I don’t quite understand what is the point of Farmarama/Farmville type games. I want to play something that I can win. I feel like I have a barn full of dead chickens and nothing to show for it and there is no end! The same thing with the Sims. I’ve heard so many people extol the virtues of this game and I don’t enjoy it at all. You never seem to reach a goal…and my people’s houses keep burning down and killing them.
I like games where you can win. Games that make you try and reach a goal. Games where there is a clear ending point. I like to play for a reason, to socialize or learn or be challenged or beat the pants off of someone.
Here are a few of my (online) favorites:
http://colour.connect.fizzlebot.com/ – fun color puzzle game
http://music.catch.fizzlebot.com/ – this is just relaxing, catch the colors with your mouse as music plays
http://www.rocketsnail.com/mancala/game.htm – Mancala! With snails!
http://www.nickelarcade.com/SuperWordPlay.html – A simple version of ‘how many words can you make from these letters’.
http://www.crazymonkeygames.com/Pandemic-2.html – Guilty pleasure…strategy game where you try and infect the entire world with a virus.
