Oh what an old pastime for me. Often realizing that I either had no/shit games to play on a console or my PC, I would often retreat to the internet for some good old flash games. Though I never had the guts to stick it out for learning how to make something in Flash, I could always enjoy the fruits of someone else's labor.

Anyway, I've decided to compile a short list of some flash games that I've been into or are into at the moment. Here it goes.

1. The Last Stand


This game is really very good. What surprised me is that it was the first game from the creator. Basically, the Last Stand is a defense game. You and others are held up in a little fort, and zombies stream at you, and you are given the task of "Removing the Head, or destroying the Brain." Theres 20 levels, and about 16 weapons. Theres tons of different zombie looks.

2. Sinjid: Shadow of the Warrior


One of the first games I acutally got into, Sinjid is a bit of an action RPG where you play as a ninja/warrior man whose sole purpose in life is to...go through portals and kill shit? Yeah. In a nutshell. But, theres an impressive amount of customization, stat progression, and fun for a flash RPG. If you like this sequel (of no real relation to the first, so theres no need to worry about story), you can also check out the original (I think?) entitled Sinjid: Battle Arena.

3. Boxhead (More Rooms, The Rooms, etc.)


Words cannot describe how much I fell in love with this game...Basically, you play as this Boxhead guy, and then zombie boxheads almost endlessly flow into a "Room" while you kill them for points. Theres a decent amount of weapons and stuff to get, and its a real good timewaster in my opinion. Theres actually three or four versions out I believe, and if you're into two players on one keyboard, I think there is a co-op option in one.

So, if your computer and internet can actually handle decent sized flash games, then you should check these out. Sure, there are a ton more good and better games out there, but I just thought of a few you could get started on on some snowy day in the near future. :)
