addicting Games
For the last few months I have been straying away from mainline video games (with the exception of Halo 2 and Call of Duty). I have become quite taken with freeware entertainment. These are some of my favorites.
Splash Back – At first glance this Flash based game appears to be a reasonably simple game, however, Splash Back is a master of disguise and unleashes hours of addictive game play. This is a game primarily based on strategy and resource management. You learn to live for the chain reactions that clear the level.

Rumble Box – This is a fighting game with an interesting twist. The three dimensional environment changes throughout the game as the bodies of your slain foes pile up. This somewhat gruesome sounding feature is essential to completing the goal of the game: armed only with an awesome physics engine and two fists, you must escape the box (fortunately they’re only made up of cubes and spheres).

Battle of Endor – This is my favorite Star Wars fighter simulator. It was conceived as a retro style arcade game, and fulfils that goal wonderfully. With swarms of TIE fighters and a trio of Star Destroyers to annihilate, this game is amazingly entertaining. This is simply a must for any Star Wars fan.

Plasma Pong – If you have any appreciation for retro gaming or fluid dynamics, or just like lots of pretty colors… check this out. I find it to be the most enjoyable variation of pong ever.

Halo Zero – This is the “prequel” to the Halo series. It involves side-scrolling, Covenant killing fun. Halo Zero is worth grabbing not just because it involves Master Chief, but because it is entirely too amusing to play Halo in two dimensions.
