			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are all sorts of fun activities that you can to while staying at the computer and one of them would be to play some <strong><a id="aptureLink_G054Piu0gH" href="http://www.addictinggames.com/puzzle.html">free online puzzle games</a>. </strong>There are all sorts of them on the internet, and they are really fun to play and addictive. And since they are puzzle games they are also stimulating for your mind, and you can easily get rid of boredom when you play them. So for today we’ll discuss more about a really cool game, the one called “<a id="aptureLink_U9jDzLeCIR" href="http://www.addictinggames.com/superstacker2.html">Super stacker 2</a>”. Since there is a second version of this game, it means that the first one was really good.</p>
<p>The second version is back with 40 new cool levels, ,4 speed runs, a stack editor and new graphics and sounds. Your objective is to stack all the shapes that you are given without letting one of them fall down. You will be given one piece at a time, and you have to place it in the right position so that it won’t fall, but also to make the whole structure a steady one. After you place all the shapes on the screen, the level is not over yet. You will have to survive for 10 seconds, and in this time the structure must not fall apart. You will notice that all the shapes have some kind of a smiley face, and they are all initially happy. But once you place them on the screen, and especially when they feel that they are falling apart, they will become scared and unhappy. But once they get their balance back, they will be happy again. And if all the shapes are happy, you will complete the level even faster, and you won’t have to wait for 10 seconds. So try to make it as steady as possible, so that all the shapes are happy. If they are not, you will have to wait the whole 10 seconds, but of the structure doesn’t fall apart in that time, you will still complete the level.</p>
<p><center> <a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/puzzle-games-online-free.jpg"><img src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/puzzle-games-online-free.jpg" alt="" title="puzzle-games-online-free" width="300" height="272" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1776" /></a></center> </p>
<p>There are 4 categories of levels (easy stacks, medium stacks, tricky stacks and hard stacks) and each one has 10 levels. So there are 40 of them to complete, so you won’t get bored soon with this game. In the upper side of the screen you will see the structures that are following to come, and also their dimensions. So be really careful at the next shape that is coming, and also at its dimension. In the first level there are just squares, and they are getting smaller and smaller. So since this is just the first level it is really simple to complete. Just place all the squares on top of each other. In the second level you will have many squares with the same dimension and finally a small triangle. Simply place all the squares on top of each other to make a big tower, and finally put the triangle on top of them. But of course be sure where you place each piece, so that it is as steady as possible. In the third level you will have some circles too, and also a bar. There will be many horizontal or vertical bars across the game, and they don’t have a smiley face, so you can place them wherever you want. They can also be really helpful and they can make your structure steady. In this level you will make some kind of a school bus, where the 2 circles are the wheels, the squares will make  the body of the bus and the triangle will complete it by being the windshield.</p>
<p><center> <a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Puzzle-Games-Online-Free.jpg"><img src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Puzzle-Games-Online-Free-300x220.jpg" alt="" title="Puzzle Games Online Free" width="300" height="220" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1778" /></a></center> </p>
<p>In the 4<sup>th</sup> level you will have only triangles, and the easiest way is to make a pyramid shape. After completing the pyramid it will be a steady structure, so you won’t have to wait the whole 10 seconds to complete the level, and all the faces will be happy. In the next level you will have just squares and also a horizontal bar. You might think that all of them have the same size of 60 x 60, but if you look carefully you will notice that the last square is a really big one with a size of 270 x 270. so be careful how you place the rest of the squares so that you have enough space for the big square. The next level might be a little tricky because you have to place the pieces on a slippery surface. But if you place the 2 squares at the end of those triangles, you will then be able to hold the circles so that they won’t fall. The next level is also tricky, because the squares are getting bigger and bigger and they can easily lose their balance. The game goes on and on like this, and the levels are getting more and more interesting. Some of them are easier, while others are really difficult, but after all this is a really fun game to play. Enjoy it!</p>
<p>So here was just an example of a <strong>free <a id="aptureLink_deH5oxwReL" href="http://www.addictinggames.com/puzzle.html">online puzzle game</a>, </strong>but of course there are thousands of more others. In case you know some more that are really cool and worth playing, tell us more about them. Have a nice day!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whenever you have a few minutes when you are free and you want to have some fun or relax at the computer, you can choose to play a <a id="aptureLink_I5KM1nPTky" href="http://www.freeonlinegames.com/">free online game</a>. you will find thousands of them on the internet and they are made with the flash technology. So this means that they are simple games, with a simple graphic and simple controls. Most of them can be completed in just a few minutes, and then you can move one to another game…or get back to work.</p>
<p>They can have all sorts of topics such as: action games, shooting, adventure to sport games, racing games, adult games and many more. There are many <strong>free online gaming sites</strong>, and one of them is <a href="http://funny-games.biz/">this one</a>. Besides games the site also has videos, pictures, jokes and cartoons, and the games are sorted on categories. These are: board games, card games, <a id="aptureLink_h8FCe7Ezqa" href="http://www.casinogames.org/">casino games</a>, fighting games, multiplayer games, puzzle games, racing games, shooting games and sport games.</p>
<p><center> <a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-online-gaming-sites.jpg"><img src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-online-gaming-sites-300x240.jpg" alt="" title="free-online-gaming-sites" width="300" height="240" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1714" /></a></center> </p>
<p>So now let’s pick some random games from this site and discuss more about them, and we will begin with the one called iCycle. Your objective is to ride the bike and follow the trail of the frozen soap bubbles across cold and snow. Use the arrow keys to control the bike and be careful to avoid the ice spikes. The character that is riding the bike through snow and cold is naked, and he is also really big compared to the bike. The bike will also make some funny noises, so the game can be really fun to play. Watch out to not hit obstacles or crash because when your rider falls into the snow he will instantly freeze. Have fun!</p>
<p><center> <a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-online-gaming-sites-2.jpg"><img src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-online-gaming-sites-2-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="free-online-gaming-sites-2" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1715" /></a></center> </p>
<p>Another fun game from this site is called “<a id="aptureLink_5XYMObh32e" href="http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/520241">Ricochet kills PP</a>”. your objective in this one is to angle your shots just at the right spot and to ricochet the bullets and kill all the men from each level. You only need to use the mouse for aiming and the click the left mouse button to shoot. The bullets won’t hurt you, so simply be careful to shoot all the other guys. The bullet will travel a lot, and will fly in all the directions and sometimes you can kill those guys even though you didn’t intend it first. Even though the bullet will travel fast, you will still be able to see its path. In some levels you can kill all the guys with a single shot, and after all it is a really fun game. Enjoy it!</p>
<p>So here was just an example of <strong>free online gaming site</strong> but of course there are many more others, with a lot of cool games to play. In case you know some more that are really cool and worth playing, tell us more about them. Have a nice day!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The free online flash games are really popular, and they are played by thousands of people each day in order to get rid of the stress and to have some fun. There are hundreds of sites that are offering such <a id="aptureLink_o79D8paT0f" href="http://www.addictinggames.com/">games for free</a>, and one of them is<a href="http://www.funny-games.biz"> this</a> one. This site offers more than 5,000 cool flash games that you can play, as well as videos, pictures, jokes and cartoons. So it can definitely  be a good source for your entertainment.</p>
<p>The games on the site are sorted on different categories, and these are:<strong> free online Arcade Games </strong>| Board Games | Card Games | <a id="aptureLink_l5JUxPw6UH" href="http://www.casinogames.org/">Casino Games</a> | Fighting Games | Multiplayer Games | Puzzle Games | Racing Games | Shooting Games and| Sport Games. And for today we’ll discuss more about some of the <strong>free online arcade games </strong>from funny-games.biz. and let’s begin with the brand new game called “<a id="aptureLink_ko0yPeOB6q" href="http://www.padi.com/scuba/padi-courses/diver-level-courses/view-all-padi-courses/deep-diver/">Deep diver</a>”. This is quite a nice game where you have to explore the depths of the ocean with your small, squared shape submarine and search for treasures, rare species and secret maps. Search for treasures in order to upgrade your submarine and then you will be able to go even deeper.</p>
<p><center> <a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-online-arcade-gaming.jpg"><img src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-online-arcade-gaming.jpg" alt="" title="free-online-arcade-gaming" width="244" height="208" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1678" /></a></center> </p>
<p>There are 10 challenging stages that you can explore, so you won’t get bored too soon. Simply use the arrow keys to control the submarine. In the dive select screen simply move the mouse over the map pieces to view your progress and to go on a dive click on the map piece that you would like to dive at. To move the submarine you can use the arrow keys, but also the W, A, S, D keys depending on how it’s easier for you. Find and collect the chests to get money and also keep an eye out for the map piece, because it will unlock the next diving site. In the upper left side of the screen you will see the map, and in the lower right side there are 2 indicators. The first one shows the pressure, while the second one show the level of oxygen. Whenever you find oxygen tanks pick them up, and this will give you extra oxygen.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Free-Online-Arcade-Gaming.jpg"><img src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Free-Online-Arcade-Gaming-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="Free Online Arcade Gaming" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1681" /></a></center> </p>
<p>But use them wisely, because once you collect them they don’t come back. Whenever you see a bottle collect it, and this will let you explore a new dive site for more treasures. The new map piece will be available on the dive select menu. Be careful and not dive too deep. You will know when you are going too low when the indicator will point at the red area. Going over the red on the pressure guage will make you lose all the money in your sub. You can go deeper by upgrading  your submarine. When you collect a chest, this means you now have money. To keep them you need to take them to the surface and make sure that you don’t die while you carry the money, because as we said, you will lose them. You can die when going too deep, but also if you run out of oxygen. So don’t waste time searching for all the treasures and other items, after you get the money go at the surface with them. You will be able to stay under water for longer later in the game, after you upgrade your sub. Have fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There  all sorts of cool free online flash games on the internet, and they  have all kinds of topics and characters, so there will be a game for  everyone. For today we’ll discuss more about some <strong>free online arcade games, </strong>and we’ll begin with the one called “Joe the alien”, which can be found on <a href="http://www.funny-games.biz/arcade-games.html">this site</a>.  It is quite a fun game in which you will have to help Joe get to Earth.  He is a small and green alien from outer space, which is also an  extreme space jumper. You will have to use the arrow keys and jump from  one platform to another, and finally complete all the levels and reach  Earth. Along the way you will collect different items, and you can use  them by pressing the space bar. For each platform that you will jump on,  you will get a number of points. Among the  bonuses that you will find  there are starfalls – which will bring you many stars, time machine –  which will slow down the time and also the reverse bonus. This is not  actually a bonus, because it will make the game more difficult for you,  and it will swap left and right keys for a period of time. Along your  long fall you will also find stars that will bring you more points and  red pillows  that will bring you more thrust. To activate this trust  just press the up arrow key, and this will allow you to go high in the  air, or slow down your fall. Each level will begin from somewhere up,  and as you advance you will go lower and lower.</p>
<p>You will drop from one  platform to another in order to make as many points as possible. You  will land on different types of platforms, some are solid ones, but most  of them are rotating platforms. So you can’t stay for much time on  those platforms because they will rotate and you will fall down. There  are also some platforms that last just for a few seconds, and then  totally disappear. There is a bar in the right side of the screen that  will show you much left you have to fall until you reach the finish.  There are 7 levels to complete, each level containing a few sub-levels.  In the second level the platforms will have different colors, and they  will bring you different scores depending on the color. Try to jump on  platforms with the same color to get more combo scores. And also beware  of junk items that are flying around because they will injure Joe the  alien. As we said you have a <a id="aptureLink_rSqaLJIozm" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket">rocket</a> on your back which uses fuel to fly.  Those red pills that we mentioned are actually fuel tanks, so be sure  to collect as many as you can. And of course also collect the orange  stars. When you find a weapon use the space bar to activate it. When  those flying junk parts will hit you, you will lose life. But you can  refill this life by collecting health pills. Be careful to not lost the  entire fuel, because if you will fall and you have no fuel left, you  won’t be able to stop…unless you land on a platform. Otherwise you will  fall down a lot, and you will lose the game. after all it is an  interesting game, so we invite you to try it and tell us your opinions  about it.<br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-arcade-gaming-online.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1586" title="free-arcade-gaming-online" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-arcade-gaming-online.gif" alt="" width="144" height="138" /></a><br />
</center><br />
So now let’s discuss about another <strong>free online arcade game, </strong>and  now we’ll choose the one called “Epic coaster”. This is a great and  addictive platform game and your goal is to stay alive on the roller  coaster for as much as possible. The track for this roller coaster is a  really unusual one, and it will have a lot of broken tracks. But luckily  you  have some engines on your roller coaster, and you will be able to  jump from one track to another, and avoid falling down. The controls are  really simple, and all you have to do is press one key to jump. You can  use either the left mouse button, or the spacebar or the UP arrow  key…they all perform the same thing which is to jump. There will be some  bigger distances between broken tracks, so in this case you will have  to hold the jump key pressed for a longer time &#8211; the longer you hold the  jump button, the longer your jump is. The great part about the game is  that there are 80 achievements that you can unlock. The graphic of the  game is quite simple, but it looks really nice. The graphic on the  screen will be combined with some epic sounds, which will make this  rollercoaster ride a really interesting one. It is an <a id="aptureLink_SYj8T3Kbnw" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade%20game">arcade game</a>, so  you will play until you die (in this case fall down), and then you can  start all over again. If you land on the edge of one track you will get a  perfect jump bonus. Try to get multiple perfect jumps in a row to  increase your combo. When you will unlock achievements you will increase  your base score multiplier, so if you will play after you have unlocked  a lot of achievements you will be able to increase your high score  faster and easier. Try to maximize your points and compete for a spot on  the leader board. The game takes place at night, and everything is  quite dark, so you will have to concentrate a lot. The jumps will get  really difficult when there are a few small platforms right next to one  another, and you will have to jump short and quickly.<br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-arcade-gaming-online.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1587" title="free-arcade-gaming-online" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-arcade-gaming-online.jpg" alt="" width="93" height="136" /></a><br />
</center><br />
And  speaking of achievements, here are some of them: getting started – jump  for the first time, say cheese – get your picture taken, tourist – pose  for 10 pictures, full force – performs a jump with maximum power, baby  jumper – jump with minimum power, on the edge – land on the edge of a  track, perfect noob – land 1 perfect jump, 10 %, 20 %, 30 % etc – when  unlocking 10 %, 20 % etc of the achievements, rest in peace – when you  die, practice practice – die 10 times, 1000 meters – travel 1000 meters,  2000 meters for traveling this distance, and it can go as high as 15000  meters, old school – use the keyboard to jump, lazy – use the mouse to  jump, insomniac – play during the night, loud noises – watch 5  fireworks, pyro – watch 20 fireworks, buzzed – watch 1 flyby, top gun –  watch 10 flybys, it’s shiney – get 1 sparkle, magic dust – get 10  sparkles, try to get them all – look at the achievement screen, people  read these? – read the instructions, 30 mph – survive for 30 seconds, 50  mph &#8211;  survive for 60 seconds,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every  time you are bored and you are looking for a fun activity that you can  do you can choose to play a free online flash game. These are really  small, simple and also fun games that are found for free on the  internet. There are so many sites offering them, and they are also  really diversified. They have all sorts of topics and characters, and  some of them are inspired by the real life while other are fictional.  Among the games inspired by real life you can find games with  politicians, or games with actors, singers and all sorts of famous  people or events. But we won’t talk about them today, and we’ll choose  some other type of games – the <strong>internet puzzle games.</strong> These are  also simple and fun games, only that they are not funny or silly, but  they are more serious and will require some intelligence and  concentration to complete them.</p>
<p>You can find them on many sites all over the internet, and for today we’ll discuss more about some <strong>internet puzzle games </strong>found on <a href="http://funny-games.biz/">funny-games.biz</a>.  There are many cool games here so we’ll just pick some random ones and  discuss more about them. Let’s begin with the one called “The  Illusionists Dream”. This game also has a nice story, and this one  begins many years ago, when there was a great magician who was  entertaining the crows with his tricks and illusions. But one day a  close person to him dies, so he stops performing and losses his desire  to live. But one night he has a dream and begins to get better. Your  goal in this magical puzzle platform game is to help the magician find  his will to live again. Use the arrow keys to move him around, and press  the A key to take the form of an animal. After that, press the S key to  get back to your original form of human. Whenever you are close to any  animal, press the A key, and the magician will take that animal, put it  in his hat and then he will automatically transform into that animal. It  will be good to transform in different animals, because this can help  you in your quest. For example when you will transform into a frog you  will be able to jump higher, so this will help you when you have to jump  somewhere.<br />

Or some  other times you will need to fly somewhere, so you need an animal with  wings. In the first level, the best (and only) choice of an animal with  wings will be to transform into a butterfly. Then you will collect a  key, and in order to open the door you will have to transform into human  again. Then you will move on to the next level. Here there will also be  a key located somewhere high, and you will have to transform into a  butterfly and fly to that key. But be careful because there is a frog  guarding the key, and it will eat the butterfly. (it will eat you). So  now you lose the game, and you have to start the level again. So try to  avoid that frog when you are a butterfly. There will be other similar  situations, for example when you are a rabbit you can be eaten by a fox,  so avoid it too. But luckily you don’t have a limited number of lives,  so if you get eaten you will just be transformed into human again. The  fox doesn’t eat just rabbits, but it will also eat you when you are a <a id="aptureLink_8oNelwn9Al" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly">butterfly</a>, so avoid this situation too. In the next level you will get  the form of a small animal that walks low on the snow, and he also has  the ability to duck in the snow, and practically to become invisible.  And this will help you in order to avoid getting eat by  a fox. But this  small animal is not capable of jumping, so then you will have to become  a human again. And speaking of jumping, in the next level you will be  able to transform into a monkey, and they fly really high and jump from  one tree to another. After all, this is a really interesting and  original game, that will put your mind to the test. You won’t have to  solve really difficult <a id="aptureLink_FMZPft71uH" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puzzle">puzzles</a>, but you will have to think of the best  solution to finish the level, and to decide which is the best animal to  transform into.</p>
<p><a id="aptureLink_0q8q8sqwaC" style="margin: 0pt auto; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 0px 6px;" href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=online%20puzzles"><img style="border: 0px none;" title="What people are saying about "online puzzles"" src="http://placeholder.apture.com/ph/370x341_TwitterArticle/" alt="" width="370px" height="341px" /></a></p>
<p>So  let’s discuss about one more cool puzzle game from this site, for  example the Waterfalls 2. this is a beautiful and relaxing game, which  has some great graphics. There will be some streams of colored light  flowing on the screen (the “waterfalls”) and you will have to guide them  in order to fill up the containers. You will have some forces that you  can use, and they will modify the path of the waterfalls according to  where you place them. The more you advance in the game, the more  complicated it will be to guide the stream into the container, but the  game is really fun to play and stimulating. There are 15 levels for you  to try, so good luck! You will have to use just the mouse to drag and  drop the forces (the arrows) and place them where you want. When you  place one it will immediately interact with the stream, and deviate it  according to the direction of the arrow. You will have to bring a steady  and constant flow to the container to fill it up, otherwise it will  become empty again. You will need to have quite a good computer or  laptop in order to enjoy this game at its best quality. Have fun! So here were some examples of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_game">free online</a> puzzle games that you can find on this site, but of course there are  many more other games on this site and on other sites too. if you know  some others that are really fun and worth playing, tell us more about  them. Have a great day!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you  don’t want to spend money on buying an advanced video game for your  computer, and also if you don’t want to spend many hours or days before  completing that game, you can choose to play a free online flash game.  These games are found for free on the internet, and they have quite a  simple graphic with a simple game play. So this means that they won’t  last for such a long time, and you can complete a game in just a few  minutes and then move on to another one. And because there are thousands  of games on the internet, you will always have what to play.</p>
<p>They  are really diversified, with all sorts of topics and characters, and  some of the games are inspired by real events or holidays. So you can  find Halloween games, Easter games, Christmas games, Thanksgiving games,  Valentine’s Day games and so on. Today we’ll discuss about some <strong>free online puzzle games </strong>which are specially made for the love holiday which is Valentine’s Day. You can find many of them <a href="http://www.primarygames.com/holidays/valentines/games.htm">here</a>,  and on many more other sites too. So let’s discuss more about some of  the love games found on this site, and we’ll begin with the one called  “Valentine’s Day word search”. This is a nice game which has the purpose  of finding different words. You will have in front of you a big box  filled with random letters. But they are not quite random, because some  of them are forming some words. In the right side of the screen you will  see a list of words, and these are the words that you have to find in  the pile of letters. And of course there will be words that are specific  to Valentine’s Day, such as: love, candy, chocolate, hearts, pink,  roses, cupid, pink, hugs, kisses and so on.<br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-on-line-puzzle-games-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1554" title="free-on-line-puzzle-games-2" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-on-line-puzzle-games-2.jpg" alt="" width="404" height="323" /></a><br />
</center><br />
Just click on one letter and  then hold the mouse button pressed and drag the mouse in any direction.  There will be a blue shape covering the letters that you want, and you  can go as far as you find the word. You can find words in any direction:  horizontally, vertically and diagonally and some words are even written  from right to left, which of course is not the correct direction. Once  you find a word it will remain highlighted and it will disappear from  the list of words. There is no time limit so it’s not necessary to hurry  up. If you can’t find one of the words at all, you can click on it from  the list, and then press on the “Find words” button, and that word (or  words) will be highlighted automatically. After completing the game you  can press on the “rescramble” button and start it all over again, but  the words will be the same. So have fun!</p>
<p><a id="aptureLink_yPIB8vdn3k" style="margin: 0pt auto; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 0px 6px;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine%27s%20Day"><img style="border: 0px none;" title="Valentine's Day" src="http://placeholder.apture.com/ph/360x320_WikipediaArticle/" alt="" width="360px" height="320px" /></a><a href="http://gadgetophilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/valentines-day.png"><br />
</a></p>
<p>So now  let’s move on to another game, and this time we’ll take the “Valentine  hunt”. In this one you will have in front of you an image that contains  many items and persons, and your objective will be to find 5 heart  shapes in this image. Whenever you click on a heart, or anywhere else on  the screen, the internet page will refresh and it will say to you a  message. When you find a heart you will see this, and you will also be  announced how many hearts you still have to find and when you click in  any other place you will find out if you are getting closer or further  away from a heart. When you are getting close to a heart it will say  “You’re getting warmer”, and when you are far away it will say “You’re  getting colder”. It is an interesting game, but it can be quite annoying  because each time you click a new page will load, and it’s the same  when you return to the image. And it will be even more annoying if you  have a bad internet connection <img src='http://thechallengebase.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .<br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-on-line-puzzle-games-2.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1555" title="free-on-line-puzzle-games-2" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-on-line-puzzle-games-2.png" alt="" width="309" height="280" /></a><br />
</center><br />
So now  let’s see another game, for example the brand new “Search for love”  game. This is a cool point and click puzzle game in which you will have  to find misaligned hears and place them back into their position. Use  the mouse to click on them, and then they will get back in the correct  position. If you find all 9 hearts from one image you will also get a  time bonus. You will have a limited allotted time and you will have to  quickly find and click on the polygon cut outs that are shifted out of  place. Correct clicks will bring you more points while wrong clicks will  make you lose time. So be careful where you click, and don’t just click  randomly on the screen. You will easily find the polygon cuts that are  not in their place, either by search for heart shapes on the screen,  either by figuring out by yourself which are the places from the image  that are not looking correct. You can easily find most of the shapes,  but it is quite difficult to find all 9 of them and make a perfect  score. There will be all sorts of cool images that are related to love,  such as flowers, teddy bears, lovers, candles, birds, toys, candies and  others. There are 10 rounds, and after that you will find your final  score. If you think you made a really good one, you can submit it and  compare it with others. Good luck!</p>

<p>Let’s  see one more puzzle game from this site, for example the one called  “Valentine’s Cupcakes”. This is a happy environment game and pink  cupcakes are floating around a world covered with grass. What you need  to do is collect the pink cupcakes by clicking on them and they will  become hearts. Then collect the hearts, but watch out for ChocoBatz. If  he touches you 3 times the level will end. Use the environment rotator  to find the cupcakes that are missing. The game is quite fun, and will  test your agility with the mouse. You will have to move the cursor  quickly on all the cupcakes that you see, and collect them, but also be  very careful to avoid the Chocobatz. They are those brown things, and  they will fly really close to the other cupcakes and red hearts. So you  will need to watch out and not click on them. Have fun!</p>
<p>Here were just some examples of <strong>free online puzzle games </strong>for  Valentine’s Day, but of course there are many more others on this site  and on other sites too. Just search for them and if you find some others  that are cool and worth playing, tell us all about them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are bored and you are looking for a fun activity to occupy your time, then you can choose to play a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_game">free online flash game</a> on the internet. These games are absolutely free and you won’t even  need to install anything because you can play them directly from the  internet browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome,  Opera or others). These  games are usually very funny and addictive, and  there will be a game for everyone. If you like sports then you can play  one of the many sport games, if you like adventures then you can play a  fighting or an adventure game, if you like cars then you can play  a  racing game and so on. But not all the games are funny or silly, there  are also some games that are more serious and they require some  concentration and intelligence. And there are even some educational  games from where the kids can learn all sort of things (learn the  alphabet, learn math, learn how to count and so on).</p>
<p>So today we are going to discuss about some <strong>puzzle and math online games.</strong> First let’s talk about a puzzle game. A game of this kind is usually  one that requires just a few clicks on the screen, that will trigger all  sorts of actions that will lead from one to another, and this way you  will be able to solve mysteries or make your way through the game. One  game of this kind is the one called “Abuba the alien”. Here you must  click on objects from the environment to trigger different actions, so  that you can help the cute little alien called Abuba. If you are not  sure what to do next you can use the “Need a hint” button. But we  suggest to not look at all the hints, and try to discover the  actions  yourself because it is much more fun this way.<br />
<center><br />
<a id="aptureLink_apz8y2F2FC" style="margin: 0pt auto; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 0px 6px;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online%20game"><img style="border: 0px none;" title="Online game" src="http://placeholder.apture.com/ph/360x320_WikipediaArticle/" alt="" width="360px" height="320px" /></a><br />
</center><br />
And now  let’s discuss about a fun math game, and we’ll take the Coolmath’s  Crazy taxi M 12 game. This is a fun game that combines driving and math,  and that will be very useful for the kids because they will learn some  math while driving at the same time. Your goal will be to bump into some  of the cars, while avoiding others. Each car will have a number written  on it. And before each level you will find out in which of the cars you  have to bump in. For example you will have to hit only the cars that  have numbers that are multiples of 2 or 7 or 10 and so on. If you will  be asked to hit into the multiples of 7, then you will have to bump the  cars with these numbers: 7, 14, 21, 28 and so on. If there are more cars  that are matching the description in front of you, try to hit into all  of them, to get even more points. If you will bump into a wrong car, you  won’t be able to go any further and you will have to move away from  that car. And when you do this you will lose a lot of time, so try to  hit only into the correct cars. There will also be other obstacles in  your way, so jump over them using the space bar. And use the arrow keys  to steer your vehicle. Good luck!<br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/online-puzzle-and-math-games.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1552" title="online-puzzle-and-math-games" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/online-puzzle-and-math-games.jpg" alt="" width="404" height="303" /></a><br />
</center><br />
Now  let’s see another fun puzzle game, for example Lifeguard Larry Deluxe.  In this one you will play the role of Larry the lifeguard, and you will  have to rescue the fat kid that is drowning in the swimming pool. You  will have only 1 minute left, so you will need to hurry. Just use the  mouse to click on the screen and to perform different activities. You  have 4 options that you can use, and these are: look, get, use and hit.  You will also have a few items near the pool that you can use in  different ways. There will be a specific ending for each action that you  do, so be sure to try all of them. And here are some of the endings we  discovered so far. The most simple one if you just click on the swimming  pool in order to go there and rescue the kid. Larry will jump into the  water, but he will jump so powerful that he will break his neck and die.  So the message will be “you lose!”. This version will happen when you  click on the pool with the “look” button activated. But if you click on  the pool with the “use”  button, you will also jump in the pool. But  this time there will be a shark appearing right when you jump, and he  will eat you.<br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/online-puzzle-and-math-games-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1553" title="online-puzzle-and-math-games-2" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/online-puzzle-and-math-games-2.jpg" alt="" width="309" height="309" /></a><br />
</center><br />
So again the message is “you lose”. If you want to try a  new version, just click on the restart button. If you will go next to  the wheelbarrow, and remove it, you will find a bag of cement. Here you  have two options – to collect the bag and use it unopened, or to break  it. In case you take it unopened, you can go near the swimming pool and  throw it at the fat kid. But he will immediately go down, and again he  will die and you lose the game. You can also break the cement bag using  the “hit” button, and then go with it at the swimming pool. Now you will  fill the entire pool with cement, and the kid will be trapped in it and  die. The message now will be “You lose! Congratulations! You now have a  pool that can double as an overflow parking lot”. Another method that  you can try would be to collect the harpoon found on a wall, and then  use it to take the kid out of the swimming pool. The good news will be  that the kid didn’t drown, but the bad news is that you shot a harpoon  through his head. So these were the methods that we found so far, but  there are probably some others too. If you know some other possible  endings to this game, please tell us all about them. So these were just a few examples, but of course there are many more other cool <strong>puzzle and math online games </strong>that  are just waiting for you to play them. Whenever you discover some  others that are cool and worth trying, please tell us all about them.  Have a nice day!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The  free online games are really popular, and they can be found on hundreds  of sites. Each site contains a few hundred of games itself, so you can  just imagine how many of them there are on the internet. They have all  sorts of topics and characters, and some can be really funny or silly  while others can be more serious. Some games are even inspired by the  real life, and have real characters. For example there is a game that  will allow you to throw food at Paris Hilton and make her fat, or one  where you can make the former president of the United States of America,  George W. Bush to dance or when where you can make hamburgers with  Tiger Woods. There are many more other similar funny and silly games,  but as we said there are some serious ones too. These games will require  some concentration and intelligence and they are the puzzle games.  There are really popular games and they can really make you busy when  you are bored.</p>
<p>There are so many of them on the internet, and for today we’ll discuss just about some <strong>free puzzle games. </strong>We’ll begin with the “<a href="http://www.superkids.com/aweb/tools/logic/dots">Classic Connect the dots</a>”  game. You probably already know this simple but fun game, because it  can also be played on a piece of paper, with a friend. Even though you  may find this game on a site with games for kids, it can be played by  anyone, no matter the age, and it can be quite tricky. Your objective is  to make more squares than your opponent. You will have to click on  adjacent dots in order to connect them with a line. You will alternate  turns with your opponent, and here in this online version your lines  will be red while the lines of the computer are blue. Simple place one  line at a time, until you have three of them next to each other. After  that all you have to do is place the 4<sup>th</sup> line and close the  square. When you make a square you will have one more turn. You will  have to be really careful where you place the line, because if you won’t  make a square, maybe the computer will make one, or even more. The game  is over when the whole surface of the board is filled with squares. Now  you will see the final score, and find out if you won or lost the game.  If you want to start a new game simply press on the “reset” button.<br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/puzzle-games-free.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1550" title="puzzle-games-free" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/puzzle-games-free.jpg" alt="" width="269" height="283" /></a><br />
</center><br />
So let’s see another <strong>puzzle game </strong>that you can play <strong>for</strong> <strong>free, </strong>for example the “<a href="http://www.playitontheweb.com/games/Square-Puzzle-game.htm">Square puzzle</a>”  game. This is also a quite simple game, one that is related with  squares. You will have in front of you a big red square wit dots on it,  and a few shapes. You will have to match those shapes and put them  inside the square in order to fill it up. Drag and drop the shapes and  place them in the position you consider is the correct one. After  completing the square the game will be over, and you can start it again  and receive new shapes. This one may be recommended for kids so that  they can learn different shapes and put their mind to the test. As you  advance there will be more and more shapes, with different sizes so the  game will get more difficult. Have fun!<br />
<center><br />
<a id="aptureLink_nMaPu9nhFV" style="margin: 0pt auto; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 0px 6px;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puzzle%20video%20game"><img style="border: 0px none;" title="Puzzle video game" src="http://placeholder.apture.com/ph/360x320_WikipediaArticle/" alt="" width="360px" height="320px" /></a><br />
</center><br />
So  let’s move on to another fun puzzle game, for example the one called  “Chopix”. This one has 10 levels and you will unlock them one at a time.  Your objective is to draw a path on the map and make sure the Chopix  the skater makes it through all the checkpoints, and finally to the  finish line. You will have a few options (play, draw, erase, undo, redo,  erase all) and you can use them to build the desired path for the  skater. Make sure that he reaches all the checkpoints and he finally  gets to the yellow flag. If you don’t go through all the checkpoints,  you won’t move on to the next level. When you are in the drawing mode  you will see a larger perspective of the map, and when the game starts  it will get closer. If you will use more lines, be sure to connect them  with each other, and make the ride of the skater as smooth as possible,  otherwise he will get stuck somewhere.<br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/puzzle-games-free.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1551" title="puzzle-games-free" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/puzzle-games-free.gif" alt="" width="175" height="99" /></a><br />
</center><br />
Another  fun puzzle game would be “PicBix”. Here you have to rearrange the tiles  in a specific order and make the original image. Use the arrows found  on the screen to rearrange the rows and columns. The faster you make the  image the better it would be and also try to make it from as few moves  as possible. There will be all sorts of images (landscapes, animals,  flowers and so on), and the pieces will be place in a different way each  time. As you advance they will become more and more complex, and in the  upper left side of the screen you will see the complete image, exactly  how you have to make it. In the easy mode you will have 4 blocks to  move, in the normal mode there will be 9 of them and in the expert mode  there will be 16. Good luck!</p>
<p>Another  free puzzle game that you can play for free, and which is also a  strategy game is the “My kingdom for the princess”. In this one a  tornado has destroyed the kingdom and Princess Helen needs to get back  to his father. So your objective is to take her there safe and sound.  You will find all sorts of adventures and difficulties along the way and  you must help the knight Arthur to restore the land using his skills.  Have fun!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you  are really bored and you don’t have anything to do, and you want to do  something that will stimulate your mind, you can always choose to play a  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_game">free online game</a>.  But not all the flash games that you will find on the internet will be  mind stimulating, because some of them are really silly or funny. That  games that are good for your mind are the <strong>puzzle games</strong>. They  usually have very simple controls, and most of the times you only need  to use the mouse in order to click on different places. But this doesn’t  mean that the games are simple, because some of them can be really  tricky, and can require a lot of thinking and concentration. There are  many games like this on the internet, and some of the <strong>best puzzle games </strong>are  the “point and click games”. And from this category the most famous  ones are the “escape the room games”. Here you are trapped in a room,  and you will have to click on different places across the room, in order  to trigger all sorts of actions that will finally help you to escape  that room.</p>
<p>And a site that offers just games from this category is <a href="http://www.pointnclickgames.com/">http://www.pointnclickgames.com/</a>.  There are hundreds of cool games here, and they are sorted on different  categories. There are 486 “escape the room games”, 137 adventure games,  76 point and click games, 33 simple puzzle games and 29 scary ones. So  you have where to choose from, and you won’t get bored with this site so  soon. So now let’s discuss about some of the games from this site, and  we’ll take a random one, for example “Lover’s room escape”. This is a  Valentine’s Day related game, and your goal is to prepare a gift and a  romantic dinner for your lover, and then open the door so that he or she  can come in and see the things that you prepared. After the games  begin, just begin to click on the screen in order to find useful items.  You will be able to move across the room, and from the first view you  can collect the necklace which is found under one pillow. From here also  get the beams that are found on the table and on the drawers. Then move  left or right to the next image. If you go right here there will be  some more beams on the table and also 2 plates that you can collect. In  order to help you along the way, the shape of the mouse cursor will  change when you point on an useful object. So this means that you can  easier find the items that are interesting you. After collecting some  more items, you will need to use them to trigger certain actions. For  example you can use the key to open the drawers, or the bottle opener to  open the champagne. Then use the glasses to pour it in them. Compared  to other “escape the room games” this one is not so difficult, and you  can finish it in just a few minutes. Good luck!<br />

Now  let’s move on to a slightly different puzzle game, for example Exmortis 3  which is found at the “scary games” category. In this one you will  explore some great and complex environments, solve complicated puzzles  and also interact with different characters. Compared to other simple  puzzle games this one has an advanced graphic and it looks quite nice.  This is why it will take some time before the game will load. It has a  story, characters with voices and other elements that are making more  interesting compared to other flash games. It has a guide at the  beginning, that will teach you all the things you need to know, in case  you are playing it for the first time. Even though it will require some  time to learn all the secrets of this game, after that it can be really  fun to play.<br />

</center><br />
So now  let’s discuss about one more game from this site, for example the  “Escape space game”.  In this one you are located on a spacecraft  somewhere in space and you are unaware how you got there. You will have  to collect items and use them in order to get back to earth. The music  from the game is quite nice and relaxing, and will help you to  concentrate on the game. Just click on different items, collect them and  use them later to trigger actions. For example the fork that you  collect from the room will be later used to open a panel, and then place  the light bulb into that slot. And now you will make that machine work.  This game doesn’t take place just in a single room, but you will be  able to move from one room to another. Once you collect the map, it will  be easier for you to see exactly where you are and where you want to go  next. The more you advance, the more items you will find and you will  need to look careful at each room to find out the clues you need. And  once you begin playing it you won’t give up until you complete the  entire game. Later your main task will be to collect all the colored  gems, and then place them into a machine. This machine will open another  door, that will get you to your escaping ship. Here you will have to  solve one more puzzle, and then you will finally be able to escape the  ship and get back to earth. After all it is quite a fun game, that will  require you just about 10 minutes to complete. Enjoy it!<br />

So here  were some examples of cool puzzle games from this site, but of course  there are many more others on this site and on other sites too. If you  know some other that are nice and worth playing, tell us all about them.  Have a nice day!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There  are more and more people these days that prefer to buy a new notebook  (also known as laptop) instead of buying a new desktop computer. And  it’s quite obvious why they are doing this, because a laptop is capable  of doing all of the tasks that a PC does, only that it is much smaller  and highly portable. You can use your PC only at home or at the office,  but you can take your laptop anywhere you want. You can take it to the  coffee shop, and check you’re email address while drinking your morning  coffee, or you can take it in your business trips, or at the beach or in  the park and so on. And  of course you can also play video games, no  matter where you are. But to benefit from the advanced technologies  included in a notebook you will have to pay more than you would normally  pay for a computer. There are many companies that are selling laptops,  such as: HP, Dell, Asus, Lenovo, Acer, Apple, Sony, Toshiba, Fujitsu,  MSI, Alienware, Gateway and others.  Each of them offers a wide variety  of products, with all sorts of technical details and features. Some  laptops are cheaper and weaker, while others are more expensive but also  very powerful.</p>
<p>And at the second category you will have to look if you want a <strong>gaming notebook.</strong> Since the video games of these days are really complex, and require  advanced features you will need a high end laptop to play them at a good  quality. Each of the expensive and powerful laptops from any company  can be used as a gaming notebook<strong>, </strong>but there is a company specialized only in making computers and laptops for advanced video games, and this is Alienware.<br />

<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/gaming-notebooks.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1538" title="gaming-notebooks" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/gaming-notebooks.jpg" alt="" width="292" height="189" /></a><br />

<a href="http://alienware.com/">Alienware</a> is an American computer hardware company which in time became a  subsidiary of Dell. It produces desktop computers and laptops with  custom enclosures and high performance features for video games. But of  course you can use these powerful laptops for other activities too, such  as video editing, simulation or audio editing. Besides computers and  laptops, Alienware also sales rebadged computer peripherals such as:  mice, keyboards, headsets and monitors…which are also suited for playing  video games. The company was founded quite recently compared to other  laptop producers, in 1996. its founders were Nelson Gonzalez and Alex  Aguila. The headquarters of the company is in Florida, United States of  America but in time it had also expanded in other parts of the world.</p>

<p>There  are not so many models of Alienware laptops, but the ones that exist are  really good, and also expensive. And for today we’ll discuss more about  one of these models, and we’ll choose the middle priced one – the <a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Alienware+-+M15X+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B+i7+Processor+-+Cosmic+Black/9722255.p?id=1218159405396&#038;skuId=9722255">Alienware – M 15 X Laptop</a> with Intel ® Core ™ i7 Processor &#8211; Cosmic Black, Model: M 15 X &#8211; 722  CSB | SKU: 9722255. It is quite a really expensive laptop, and its price  is 2,000 dollars at Best Buy. But of course for these money it offers  really good features, and now we’ll look closely at some of them. Its  processor is the best one on the market right now for notebooks, the  Intel ® Core ™ i7 – 720 QM processor, that features a 6 MB cache and 1.6  GHz processor speed with Turbo Boost up to 2.8 GHz. The RAM memory is  also big, and it comes with 4 GB of DDR 3 memory, which can be expanded  up to 8 GB.

As you  can see, the design of this laptop is really interesting too, and it  reminds of an alien device from some kind of video game. In order to  enjoy the games at their best quality, besides the display screen you  also need a really good video card. And this laptop comes with a NVIDIA  GeForce GTX 260 M graphics card that features 1 GB of video memory for  lush images. And it even has a HDMI port, so if you are not happy with  the display screen of 15 inch, you can connect the laptop to a High  Definition TV and enjoy the movies at a much better quality. And a great  gaming experience is not complete without a good sound, so this laptop  has built in stereo speakers with high definition surround sound audio  5.1 support. It also has a 8 in 1 media card reader that supports these  formats: Secure Digital, Secure Digital Input/Output, MultiMediaCard,  Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, xD-Picture Card, High Speed Secure  Digital and Secure Digital High Capacity. And it also has most of the  ports you might need, including 2 high speed USB ports, audio ports, an  Ethernet port and others. Even though it was made specially for video  games, this doesn’t mean that you can’t use it for other activities too.  and you can also browse the internet thanks to its built in Intel ®  5300 N Wireless-N mini card (802.11 b / g / n) and built in 10 / 100 /  1000 Ethernet LAN. It also comes with an installed version of the  Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64 bit operating system, so you can use  it right after you have bought it from the store.</p>
<p>So after all, the Alienware M 15 X is a really good <strong>gaming notebook, </strong>that  comes at quite a big price. In case you already used it, we invite you  to tell us more about it. Are you happy with the way it works? Does it  worth spending 2,000 dollars for it? And also tell us which video games  you played with this laptop?</p>
