The Curfew
It's only in beta at this point, but you'll want to take an
early look at full-motion video's second coming. You will need access to sound to engage in this dystopian future
adventure game, but it can be abandoned at any time and picked up
later-essential for today's modern working gal. The bottom of the page is
plastered in links for feel-good sites like Amnesty International and the Human
Rights Watch., which you can easily scroll down to in the event of a cubicle
invasion. Not only will you avoid punishment, but everyone will think you're a
sweetheart for trying to save baby torture victims in your spare moments.

Madness Accelerant
Got twenty minutes while your boss takes a "closed-door
meeting"? Good, because I haven't been so excited at a modern take on
traditional Metal Slug-style
sidescrolling shooters since Alien
Hominid. Based on Matt Krinkels' Madness cartoon, Madness Accelerant really
is quite reminiscent of Alien Hominid-which
makes sense when you find out that they share creators.

Crush the Castle
Crush the Castle is
a deceptively simple browser-based physics phest. Use a trebuchet (awesome
catapult) to launch eight types of ammo at poorly engineered castles, killing
the royal family inside. I never tire of landing a boulder in just the right
spot and watching a support beam crush a hoity-toity queen who thinks she's all
better than me. You've got all day to take a shot, so feel free to alt-tab away
for hours at a time. There's a sequel when you've got this one beat.
