Play 3D Flash-based Tetris online - Time Waster

Multi-player Tetris not your cup of tea? How about a shot of espresso then? Tetrical is an online Tetris-style game that adds a whole new dimension of complexity. Literally.

Tetrical is a browser based game that's basically a 3D version of Tetris. If you're pretty good at Tetris there is no guarantee you will be good at Tetrical, as it takes a while to get used to the 3D environment, And to make matters worse, some of your blocks have weird 3D shapes.

Of course, Tetrical is hardly the first 3D version of Tetris around. We remember playing Blockout back in the 80s. Fortunately, no classic game ever seems to go uncloned. If you're looking for a Blockout-style game to play in your web browser while your boss's back is turned, you might want to try 3DTRIS. The controls feel a bit more intuitive to us than Tetrical's, but that might be years of muscle memory kicking in.

Aren't all of these basically ports of Welltris, the original 3D Tetris (made by Alexey Pajitnov!)?

I remember loving the hell out of that game, but I hadn't seen anybody else bother with it in a while, until this game started getting more popular...

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I 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.
