Reaction Effect High Score

First confession: I use StumbleUpon when I am bored. Yesterday I was stumbling and came across someone's blog with a StumbleUpon hack. After reading that I decided to browse the blog. One entry was about a game called "Reaction Effect." The post contained his high score, so of course I decided to see if could beat it. (See photos for results). I was able to beat it, but I ended up wasting about 1.5 doing so. That brings me to my Second confession: I play video games online. I don't play the cool games like World of War Craft. I play lame flash based puzzle games and the Internet Checkers game that comes with Windows. The photos below also link to the game, but out of guilt I must at least give you a practical link as an alternative to the pointlessness of this flash game.
Practical link: Arizona Remodeling.

Better Than Tetris

I know what you are thinking, what could be better than Tetris? Well, there are a couple things that could be better than Tetris. For starters, how about Free Tetris? That 's right, there is a website where you can play Tetris for free. It is called (get this) www.FreeTetris.org There are no ads, and the site is free to play. After you have played a bunch of times, there is a one-time request for your e-mail address. They promise not to spam you, and so far I believe it.

I also just found another game that is even better than Tetris, and better even than Free Tetris. The games is called Porolith, and it is like Tetris, except it is even better.

It is similar to Tetris in that you are trying to strategical stack up random block shapes in such a way as to make them disapper before you screen fills up. It does have a few differences. For one, you cannot rotate the blocks at all. You have to drop them as they appear. Also, instead of matching complete horizontal lines to make thos blocks disappear like in Tetris, Porolith has you match colors to make the blocks disappear. It is very basic to learn the function of the game, but it is very difficult to master this game.


Click to play Porolith This game is published by a Japanese website called http://www.gamedesign.jp/
