Working on the fourth? Here’s some browser-based games you’ve never heard of.

I built you a campaign... but I eated it.

I don’t play Bejeweled, not that there’s anything wrong with that – I just don’t.

If you’re stuck in your cubicle this holiday, looking for a way to stick it to the man. Here’s some games that you not have heard of to help you get through.


DOFI-GOLF (CAT WITH BOW GOLF)


Fair warning – this game will eat your life. So addictive and bizarre, I lose time when I play this game. I have no idea what’s going on – and I rarely get very far… but I just keep DOING IT AND DOING IT. Basically you’re a cat with a bow and arrow (of course) playing golf, but using your body attached to a HUGE rubber band as the ball. Thanks Japan!

Desktop Tower Defense


I’m sure you’ve played this – or some variant, but since I’ve spent more time with this game that I have with my past three girlfriends combined.

DOUBLE WIRES


Another DOFI creation. The idea here is that you’re a dude with TWO MASSIVE STICK HANDS, trying to navigate a world with no ground. Craziness abounds.

Planetfall Emulator


The best Infocom game ever – Planetfall is brilliant and hilarious. It’s one of the first games that I totally obsessed over. Text based adventure only – no pictures, no graphics. 100% awesome.

QWOP


This the the . basically you’re controlling the legs of an Olympic runner with four keys on the keyboard. IMPOSSIBLE AND ADDICTING.
