Headspin Storybook is a beautiful, addictive click-n-find - Time Waster

While I'm not normally one who gets wrapped up in click-and-find Flash games, I couldn't stay away from HeadSpin Storybook. The artwork is fantastic, and I love the concept.
The game centers around a pop-up book. Your goal is to create a perfectly mirrored reflection of the objects on the left-hand page by clicking items on the right. You'll have 30 seconds to complete each level.
It sounds simple enough, but as the number of objects increases and their details become more subtle the game turns into a real workout for the eyes and mind. Since it's like a pop-up book, you'll also have to do a bit of guessing from time to time since some objects will be hidden behind others.
At 6:30 in the morning, Storybook gave me intense cravings for sharper eyesight and a much larger display than my 12" notebook screen to play on. The short time requirement and break between levels makes this a Time Waster you can come back to all day long.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
