Fun Computer Games

There are more video games available for the computer than every other gaming platform combined. This is due to the enormous amount of independent developers and garage programmers who toil away at doing what they love best: making fun games. Many computer games are free or remarkably inexpensive, meaning you can easily pick up a few fun titles to fill a coffee break or an entire weekend.

Wik and the Fable of Souls

• Type: Puzzle/Adventure || Price: Free demo, $19.95 || Website: wikgame.com

Wik and the Fable of Souls is a unique storybook-like game where you control a little creature trying to find his lost family.

Falling Sand Game

• Type: For fun || Price: Free || Website: Falling Sand

Some people love it. Some people don't get it. Either way, the Falling Sand Game is a great way to spend a coffee break. The idea is very simple: streams of sand, water, oil and other materials fall from the top of the screen. Use your mouse to interact with these gently falling streams and create interesting effects. For example, choose Fire and draw a line under the falling oil. Can you guess what happens? Add Water to Plant and see what grows. It's a fascinating game that will have you riveted to the screen.

The Falling Sand Game is free and plays right in your browser using Java.

Cave Story

• Type: Adventure/action || Price: Free || Website: Download - Cave Story Home

Created by one person who goes by the name "pixel", Cave Story (Doukutsu Monogotari) is a very deep game with a heart-tugging story steeped in a made-up mythos, gorgeous music, and very rewarding gameplay. You control a character suffering from amnesia who is trying to help rabbit-like creatures called Mimigas from a heinous plot. The cave you're in turns out to be a giant floating island with a story more twisted than the cave's passages themselves.

Cave Story is a free game that is suitable for almost all ages (there is a bit of cartoon violence, though nothing graphic). Download the no-install version for easy play!

Seiklus

• Type: Adventure/platform || Price: Free || Website: Download - Seiklus Home

Seiklus is a charmingly innocent, yet quirky platform/adventure/exploration game. Gameplay is very simple - your character has to explore an extensive world, collect objects and solve a number of puzzles. The concept of dying doesn't exist in the game - your character cannot die or be harmed - you play until you either solve the game or give up. In spite of its graphic and conceptual simplicity, Seiklus is an addictive, playable and very enjoyable game.
