Play Games on the Internet

by JDDunn9

Everyone likes to take a break from work now and then, and thanks
to the internet, there are plenty of ways to spend our downtime. 
With a variety of webpages and a number of games designed to be
played over the internet, you can easily find a game you'll enjoy
and online friends to play it with.

The easiest way to play games online is to do a quick internet
search for game sites.  You'll find millions of hits right off,
so it might help if you know what kind of game you want: puzzle,
action, board game, etc.  You'll find a much more manageable list
once you narrow it down a bit.  Once you've done that, it
shouldn't take you very many links to find a game you love.

Another way of finding a great game to play online is to search
one of the major game sites.  Yahoo games and MSN games both have
a large number (I'd say around a hundred) games you can play in a
variety of categories.  What's nice about these sites is that
they have both single player games that you can enjoy alone or
multiplayer games that usually include a chat function.  Yahoo,
for example, has hearts, dominoes, and scrabble that you can play
against people around the world.

Once you find a game you like, some of the sites offer
downloadable versions that you can save on your computer to play
any time.  Some of these are free; some require a small fee to
purchase the game.  Often, the games that do require a fee
include more levels or extra features not available in the online
version.

Here are some of the most popular online games:

Slingo - Slingo has been around for quite some time.  This
interesting game is a combination of bingo and a slot machine. 
You have twenty rounds to fill in the entire board (a black out
card, as it's called in bingo).  Instead of someone drawing
numbers, though, you get five random numbers that appear as if
from a slot machine.  The game includes some bonuses like gold
coins (bonus points), jokers (wild cards), the devil (he takes
away half of your points), and the angel (she saves you from the
devil).

Text Twist (aka Word Whomp and several other names) ' This is a
great game for anyone who likes words.  You get six random letter
tiles and have a specific amount of time to make as many words
from them as you can.  In many versions, you have to make at
least one six-letter word to move on to the next level.

Bejeweled - This internet classic has you trying to match at
least three of the same type of jewel together to make them
disappear.  The game is so popular it has spawned a sequel and is
available for download from many different sites.

Diner Dash - Another incredibly popular game, Diner Dash puts
players in the role of a waitress who has to seat customers, get
their drinks, take their orders, deliver their meals, and then
bus the tables.  Of course, you have to do all of this while
making sure customers don't wait in line too long and impress the
food critics!

Poppit - The objective of Poppit is to pop as many rows of the
same-colored balloons as possible.  If you manage to pop them in
the right order, you'll be able to eliminate all of the balloons
and receive a massive bonus point.  If you don't and you end up
with more than five balloons left, it's game over!

These are just a few of the great internet games out there that
you can play.  All of them are pretty addicting and very fun,
too!  Just don't have too much fun - your boss might not want you
spending all day on a game site!
