Play With Spider gives you shivers - Time Waster
by Christina Clark Sep 10th 2008
Play With spider from One Motion kind of gave me the creeps. But then, I don't really care for spiders too much.
Basically, it's a flash game (although there is no winning or losing) where you lay out bugs for a spider to eat. The spider is very realistic. In fact I said "eeew!" many times while playing.
It was fun to lay out the bugs in patterns to make the spider follow them - like DLS (for Download Squad). As a time waster, I didn't spend all that much time, maybe 10 minutes, on this. But, I can see it having other uses.
Have an annoying coworker that tries to use your computer? Leave Play With Spider up on the screen and as soon as they sit down and the spider starts to walk around, most people would be a bit grossed out. Or at least they will say something loud enough for you to hear them and catch them in the act.
It's apparently a good cat toy as well.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
