Colorball2 is a tricky game.

You have to move your mouse around to collect the right color balls while avoiding a relentless attack of incorrecly colored balls.

But you can only mess up so many times before it’s game-over for you.

Krazykeys is a fairly simple game that tests your typing abilities. At the end, the game records how many seconds it took you to finish.

There are 5 different game modes to try: the alphabet, the alphabet in reverse,  and randomly generated letters. You can also practice the qwerty keyboard and spelliing disestablishmentarianism.

Krazykeys uses simple graphics to teach a valuable skill.

Brain Safari is like Brain Academy on the DS. It tests and improves your reasoning ability using cute mini-games.

Graphics are high-quality, as is the music. The game seems to be geared more towards younger players, but it is fun and educational for all ages.

I’ve collected 31 of my favorite scary, creepy and fun games for a month of Halloween goodness.  The games are divided into kid-friendly and mature, and they include zombies, vampires, ghosts, and creepy houses.

Most of them are hosted on my site, or they are free to play on other sites. A few are free to play for an hour, but then you have to buy to get to higher levels. There are also a couple of videos and some just plain weird games.

Enjoy!

Want to solve a puzzle without any clues? With this Crossword game, you’re given letters, and you have to add them to the crossword correctly so that all the words match up. Sounds easy, right? Well it is, in the beginner level. The game gives you lots of “starter” letters that help you solve the puzzles quickly.

However, if you go up to expert level, the number of starter levels decreases dramatically. It’s a fun puzzle that tests your word skill.

To play, click on the empty white square, then click on a letter to fill it. All the other squares with the same letter will automatically be filled. If you make a mistake, click on the box with the letter you want to remove, then click on the space bar image.

Chain Reaction is a fun word game that makes you think about how words fit together. The game is based on the Game Show Network’s TV show of the same name. The game board is 7 rows – the first and last rows are filled with a word. Your job is to make a “chain reaction” of words from the top to the bottom, using 2-word phrases. So, for example, if the first word is train, the second might be track. Then, using track as the starting point, the third word might be star.

The game gives you a letter clues, but you pay for them. The more clues you use, the less points you get. You can choose to go up the chain from the bottom or down the chain from the top.

There are 3 rounds, and a final round. Each round is 60 seconds, and each is worth more points. In the final round you have to make a 4-word match in 30 seconds.

It’s a free, exciting game that tests your ability with words, combinations, and thinking outside the box.

Do you like Tom Jones – a lot?  Do you have a great memory of cats you’ve seen? Then try this frustrating, addicting little game – What’s New Pussycat. At first you’re shown 3 pictures of 3 cats, one after the other, in quick succession. You then are shown 4 pictures, three of which you just saw, and have to guess which one you DIDN’T see. Doesn’t sound so hard, right?

 Well, first of all the cats whizz by really fast. And after a while, the cats start to look the same. And thirdly, the game keeps adding more and more cats to remember. I usually don’t get very far before Tom calls me out on my bad memory. But it’s fun to try to top my last score. And some of the pictures are funny/cute/weird enough to hold my attention.
