Swords and Sandals 2 - Today's Time Waster

Swords and Sandals 2Battle your way to glory in Swords and Sandals 2! You are a gladiator in ancient Rome fighting your way through duels and tournaments. From each battle you gain experience as well as other possible upgrades, such as the ability to carry more arrows for your bow. As you gain more experience you are able to level up and assign skill points to your character traits. The higher some points are the better items you can get. Just hover over an item and the shop keeper will let you know what level your trait has to be in order for you to have that item/weapon/armor.

Swords and Sandals 2 is a great time waster. The first step before you go into battle is to name and create a custom character. And the best part is that the entire game is played with the mouse in the browser, which happens to be my preferred way of playing time wasters.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
