			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There  are so many types of free online flash games, and there is a game about  anything you can think of. Some games are fictional and they have  characters and activities invented by the creators, while other games  are inspired by real facts and real persons. So there are games  involving real activities  such as driving, cooking, cleaning, playing  all sort of sports, fighting and so on. There are also some games with  inspired by real human, such as games with famous singers (Britney  Spears, <a id="aptureLink_WUMDRp7R96" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madonna%20%28entertainer%29">Madonna</a>, Justin Timberlake etc), or games with politicians  (Barrack Obama, George W. Bush, <a id="aptureLink_twNWPnkgZo" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony%20Blair">Tony Blair</a> etc.) and also games with  actors (Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and others). Some of these games are  really silly and funny, but there are also some games that require some  concentration and thinking and that will put your intelligence and  creativity to the test. And these are the <strong>free online puzzle games</strong>.  There are all sorts of them, and they usually have very simple controls  (mostly you have to use just the mouse). They are simple to play in  terms of controls…but the game play will get more and more difficult as  you advance in the game, and they will really put your intelligence to  the test.</p>
<p>So now let’s discuss about some puzzle games found on the famous site <a href="http://www.miniclip.com/games/ro/">miniclip.com</a> and we’ll choose the game called Scribble. In this game you must help  the Ink Blots get through the levels by drawing bridges, ramps and also  caging enemies. The Blots are some small creatures that are made out of  ink, and they are forming from the ink that is dropping. They are not so  smart, and they never look where they are going, so they will easily  fall or get hurt.<br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ffrr-online-puzzle-games.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1636" title="ffrr-online-puzzle-games" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ffrr-online-puzzle-games.jpg" alt="" width="98" height="73" /></a><br />
</center><br />
Your objective is to guide them safely to the end  flags from each level by using your special drawing powers. Just hold  the mouse button and drag it across the screen to draw lines, and make  path for the little creatures. Whether the line is going up or down, the  Blots will follow the exact path showed  by your lines. So you will  have to draw lines to make the Blots avoid obstacles, pits or slopes. If  you want to block a Blot, and make him turn the other way around,  simply draw a vertical line…and once he touches it he will turn back. .  But you can’t draw as much as you want, because you have just a limited  amount of ink. You will see how much ink you have left in the white bar  at the top of the screen, so use it wisely.<br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ffrr-online-puzzle-games.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1637" title="ffrr-online-puzzle-games" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/ffrr-online-puzzle-games.png" alt="" width="355" height="258" /></a><br />
</center><br />
The lines that you draw will  disappear after some time, and the ink bar will refill. So watch out  when a line is disappearing and make sure that the Blobs  are always  safe. Move the cursor to the edge of the screen, to see the whole level,  and this way you can always keep an eye on the creatures. On the flag  from the end of the level you will see a number, and this shows how many  Blots you still have to bring to complete the level. If you get that  number of Blots to the end, the level will end automatically. And you  can also use the “end” button to kill all the creatures left that you  can’t get to the flag. This game can be quite fun to play and  challenging but also a little difficult because the ink will disappear  quite soon, and you will have to move and act really fast. So here was just one of the many <strong>free online puzzle games</strong> from miniclip.com, but of course there are many more other games on  this site, and on other sites too. Enjoy them, and if you find some  other cool games that worth playing, please tell us all about them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The  world of free online games is very diversified, and there are thousands  of games on the internet with all sorts of topics and characters. Some  of them are really silly or funny, while others can be more serious.  Among the last category there are the puzzle games which require a lot  of concentration, and also the <strong>free online gambling games. </strong>Some  of them require concentration, but most of them are relying just on good  luck. There are sites where you can play casino games with real money  (so you can win or lose real money), but there are also sites where you  can play these games absolutely for free, and don’t win or lose  anything.</p>
<p>The  most famous casino games in the world are: blackjack, poker, roulette  and the slot games, and you can find them on hundreds of sites. The  basic rules of the games are the same, only that the graphic of the game  is different from one site to another. So now let’s discuss about some  of the <strong>free online gambling games </strong>from the site <a href="http://www.funny-games.biz/">funny-games.biz</a>,  and for today we’ll choose the Casino Blackjack. The version from this  site is a really nice one, a game that is really simple to play and also  realistic. The basic rules of Blackjack are quite simple…you first have  2 cards and you will have to sum the value of each card. The number  cards have the exact value written on them, and the other cards (J, Q  and K) have the value of 10.<br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-online-gaming-gambling.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1631" title="free-online-gaming-gambling" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-online-gaming-gambling.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="100" /></a><br />
</center><br />
There is also the A which can have the  value 1 or 11, depending how you want. Your goal is to be as close as  possible to 21, without exceeding this number. The best solution will be  to have exactly 21, and the perfect situation is when you have from the  first hand an A and one of the cards J, Q or K. In this case you have  exactly 21, and it is called “<a id="aptureLink_2gQhglYoGv" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackjack">Blackjack</a>”. But let’s say that you are not  that lucky, and you have in your hand a 3 and a 8. In this case the  total value is 11, which is quite far from 21. So now you can choose to  “hit” and you will receive another card.<a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS6uMfmY4gGXFNsscqT27osTUBR98VCJkXBAJtmwsAUUG8HQco&#038;t=1&#038;h=167&#038;w=223&#038;usg=__oBdodmaCuqPlDDoT2ariiZyR_7k"><br />
</a><br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-online-gaming-gambling-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1632" title="free-online-gaming-gambling-2" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-online-gaming-gambling-2.jpg" alt="" width="143" height="107" /></a><br />
</center><br />
When  you consider that taking another card is risky, and it will end up in  exceeding 21, then you can choose to “stand”. Also when you have 2 cards  of the same number (for example two 8), you can choose to “split” them.  You always play against the dealer (or the computer), and your  objective is to have better cards than he does. You start with an  initial amount of virtual money, and before receiving the cards you will  have to bet. In the lower left side of the screen there are the chips  with values of 1, 5, 25, 100 and 500, and you can bet as much as you  want, in the limit of how money you have. For example if you have 1,000,  you can’t bet 1,200. If you win you will double up the amount of money  that you bet, and if you lose you will lose those money. So after all it  is a nice and simple game, which is really appreciated by players from  all over the world. In case you don’t have enough money to play it at a  real casino, we invite you to try this free online Blackjack game. Good  luck!</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>There  are so many fun activities that you can do at the computer and on the  internet, but sometimes it is still possible that you get bored. So  whenever this happens, you can choose to play a video game. If you  already have an installed game into your computer, it is really simple –  you just enter that game and play it. But if you don’t have any  installed game, and you don’t wish to buy one, there is a solution for  you too – to play a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_game">free online game</a>.  These are usually small games, with a simple graphic and game play, and  they are made with the flash technology. There are thousands of them on  the internet, on many sites, and they have all sorts of topics. Some of  them are funny and silly, while others are more serious, and require  concentration and intelligence. From the “serious” games category, the  most popular ones are of course the puzzle games. They usually have very  simple controls (most of the times you need to use just the mouse to  click on the screen and perform different tasks) but they are  quite  complex and will require some thinking and concentration.</p>
<p>But the puzzle games can still be fun to play, and for today we’ll discuss more about some <strong>free online Christmas puzzle games. </strong>And a site specialized just in games of this kinds is: <a href="http://freechristmasgames.com/">http://freechristmasgames.com/</a><strong> . </strong>It  has a few games that are Christmas related, and among them you can  find: jigsaw puzzle games, memory puzzle games, slider puzzle games,  Sokoban games, Mah Jong games, card games and some others. In case you  prefer the jigsaw puzzle games, you can choose to play the “Nutcracker  puzzle game”. this is quite a nice game where you have to build together  the image of some Christmas gifts – a bunch of wooden colored soldiers.  So simply drag and drop the pieces in order to form the entire image.  In the upper side of the screen you will have the buttons for the game.  first there is the “shuffle” button that will allow you to rearrange the  pieces and start all over again, then there is the “hint” button, that  will show you an arrow between 2 pieces that go together, and then there  is the “options” button. When pressing it, there will be a new window,  where you can make all the setting for the game. you can select the  number of pieces for the puzzle, and they can begin as low as 9 and can  go as high as 150. So if you want to make the puzzle really difficult,  choose a large number of pieces. You can also choose the shape of the  pieces, between the classic ones and squares. You can choose to toggle  the sound on or off, and also the difficulty – easy, medium or  difficult. Near these buttons that we mentioned you can also see a  palette of colors, and if you click on any of those colors, you will  change the color of the background of the puzzle. So after al it is  quite a nice jigsaw puzzle game.<br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-online-christmas-puzzle-games.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1582" title="free-online-christmas-puzzle-games" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-online-christmas-puzzle-games.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="101" /></a><br />
</center><br />
There  are a few more other jigsaw puzzle games on this site, with all sorts of  nice Christmas images. But now let’s move on to a different game, for  example the Memory puzzle game. Here you will have a board covered with  red rectangles and you will have to clear all of them and uncover the  picture. With each play you can only turn 2 blocks, and you will have to  match the rectangles with the same image. Whenever you will match 2  images, they will disappear from the board, and you will uncover a part  of the entire image. The game has 12 matches, so be sure to find all of  them, in the smallest time possible. It is quite a nice game, that will  put your visual memory to the test. And finally you will unlock a  beautiful image of a <a id="aptureLink_UI1vRjB02Q" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas">Christmas</a> tree surrounded by gifts. So now let’s  play another one of the <strong>free online Christmas puzzle games </strong>from  this site, and now we’ll choose the “Slider puzzle”. Here you must click  on a piece to move it into the empty slot and your goal will be to  arrange the pieces in the correct position and form the entire image.  And of course the image is one related with Christmas. It may take some  time to complete this game, but after you are ready you will be really  pleased.<br />
<center><br />
<a id="aptureLink_3RayvRgdIM" style="margin: 0pt auto; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 0px 6px;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas"><img style="border: 0px none;" title="Christmas" src="http://placeholder.apture.com/ph/360x320_WikipediaArticle/" alt="" width="360px" height="320px" /></a><br />
</center><br />
Let’s  move on to another game, for example the “Sokoban” from this site. You  may already know this game, but this is a special version, made for  Christmas. Your goal is to push all the gifts on the socks into the  corner of the screen. Simply use the arrow keys to move the little Santa  around, and go next to the gifts and push them on the socks. The rule  is that Santa is only allowed to get behind the gifts and push them, but  he can’t pull them. Also you can push only one gift at a time, and if a  gift gets next to a wall, you won’t be able to push it in that  direction anymore. You will have to think before acting in this game,  because if you hurry up you might end up with no more possible moves  left. Sometimes you will first have to move certain gifts in order to  make room for others, so think of the places that are easy to reach and  which are difficult to reach. So push the gifts that are more hard to  reach to first. Sometimes you will have to place gifts near target  positions, and then make other moves  before pushing them on the socks.  If you will make mistakes there is no turning back, and you will have to  start the game all over again. So be careful, and think before making a  move. For all the <a id="aptureLink_aFJSkHSGil" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokoban">Sokoban</a> games the basic rule is to have patience and  practice a lot. So good luck!<br />
<center><br />
<a id="aptureLink_TGyWw0f1SA" style="margin: 0pt auto; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 0px 6px;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokoban"><img style="border: 0px none;" title="Sokoban" src="http://placeholder.apture.com/ph/360x320_WikipediaArticle/" alt="" width="360px" height="320px" /></a><br />
</center><br />
So here  were some examples of some nice puzzle games that are related to this  wonderful holiday – Christmas. In case you know some more others, we  invite you to tell us all about them. Have a nice 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>
<div id="aptureLink_bjsXKeRid9" style="margin: 0pt auto; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 0px 6px;"><object id="apture_embedPlayer1" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="340" height="285" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="flashvars" value="start=0&#038;domId=apture_embedPlayer1" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/o0AHawWK7qU&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;showinfo=0&#038;iv_load_policy=3" /><param name="name" value="apture_embedPlayer1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed id="apture_embedPlayer1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="340" height="285" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/o0AHawWK7qU&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;showinfo=0&#038;iv_load_policy=3" name="apture_embedPlayer1" flashvars="start=0&#038;domId=apture_embedPlayer1" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"></embed></object></div>
<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>Depending  on what you like to do, there are all sorts of fun activities that you  can do at the computer. For example you can watch a movie, or watch  pictures, or listen to music, or browse the internet or play a video  game. There are many games that you can choose from, from the small and  simple <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_game">online flash games</a>,  to more complex computer games. Those big and complex games usually  come on a CD or a DVD, that you first have to buy. So if you don’t want  to spend any money you can choose to play a free online game. You will  find thousands of games like this on the internet, with all sorts of  topics – racing games, shooting games, adventure games, arcade and so  on. They also have all sorts of characters, from fictional ones, to  cartoon and movie heroes to real persons. Some games are really silly  and funny, but there are some that are more serious too. And for today  we’ll discuss more about some <strong>free puzzle games. </strong></p>
<p>Usually  in these games you have to do all sorts of interesting things, and use  your mind to concentrate and find solutions. There are different  categories of puzzle games too, for example the “point and click puzzle  games” or the “jigsaw puzzle games”. In the first category all you need  to do is point and click on the screen using the mouse, in order to  trigger all sorts of actions. The second category is exactly like the  classic jigsaw puzzle games that you can play for real, with real  pieces. Only that the image is a virtual one, and you have to use the  mouse to put the pieces together and complete the image.<br />

<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/puzzle-games-free1.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1536" title="puzzle-games-free" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/puzzle-games-free1.png" alt="" width="327" height="293" /></a><br />

An interesting <strong>free puzzle game </strong>is  the one called “X spot”. Your objective in this game would be to find  the X on the screen, and click on it. The first level is the most simple  one, and you will have the X letter right in front of you, and all you  need to do is click on it. But as you advanced through the game the X  won’t be so obvious, and it would be hidden in the background. Or  sometimes you will have to trigger different actions in order to make  the X appear on the screen. In the second level, the X would be found in  the word “exit”. In another level you will have to click on a guy, then  he will get into a plane and fly up in the sky. Then you have to click  and make him jump off the plane and then click again to open his  parachute. And when he will land, you will notice the X on the landing  place. In the next level you will have to chop 2 trees, and make them  fall and make the X shape. In the next level you will be answered a few  simple questions. But as you tell the right answers, you will notice  that there isn’t any X appearing on the screen. So you will have to give  the wrong answer, and only then the X will appear. The levels are  getting more and more interesting, and this can be a really fun game.  Enjoy it!</p>
<p>Another  interesting puzzle game would be the Super Stacker. In this one you  will receive all sorts of shapes, with different sizes, and you will  have to arrange them in order to make a tower. And that tower will need  to remain firmly until the level is over. You will need to use your  imagination and concentration in order to arrange the blocks in the best  way possible. On each of the shape there will be a smiley face, to make  the game more fun and interesting. Good luck!</p>
<p><a id="aptureLink_70tDzgXPwm" style="margin: 0pt auto; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 0px 6px;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man"><img style="border: 0px none;" title="Pac-Man" src="http://placeholder.apture.com/ph/360x320_WikipediaArticle/" alt="" width="360px" height="320px" /></a></p>
<p>If you  prefer a free strategy game, then you can choose “The farmer”. Here you  will run a farm and your goal is to make as much profit as possible. In  order to accomplish this task you have to plant vegetables, fruits and  sell the eggs of the chicken you have. Among the things you can plant  there are carrots, potatoes, melons, grapes, corn and many more others.  This is quite a long game compared to others, and you will need a lot of  patience. A more  simple and quick game is the “Mahjong twins”, and here you have to click  on two balls that have the same color and make them disappear. Do this  as fast as possible to get a big score. If you like the classic fun game  called Pacman, then you can also play the “Ms. Pacman” game. The main  idea is the same, and you have to eat the white dots with your character  without letting the ghosts catch you. Along the way you can collect  items and fruits that will be useful. This game also comes with a Multi  level loader and bouncing fruits. Another  nice puzzle game is the “Blocky 2”, and here you have to make a big  rectangle that has all the four corner blocks of the same color. The  bigger the rectangle is, the bigger your score will be. In order to do  this simply click on a block and then drag the mouse to select the size  of the rectangle. You will have to clear all the blocks with bombs  before the big explosion. When you finish the game  and you think you  have a good score, you can submit it and compare it to others.</p>
<p><a id="aptureLink_S5xJsysYyI" style="margin: 0pt auto; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 0px 6px;" href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=Pacman"><img style="border: 0px none;" title="What people are saying about "Pacman"" src="http://placeholder.apture.com/ph/370x341_TwitterArticle/" alt="" width="370px" height="341px" /></a></p>
<p>There  are hundreds of more other cool puzzle games on the internet, but for  today we’ll discuss about one more – “The towers of Hanoi”. You have  probably already heard of this game from the real life. It is a  challenging one that will test your intelligence. You will have to  restack the rings and they need to be placed in a specific order – the  largest at the bottom, and the smallest on top. It will not be so easy,  and this is because you can’t place a larger piece on a smaller one. You  can only move a small piece on a larger one. Move them from one poll to  another until you get the correct order. Good luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The  internet is a huge worldwide network that is used by billions of people  each day. It can be used for all sorts of things, and here are just some  examples: you can search for any kind of information on any domain, you  can download music, you can watch movies, you can meet new people and  make new friends, you can play all sorts of video games and the list can  go on. As we said, you can play a lot of games on the internet, and  these are the free online games. They are usually simple and fun games,  that can be played directly from your internet browser, without needing  to download or install anything. There are all sorts of categories of  games, and one of the most famous are the “puzzle games”. These are  really simple games in terms of controls, and usually you only need to  use the mouse to point and click on the screen. But in rest they are  quite complicated, and you will have to think and concentrate in order  to advance to the next level.</p>
<p>There are many sites where you can <strong>play free puzzle games </strong>and one of them is <a href="http://www.funny-games.biz/puzzle-games.html">funny-games.biz</a>.  So let’s discuss about some of the puzzle games found here, and we’ll  begin with the one that is simply called “Asterisk”. In this game your  objective it to wide the contours of the various shapes (circles,  squares, hexagons, triangles) in order to collect all the stars and  comets into the shape. Simply click on one shape, and then hold the  mouse button pressed as long as you want to expand that shape. Your  objective will be to collect all the stars from the screen, but this  will not be so easy, because you are not allowed to teach the contours  between them, or to touch a contour with the moon or the sun. As you  advance through the game there will be more and more stars, and also  more shapes on the screen. But this doesn’t mean that you have to  enlarge each of the shapes. Sometimes it is enough to enlarge just 2 or 3  of the shapes, and they will cover the entire screen and collect all  the stars. So be careful, because the solution may be a really simple  one. Also collect the flying stars in order to get more points. In some  levels you will have only the moon, while in others there will be the  moon and the sun too. So be careful to avoid both of them, and also to  avoid the other contours that you made. The game has 20 levels, and it  can be really fun to play. Good luck!<br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/play-puzzle-games-free.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1533" title="play-puzzle-games-free" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/play-puzzle-games-free.gif" alt="" width="235" height="221" /></a><br />
</center><br />
So  let’s move on to another fun puzzle game found on this site, for example  the one called “Yin finds Yang”. This is a physics platform puzzle game  and you have to get the yin and yang together in order to complete the  level. In order to do this you will have to remove the blocks in the  correct order and use gravity in your favor. Simply click on a block to  remove it, but be careful that not all the blocks can be removed. When  you will remove one you will usually release one of the Yin or Yang, and  they will roll down. You will have to set up the court of each of the  circles, in order to make them meet at one point. You can make them meet  on one of the platforms, but they can also meet somewhere in the air,  and you will still move on to the next level. If you didn’t succeed in  bringing the two signs together from the first try, you don’t have to  worry because you can restart the level for as many times as you want.  After all it is a really fun game that will put your intelligence to the  test. Good luck playing it!<br />

</center><br />
There  are hundreds of more other fun puzzle games on the internet, and for  today we’ll discuss about just one more – the Icebreaker. Your goal here  is to rescue the Vikings who have become trapped in the ice. There will  be a Viking boat on the sea with a small Viking on it, and a few other  Viking trapped in the ice all over the map. You will have to set them  free, and bring them to the boat. Use the mouse to draw lines on the ice  in order to cut it. Cut a piece of ice that surrounds one of the  Vikings, and make that piece fall on the boat. Once it gets there, the  Viking that sits on the boat will  break the ice with a hammer, and set  the Viking free. Once you set free all of the men from a level, you will  move on to the next one. Once you advance through the levels they will  be more and more complex, and you will have to use the arrow keys in  order to look at the whole map. You will need to be careful, because in  each level you will have a limited number of ice cuts that you can make.  The game is really fun to play and very addictive, and the more you  play it, the more you will want to advance in the game, and see more  levels. So whenever you are bored and you are looking for a really fun  game to keep you busy, you can choose the Icebreaker. Have fun playing  it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman">Batman</a> is a famous fictional character which was created by the artist Bob  Kane. He first appeared as a comic book superhero in Detective Comics,  edition 27, many years ago in 1939. And since then it appeared in many  other comic books, movies, cartoons, video games and all sorts of  merchandise. The main character is Bruce Wayne, who is an industrialist  and philanthropist who witnessed the murder of his parents when he was a  child, and he swore revenge on crime. So now he has a secret identity  as Batman and he saves the town (Gotham  City) from bad guys. In time he  had many partners such as Robin, his butler Alfred or Batgirl, and also  many enemies. Among them there is: the Joker, the Penguin, Mr. Freeze,  Poison Ivy , Catwoman and many more others. He doesn’t have any special  super  powers,  but he uses his intellect, detective skills, wealth,  physical powers and also science and technology in order to defeat the  villains.</p>
<p>As we said there are also Batman movies, cartoons and video games, and for today we’ll discuss more about some <strong>free online Batman games. </strong>And we’ll discuss about some that are found on the site <a href="http://www.funny-games.biz/search_res.html?search_string=batman">funny-games.biz</a>.  The first one is simply called “Batman”. Your objective here is to save  Batwoman from the clutches of the evil Penguin. So you must defeat all  the helpers of the Penguin in order to get to Batwoman. In this game you  have to use the arrow keys to move left, right and jump, the down arrow  key to dodge, the CTRL to punch, the space bar to use batrope or  gargoyles and the up arrow combined with CTRL to do a jump kick. The  graphic of the game is quite nice, not too fancy, but not really simple  either. The game play is a little difficult, especially that you don’t  have any weapons, and you need to get really close to your enemies in  order to punch them. And unlike you, they have all sorts of weapons.<br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-online-batman-computer-games.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1528" title="free-online-batman-computer-games" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-online-batman-computer-games.png" alt="" width="250" height="401" /></a><br />
</center><br />
So now let’s move to another <strong>free online Batman game </strong>from  this site, for example the one called “Batman Rock’em Sock’em”. This is  a fighting game and you will have to defeat your enemy in the ring. You  can use any character you want, whether if it is a positive one or a  negative. You can choose between Batman, Robin, The Joker, The Penguin,  The Riddler and also Catwoman. You need to use the arrow keys to move,  the A key to left punch, the S key to right punch and the D key to  dodge. You won’t be able to choose any character at the beginning, and  you will have to unlock some of them as you advance through the game.  The faces of the characters are similar to those from an old Batman  movie. This is their face when you have to choose a character, because  in the game they look quite different. The characters in the ring are  really funny, and they have very big heads and a smaller body. They have  some kind of robotic arms, and they will move the really fast as you  press the A or S keys. During the game you will hear voices from the  original movie, and also all sorts of punching sounds. You will have to  punch really fast, and also to avoid the hits from your enemy, because  your life ends really fast. But the life of the opponent ends fast too,  so you will finish a match in just a few seconds. After all it is a  really nice game, much more fun than the previous one. So enjoy it, and  be sure to unlock all the characters. And for the last of them you will  have quite an interesting surprise!<a href="http://www.gameslist.com/thumb/3/Batman-Rock-Em-Sock-Em.jpg"><br />

So  let’s discuss about one more fun game with Batman from this site, and  we’ll choose the one called “Batman The RoofTop caper”. Your mission  here is to take it to climb to the rooftops and defeat all the enemies  that get in your way. Also be sure to collect all the useful items, such  as health spheres, batarans and point orbs. Use the arrow keys to move,  the D key to use Batarang, the S key to use a grappling hook and the F  key to fire. The graphic of this game is similar to the first one we  presented, but it is much more complex and also easier and more fun to  play. Not only that you have a lot of weapons that can make your mission  easier, but you are also learned all the secrets of the game when you  begin it. So have fun playing this game!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There  are many fun activities that you can do while staying at the computer,  and one of them would be to play a video game.

These are simple and really fun games  that can be played directly on the internet, directly on the site  without having do download or install anything.

They also have all sorts of  characters, including persons from the real life (such as actors,  singers and even politicians).

Some of the most famous categories of flash  games are: driving games, shooting games, adventure games, fighting  games, puzzle games, sport games, dress up games, role playing games and  so on.</p>
<p>And for today we’ll focus on just one of these categories, and we’ll discuss more about some <strong>free online jigsaw puzzle games. </strong>There  are many of them online, and they have the purpose of replacing the  real jigsaw puzzle games. So no more messing around with hundreds of  small pieces, and no more worrying that your puzzle is really fragile,  and it can easily be destroyed…you can play the online version, and here  you won’t need to worry about anything. All that you have to do is  concentrate on finding the right place for each piece of the puzzle, and  nothing more. And this is because on most of the <strong>free online jigsaw puzzle games, </strong>once  you place two correct pieces together, they will stay like that no  matter what you do. And the great part is that now you can move the  whole block of pieces.<br />

There are many sites that are offering this type of games, and one of them is <a href="http://www.jigzone.com/">http://www.jigzone.com/</a> . There are all sorts of cool puzzles on this site that are just  waiting for you to solve. The puzzle images are sorted on categories,  and these are: animals, art, flowers &#038; gardens, holidays, nature  scenes, ocean life, sport, transport, travel and things. But this is not  all, because every category has some more subcategories. For example at  “animals” there are images with: cats, dogs, birds, butterflies,  critters and also mixed animals. Depending on your skill and on the free  time you have, you can choose the number of puzzle pieces that you want  to have. And you can choose from as low as 6 pieces to as high as 240  pieces. There are the classic puzzle pieces with the already famous  shape, but there are also other types of puzzle shapes such as: zig zag,  blocks, tetris, triangle, usa, circles, bulbs, stars and others. Once  you begin a game, all you have to do is drag and drop the pieces, and  place them in the correct order to form the large image that you will  see in the left side of the screen. Once you place a piece into its  correct position you will hear a sound, and it will be locked there, no  matter what you do. If you have a block of let’s say 5 pieces, you will  easily be able to move the entire block (instead of moving each piece  individually). In the lower side of the screen you will see your actual  time, your fastest time and the average time. Below there is also the  rating for that specific picture. If you get blocked you can always auto  solve the puzzle or start it all over again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whenever you are bored and you don’t have anything to do, and you  wish to do something interesting that will take away your boredom, you  can always choose to <strong>play </strong>some <strong>computer games. </strong>If you are a  child or a teenager you probably already have a lot of video games on  your computer. But the video games are not just for the young ones, but  they can be played by anyone, no matter the age. So let’s say that you  are a little older than the period when you were having many video games  stored on your hard drive…and now you are quite bored and you want to  play a video game. But you just don’t have one installed on your  computer, and you don’t have time or money to go and buy one from the  store. What can you do now? Well the solution is a really simple one…you  can choose to play a free <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_game">online flash game.</a> These are usually small and also really addictive games, which are  found on the internet for free. And you don’t even need to download them  or install them into your computer, because you can play them directly  from that website.</p>
<p>There are thousands of video games of this type with all sorts of  characters and stories. And you can find some of the best of them on the  site <a href="http://www.miniclip.com/games/en/">miniclip.com</a>.  the games from this site are still small and easy to play, but they  have quite a complex graphic for simple flash games. And this is why  this site is one of the most popular ones in the world for games of this  kind. So let’s pick a random game from here and discuss more about it.  Let’s begin with the “Soccer five”. As its name says, this is a soccer  game. But it is not just a regular one where you play on a classic field  with the national teams of some countries, this is more of a “street  soccer” game. You will play as the “Miniclip team” and you will have  different opponent teams such as the “Wild wasps”.<br />

<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/computer-games-how-to-download-21.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1513" title="computer-games-how-to-download-2" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/computer-games-how-to-download-21.jpg" alt="" width="189" height="265" /></a><br />
</center><br />
You can choose to  play in the practice mode to learn the controls of the game, or you can  start a tournament and beat all the teams in order to become the  champion. The clothes of the soccer players are quite unusual for this  sport, and they look more like basketball players rather than soccer  players. But still the graphic and the game play of this soccer game are  really good for just a simple flash game. The controls may seem  difficult first, but after you get used with them it will be ok. You  have to use the arrow keys to control the players and move them on the  pitch, the Z key to pass or swap players, the X key to shoot and also  the C key to tackle and opponent. The game is quite fun, and you can  spend some time playing it. Have fun!</p>
<p><a id="aptureLink_7g9BxzTz4C" style="margin: 0pt auto; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 0px 6px;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniclip"><img style="border: 0px none;" title="Miniclip" src="http://placeholder.apture.com/ph/360x320_WikipediaArticle/" alt="" width="360px" height="320px" /></a></p>
<p>So let’s play one more game for today from miniclip.com, for example  the one called “Worm food”. Here in this nice game you have to build up  speed to charge in and attack the villagers. Also be careful to avoid  obstacles because they will slow you down in your mission to eat all the  villagers on the screen. Use the left and right keys to turn the worm,  and the up key to accelerate or the down key to slow down. Build up to  the top speed to jump and reach higher places. Complete the levels by  eating all the villagers that you can see on the screen. There is also a  mini map that will show you where the villagers are on the level and  also the objects that you have to avoid. You will be shown in a green  circle, the humans are shown in yellow while the obstacles are red.</p>

<p>So have fun  playing these video games, and if you know some others  that are really interesting and worth playing, tell us more about them.  Have a nice day!</p>
