Now You Can Play Threes Right In Your Browser
Threes is a really fun, addictive game, but it's only on iOS. Well, someone created a browser-based "demake" of Threes that you can play right in your browser.

Hey kids, remember that Transformers Universe MMO that was being made by the folks who gave you Runescape? Jagex is still hard at work on that browser-based beast, and they've got a new, not-entirely-CG trailer to prove it.

Yes, it's on the top of the App Store charts but Flappy Bird is hella annoying. The hit mobile game is hard, derivative and devoid of almost all charm. If you've played it, you've probably wished you could kill the titular character. A new browser game lets you do exactly that.

I never really understood complementary colors, which makes sense, because I did horribly on that section of Color. It's an incredibly simple game that will drive you mad trying to get a perfect score.

The People's Daily, the de facto mouthpiece of the Chinese communist party, has recently put a flash game on their site. This particular flash game, despite its cartoony nature, depicts a particularly sensitive subject matter in the People's Republic—fighting government corruption.

Pokémon is huge. The Chinese people love it, I love it. But with the console ban, China hasn't had any legally translated copies of Pokémon until recently, with the Chinese versions of X and Y. How has China lived without Pokémon? They created their own, in the shape of a free to play online browser game called Seer.

Look at all of those graphics. That's at least seven or eight graphics right there. After a day spent staring at a black screen, Jagex has finally tweaked Runescape 3 enough so that I can see those shiny new graphics. I completely forgot why I was in that cave.
