			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The internet is full of thousands of free online flash games that you can try, and they have all sorts of topics and characters. One of the most popular category are the puzzle games, and for today we’ll discuss more about some <strong>fun puzzle games </strong>from this <a href="http://www.funny-games.biz">site</a>. so let’s begin with the one called “The Dreamers”. Among the puzzle games some of the most popular ones are the “point and click games”, and it’s the same for this game too. your objective would be to repair the dream machine and restore peace to the world and relieve the dreamers of their nightmares. Simply use the mouse to click on the screen on different places and to perform all sorts of actions.</p>
<p>If the game seems too complicated for you, here are the solutions: turn on the fan to blow the giant’s bubbles towards the condensor. Attach the empty dream ball to the bottom of the condensor, once the giant is happy again. The ball will fill up and then you can pick it up. The book found next to the rocket has some clues about the game, so click on it in your inventory to read it. Pump water into the whale from the pump using the tube from the life planet. Attach the tube from the life planet to the water pump and turn it on. The interesting part about this game is that you will walk on a  round planet, and once you move, the whole perspective will move too. there are more planets to play one, for example there is also the <a id="aptureLink_m7Nsccnj2d" href="http://www.planetcolor.com/">Color planet</a>. </p>
<p><center> <a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/fun-puzzle-games.jpg"><img src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/fun-puzzle-games-300x125.jpg" alt="" title="fun-puzzle-games" width="300" height="125" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1689" /></a></center> </p>
<p>Here there are also different items, such as: the crystal , and you will have to rotate it so that the red side is pointing down, the orbs, which can be used on the transport pads, another crystal found in the right side which needs to point with the blue side down, a light which needs to be green to complete the puzzle, and also the lower crystal. That spot is first empty, and you will need to collect the crystal from the magic planet, and then once you place it here rotate it so that the yellow side is pointing down. Another <a id="aptureLink_Z9ECDioIW4" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet">planet</a> would be the Central planet. Here you will find a vent, and you have to attach the balloon to this and then click on it to fill it with air. </p>
<p><center> <a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fun-Puzzle-Games.jpeg"><img src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Fun-Puzzle-Games-208x300.jpg" alt="" title="Fun Puzzle Games" width="208" height="300" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1690" /></a></center> </p>
<p>There is also a key that can be used to unlock the chest on the music planet, and a ladder which you can climb to reach the floating orb. Then you will have to use the net collected earlier and collect that orb. From the Central planet you can get to 4 other ones: the Life planet, the <a id="aptureLink_xUQq5SCQEE" href="http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Network_and_Internet/Misc__Communications_Tools/Music_Planet_2007.html">Music planet</a>, the Magic planet and the Main planet. As you can see, the game is really complex, and has a lot of things that you need to discover. So it would be much easier to simply visit this page, and find out the entire walkthrough, with <a href="http://www.bubblebox.com/gameinfo/1858.htm">images</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whenever you are tired after a long day and you are looking for some fun and relaxation, you can choose to play a video game. You probably don’t have enough time to play a really complex computer game, so this is why it is much more simple to play a free <a id="aptureLink_4Qfrk1XzZR" href="http://www.onlineflashgames.org/">online flash game.</a> these type of games are really simply to play and to understand, and most of them are ready in just a few minutes, so that you can move on to another cool game. they are just long enough so that you can play a <strong>game</strong> when you take a 10 minutes break from work. They don’t even need to be installed, and this is because they can be played directly from the Internet browser. And besides all of this, they are absolutely <strong>free</strong>, and all you need to play them is a computer and a connection to the Internet.</p>
<p>There are many sites with such games and one of them is <a href="www.funny-games.biz ">this</a> one.The games from this site are sorted on different categories, and these are: sport games, shooting games, <a id="aptureLink_zjYHA3JiNB" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing%20video%20game">racing games</a>, puzzle games, multiplayer games, fighting games, casino games, card games, board games and also arcade games. So now let’s choose a random game and discuss more about it, for example Cyclo maniacs. Here you need to ride your bike through many interesting levels. There are 20 models of bikes, 26 tracks that you can try and also 70 achievements to unlock. To control your bike you will need to use the arrow keys and the space bur or the X key to jump. If you have a horn, you can use it by pressing the B key. This game doesn’t take place just on earth, but there are also tracks on the moon and on an asteroid.</p>
<p><center> <a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-gaming-2.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1641" title="free-gaming-2" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/free-gaming-2.png" alt="" width="340" height="180" /></a></center> </p>
<p>But first you will play in the desert. You will need to accomplish different tasks, and as you advance in the game you can also buy upgrades for your bike. There are 20 bikes, and each one has a character riding it. And they are not just regular riders, but famous people or funny things like: robots, Mr. C, Elvis Presley, a ninja, a bear, a stick man, Bruce Lee, the comedians <a id="aptureLink_0po0oWAc16" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurel%20and%20Hardy">Stan and Bran</a>, a dinosaur, a skeleton, a zombie and others. So press the up arrow key to gain speed, and you can also use the right arrow key to lean forward and go even faster. When you jump in the air be sure to land safely, and depending on how much time you spend in the air you will get more stunt points. You can also get trick points by making forward or backward somersaults. You can also the wheelies and they will bring you points as well. To have more money, try to finish among the first positions. For the first place you will get 100 dollars, for second – 50 and for third – 25. After all it is a really fun game. good luck!</p>

			<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 really diversified and there are hundreds  of sites and  thousands of cool games that you can play. And the great  part is that they are all for free. All you need to have is a computer  and a connection to the internet, and you can play any game you want.  There are all sorts of topics and all kinds of characters so there will  be a game for anyone.</p>
<p>Among the many categories of flash games there are also the <strong>online puzzle games , </strong>and  about one of them we’ll discuss more today. And we’ll choose the game  called “Pipol smasher” which can be found on the site funny-games.biz.  This is a really cool physics puzzle game in which your objective is to  crush all the people from the level by controlling the cars that you  have. The controls are really simple, and you only need to click once on  a car to start it, and click on it again to stop it. Depending on the  level you can also use all the items that are surrounding you and they  can really help you.</p>
<p><a id="aptureLink_UeWSipQcPI" style="margin: 0pt auto; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 0px 6px;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video%20game"><img style="border: 0px none;" title="Video game" src="http://placeholder.apture.com/ph/360x320_WikipediaArticle/" alt="" width="360px" height="320px" /></a></p>
<p>The only thing you need to be careful at is not to  drive a car off the platforms. The <a id="aptureLink_5oaaIC0kVh" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game">game</a> can be quite violent, but in a  really fun way. In the first level you will have 2 cars and 2 humans,  and you will need to click on a car, let it drive itself for a few  meters until it hits the human, and then click again to stop it. Do the  same with the second car, and the level is complete. Since the lower car  has a wall in front of it, you don’t even need to stop it, and you can  let it hit the human with full speed. In the second level you will have  one care and 8 humans. Start the car and let it go all the way down, on  the last platform, but be sure to stop it in time. In the third level  there are 3 platforms, 3 humans and six cars. Here you have two options:  you can either activate only one care from each level until it hits the  human, and then stop it…but you can also activate both cars from the  same level, and let them crash into each other and catch the human  between them. This is a much more fun method to complete this level <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/puzzle-games-on-line.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1634" title="puzzle-games-on-line" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/puzzle-games-on-line.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="180" /></a><br />
</center><br />
In the  next level you have only a car and a human, but you will have to be  careful because the car will go really fast, and jump higher than the  platform. So you will need to drive it really slow, and make it fall  directly on the human that is situated below. In the level 5 you will  drive some kind of a big bus. You can click on it and let it go all the  way, because it will stop into a brick wall. It will then activate the  platform below, and throw it directly on the person and kill it. But you  will then have to stop the car, otherwise it will fall too. the games  goes on and on, and there are more and more fun methods to kill humans  with cars. After all it is a really nice game, and we invite you to try  it. Have fun!</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>When someone talks about <strong>computer games</strong>, first thing that  passes through your mind are the modern 3D high-detail and sparkly video  games, that are currently flooding the market on every country. What  about <a title="Old Computer Games" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_games" target="_blank"><strong>old computer games</strong></a>?  Some may highlight the first few, first person action games that  spreaded, as a world wide phenomena such as Doom or Duke Nukem, and you  are right they are indeed the stone markers for the computer video  gaming era, but certainly not the first.</p>
<p>The first video game dates back in January 25, 1947 and it was  a  Cathode Ray Tube Amusement Device made by Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. Estle  Ray Mann.  The game itself consisted of an analog device, that allowed  the user to control a vector drawn dot on a display borrowed from a  military radar. It may not be the prettiest sight nowadays, but back  then it was something revolutionary, it was an innovation and marked the  beginning of the blooming gaming market. The profits from such a new  market had the potential to generate billions of dollars and they were  right.<br />

<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/old-computer-games.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1599" title="old-computer-games" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/old-computer-games.jpg" alt="" width="204" height="157" /></a><br />
</center><br />
A good example of an <strong>old computer game</strong> that became popular  amongst the teenagers and adults back then, was Spacewar written by  Martin Graetz, Steve Russell, and Wayne Wiitanen, all of them being  students at MIT &#8211; Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The game was  written for DEC PDP-1 computer in 1961 and with the help of the  computer&#8217;s vector display, two spaceships battled each other.</p>
<p>To play a <strong>computer game</strong> now all you have to do, is to own a  personal computer, buy a game from the millions out there that suits  your needs, install the game and let the fun begin, back in 1960 there  were a few more tedious and complex steps needed to perform before  playing anything that resembled close to a game. The modern computer  games are delivered on a cd/dvd easy to install, while the <a title="History of video games" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_video_games" target="_blank"><strong>old computer games</strong></a> came as written code, most of the times found on magazines. The early  gamers had to program their own games using the code found in the  magazines, on their own computer, thus its player base needed some  knowledge in Computer Science field. All of these previous steps being  eliminated as soon as the first external storage devices became  available for the public, thus increasing further more the number of  potential buyers/clients for this new market.<br />

<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/old-computer-games-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1600" title="old-computer-games-2" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/old-computer-games-2.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="172" /></a><br />
</center><br />
Another benefit from this new market was that almost with every <strong>computer game</strong> sold back then, a personal computer was sold along with it it also. We  can say that when the computer gaming era started, it forced the  computer manufacturers to build smaller and cheaper personal computers  making the everyday man more opened to this new technology that is very  common in the present times.</p>
<p><strong>Computer games</strong> spreaded like a highly contagious disease  amongst people and there was nothing ahead that could stop or slow down  its rate, the gaming market continuing to exist and its clients numbers  increasing with each and every passing day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are thousands of cool flash games on <a href="http://www.funny-games.biz/">this site</a>,  and for today we’ll discuss about some of them. They are sorted on  categories, and these are: Arcade Games, Board Games , Card Games,  Casino Games, Fighting Games, Multiplayer Games, Puzzle Games,  Racing  Games, Shooting Games and also Sport Games. So there is a game for  everyone, and for today we’ll discuss more about some <strong>puzzle adventure games. </strong>Let’s  begin with the one called “the Numz game”. This one has an interesting  graphics, and it looks just like a really old game from the 80’s for a  TV game console. The music is also a similar one, that will make you  remind yourself of the old times when you used to play video games on  your <a id="aptureLink_d0vFEXddCb" href="http://www.crunchbase.com/company/nintendo">Nintendo</a> or Sega game console. You will have to use the arrow keys  to move the small pink “thing” and collect all the coins, and finally  reach the exit of the level. But this is not as simple as it first  looks, because you can go wherever you want with the character.</p>
<p>Once you  press one arrow key, for example left, he will go in that direction and  he won’t stop until he reaches an obstacle (a blue square wall). In  case there is no square in his path, he will get out of the screen, and  you will lose. So be careful and first look carefully at the direction  you are heading, and only then press that arrow key. Be sure to reach a  blue square, and also to collect all the golden coins on your way. You  have to move from one square to another until you reach the exit door  that will take you to the next level. Besides the arrow keys , you can  also use the P key to pause the game, the 0 key to turn off the sounds  or the + or – to turn the volume of the sounds up or down. But it is  quite unusual that you can turn off the sounds of the game, but you  can’t modify in any way the music from the game. So this can get quite  annoying after a while.<br />
<center><br />
<a id="aptureLink_pwRAVhYn7Q" style="margin: 0pt auto; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 0px 6px;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo%20Entertainment%20System"><img style="border: 0px none;" title="Nintendo Entertainment System" src="http://placeholder.apture.com/ph/360x320_WikipediaArticle/" alt="" width="360px" height="320px" /></a><br />
</center><br />
The only thing that you can do if you get bored  with one song is to reach a white square that has a musical note on it,  and then you will get a new song….or you can also turn off your speakers  <img src='http://thechallengebase.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Beginning with the level 4 of the game there will be some enemies  (small bees that are flying around), and you will have to avoid them,  otherwise you die. Beginning with level 6 there will be some doors along  your path that will block you. And in order to unlock them you will  have to collect keys that are located across the map. After all it is a  nice game, and even though the graphic is not the most complex one, it  can still be a great game to play when you are bored. Have fun!<br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/puzzle-adventure-games.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1588" title="puzzle-adventure-games" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/puzzle-adventure-games.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="80" /></a><br />
</center><br />
So now let’s discuss about another <strong>puzzle adventure game </strong>that  is located on this site, and we’ll choose the one called “Roly poly  Cannon 3”. So this is the third part of this game, and since there were  made 2 other previous parts it means that this is a nice and popular  game. You will have to use your shooting skills and eliminate all the  black Roly Polys from each level. You will also have to avoid the white  ones, because they must survive. Simply use the mouse to aim, and then  you will launch bombs from your cannon. Move the mouse further away from  the canon to shoot with more power, and keep the mouse closer to shoot  easier. In the level selection you can choose between 3 levels, but of  course it will be recommended to try all of them. There is a total  number of 50 levels, so you can play this game for a long time. The game  is really fun to play, and it will get more and more complicated as you  advance through the levels. Any bomb that you shoot will have 3 seconds  until it explodes. If there are other bombs across the map, when one of  your bombs touches them, they will be activated and they will blow too  in 3 seconds. If you get stuck and you can’t do anything more, press the  space bar in order to restart the level. The fourth level is really  fun, and the black guys are located right above your canon, so you can’t  reach them. So you will have to shoot your bombs into the barrel  located in your right side. Push that barrow until it reaches the big  bomb, and it will activate the bomb. In 3 seconds the huge bomb will  explode, throwing the barrel right into the 3 black guys, and destroying  all of them.<br />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/puzzle-adventure-games-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1589" title="puzzle-adventure-games-2" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/puzzle-adventure-games-2.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a><br />
</center><br />
Whenever you kill one of the white guys, the game is over  and you will have to restart that level. In the 5<sup>th</sup> level you  won’t have to throw the bombs from the upper side, because this way you  will kill the white guy. Throw your bombs into the lower right side,  into that brown stick. When you hit it, it will rotate and activate the  other bombs. They will explode, and kill just the black guy, and the  white one is safe. The 6<sup>th</sup> level is quite simple, and if you  manage to throw just one bomb in the right place, it will trigger a  chain reaction, and all the black guys will be destroyed with one shot.  In level 7 you will have to separate the white roly-pollies from the  black ones, and this can be quite a tricky job, and you will have to  move really fast. If you can’t find a solution to one of the levels,  just press on the “solution” button, and you will be taken to this<a href="http://www.bubblebox.com/gameinfo/1814.htm"> site</a>,   and here you have visual training for each level. In level 8 if you  throw the bomb directly to the black guy, he will also push the white  roly-poly on fire. So you will die, and this is not the best solution.  What you need to do is to first throw a bomb at the barrel, and make it  to fall on the fire. Only then throw the bomb to the black poly. But  enough about this game, and we’ll let you discover the solutions to the  rest of the levels. After all it is a really nice and addictive game,  and you can spend a lot of time until completing all the 50 levels. In  case you simply can’t find any solution to a level, just check the  videos that are showing you how to pass each level. Have fun!</p>
<p>So here  were some really nice puzzle adventure games from this site. In case  you know some others that are cool and worth playing, we invite you to  tell us all about them. Have a nice day!</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 />
<center><br />
<a href="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/internet-puzzle-games.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1577" title="internet-puzzle-games" src="http://thechallengebase.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/internet-puzzle-games.jpg" alt="" width="221" height="228" /></a><br />
</center><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>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 />

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 />

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 />
