Mass Attack - Today's Time Waster
by Romeo Wahed Jan 21st 2008
It's Time Wasters like these that make wasting time really worth it. Mass Attack has a simple concept: you are presented with a scale that has weights on one side. You then create up to three new weights that you can drop on either side, with the goal of getting both sides to balance.As you go up in difficulty level, the smaller the margin of error becomes. The real trick is eyeballing the approximate weight of the, um, weights. Since their "weight" is determined by volume, it's hard to make a weight twice as heavy since it is not going to look twice as big. But with a little bit of practice it gets easier - and nothing feels quite as good as getting perfect balance on the first try.
If this is the kind of game that tickles your fancy, consider yourself warned - it is quite addictive.
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 ...
