Do you remember those old fashioned puzzles that we used to have as kids? The ones where the picture was split into little tiles and there was only one space on the board. You have to maneuver the tiles around in order to make the picture?

Well Click N Slide is just like those old fashioned games, the only difference being that you play the game online and you click to slide pieces rather than pushing them physically. There are different pictures to choose from and you can choose the number of tiles you want to play from 3x3 up to 6x6. The game is very simple and all you have to do is click on the tile you want to move and it will move if there is a space for it to move to.

At the side of the puzzle, you are told the time it is taking you to complete the puzzle, what percentage of the puzzle you have completed and of course the number of moves it has taken you to get to the stage you are at. There are numerous different pictures to choose from ranging from animals to landscapes to city views. If you don't like one of the pictures you are given, just click on the arrow to get the next picture. Although a simple concept which is easy to play, Click N Slide does demand rather a lot of thought and concentration; it is definitely another form of brain exercise for those of us that like doing puzzles and challenging tasks.

Wow, I spent so long playing this game that I forgot I had to write about it. This is a great game. It is a thinking man's game.

Blox can be found in the Games2go website. It is considered a puzzle game but I think it should feature as one of the top games. It is a simple idea but very clever. Basically you have all these different levels of puzzles where you have to try and get the same color blocks together to match causing them to explode and disappear. Before you start each level it is a good idea to figure out what you think you want to do as once you have moved your blocks, there is no turning back. The blocks also work with gravity, in other words if there is a hole to fall down, they will.

As the levels progress you will see it gets harder and harder making you think even more. Do not despair though, if you don't manage it the first time you get a chance to retry the round until you do. What is nice about this game is that not only is it fun but you also get to think through each game. I sort of feel like I am taking my brain for a workout when I play Blox as I have to think everything through and make sure it works before I make my move. As I mentioned at the beginning, I enjoyed this game so much that I forgot to even write about it, I think that says it all!

Flying Furries is one of those cute games that make you think of your childhood. Not only are you looking at little cute furry animals but you also have to try and get them into a basket to try and save them without hitting a bee or another horrible flying animal that can pop the balloon and send the furry creature to the ground.

By clicking on the mouse you can create a balloon for your little animal and it flies up to a basket. But there are a few limitations with this. Firstly the basket is only in one place of the screen and if you miss it then that is it, your little animal has flown away, never to be seen again. If you hit a bee then the balloon pops and you lose a life. Together with this you have a time limit of minute to get a stated number of furry animals into the basket.

At first it is quite difficult to understand the controls of this game as you think you can click anywhere and just by chance get one of the fast moving furry animals into the basket. But as you practice and play the game more and more, you will notice that there is a method to where and how to click on the animals in order to get them in the baskets. The furry animals move very fast so you need to make sure you are watching at all times and try not to click when the bees come as the balloons will pop. At each level there are more bees and obstacles along the way but also there are more bonus symbols to help you a long. In one word, this game is cute!

Bubble Popper is a simple game that can be found in the addicting games website under the arcade section. It is a game all about bubbles as the name suggests.

By using the arrows to position your bubble shooter and the space bar to shoot, you have to try and pop other bubbles. But there is a trick, only bubbles of the same color are able to pop other bubbles. The shooter churns out bubbles of three different colors, yellow pink and blue. Small bubbles are not able to pop other bubbles but join other small ones to make larger bubbles. At the same time as you are trying to pop bubbles there is a rainbow that is slowly coming down on you. The aim of the game is to try and pop all the bubbles before the rainbow hits you.

It all sounds very easy but when you are limited according to the color of the bubbles that the machine churns out and of course the speed at which it churns them out which is slower than the moving bubbles, you have limits. Having said that it is a fun game, not too fast pace and one that you can definitely play as an interlude to heavier tasks. I have played it a number of times and I think I will play it some more. But I need to master my skills in order to get better points and of course proceed to higher levels. At the beginning of the game you can choose where on an island you want to play the game and this determines the scenery, giving an additional aspect to a game that otherwise would be too simple.

Helicopter Game is a total game of skill and coordination. The game can be found in the Addicting games website under the arcade section. On first looking at the game you may think that it is very simple and easy but when you start playing the reality will hit you.

Not only is Helicopter game difficult it is near impossible to go for more than a few hundred meters if that without crashing and dying. The controls are very simple and by clicking on the mouse and holding it down you go up, by releasing it you go down. This means that you need an enormous amount of hand eye coordination in order to manipulate the helicopter to get past all the blocks along the way.

I have played this game a number of times and I still can't get that far. It is fun and challenging despite it being a very simple game to play. Helicopter game is the sort of game that you can challenge your friends with and see how far they can get i.e. how many meters they can travel without crashing. You can also chart the scores yourself to see if you can better the previous one. But, I have to also admit that this game is rather addictive and sometimes it is difficult to tear yourself away from it when playing. It is a game I will play a number of times and keep coming back to but I have to limit myself or I will get carried away.
