Tuper Tario Tros. Puts A Little Tetris In Your Mushroom Kingdom
A mash-up of Super Mario Bros. and Tetris should—or at least could—be the best video game of all time, given how strong each title is independently. But is that marriage of gameplay styles enjoyable in practice? More »Play Every Day The Same Dream, Feel Bad
Don't think of Every Day The Same Dream as much as a game (though it is), but as an interesting, potentially fascinating experience, not too dissimilar from other interactive experiences like Passage and Don't Look Back. But do play it. More »The Non-Adventure Adventure Game
Dutch game designer Kenney Vleugels realizes how prosaic life can be sometimes. Not that a flash game about watching a DVD turns that into an epic happening. But it is more interactive than reading someone tweet about it. More »The Advent Calendar of Indie Games
Little doors and fun-sized prizes aren't just for the kitchen wall. The Indie Games Advent Calendar reveals a new game each day counting down to Christmas. It's a neat way to see what's out there and support indie devs. More »Browser Pong More Fun That It Sounds
Seriously. Fire this up. It's a game of Pong, only, it uses browser windows. Clever, and surprisingly playable, all things considered. Just...when you boot it up, hit "S" right away. Like, right away. More »Create Your Own Tiny Dark Void Levels
Create, share, and play custom-made levels of a Dark Void-like flash game, with Capcom's Jetpack Attack. More »Danish Group Asks You To "Hit The Bitch"
Denmark's Children Exposed to Violence at Home is a group dedicated towards the prevention of domestic violence. It's a noble cause! Pity their latest "ad" - a flash game involving woman-slapping - lacks the same nobility. More »Weekend Timewaster: Elevator Fart, the Game
The great thing about working weekends is I can blast gas with impunity in the Kotaku Tower elevator, and then on Monday when the car smells like Donkey Kong's taint, Fahey gets blamed for it once Crecente comes in. More »PETA Releases New Super Chick Sisters
PETA returns to its Mario-parody Super Chick Sisters with the New Super Chick Sisters, switching gears from vilifying Kentucky Fried Chicken to vilifying McDonald's. More »Saturday Timewaster: Bloktonik
Tipster BulletProof found this Tetrisesque block puzzle with an entrancing soundtrack and passes it along. But more curiously, "Bloktonik" seems to be in development for WiiWare (and for mobile), with a release date TBA. More »Balloon Boy Game Announced for PC Worldwide
Yesterday we explored the crossover between balloons in the news and video games. Today, certifying the saga of Balloon Boy as a true news event, someone made a flash game out of it - a flash-based side-scroller anyone can enjoy. More »Weekend Timewaster: GrowBox
Been a while since we've done these. Here's GrowBox, courtesy of King.com. The object is to pick up all of the gold orbs, but consuming them makes your box grow, so the board must be navigated in a specific order. More »Spore Creature Creator Goes Flat
Have you ever wanted to smash your Spore creations flat? EA's newly-released Spore Creature Creator 2D saves you the trouble. More »Time Donkey Loves Tacos
Time Donkey launched today. It's from the guys behind Velociraptor Safari, Jetpack Brontosaurus and Minotaur China Shop. So, yes, you should know what you're getting yourself into. More »Canabalt: The Best One Button Game You'll Play Today
Flash platformer Canabalt may be simple in concept, but what it lacks in gameplay variety, it more than makes up for in being awesome. This "daring escape" platformer is simply beautiful and beautifully simple. More »Weekend Timewaster: Turn-Based Battle
This flash-game parody of JRPGs perfectly nails every device, trope, conceit and theme of the genre. Hang in there - even if the odds seem ridiculous, someone shows up to give you 200 gold to buy the JRPG sword. More »Swine Flu: The Video Game
While it might not actually be Swine Flu: The Video Game, a flash game created by Dutch researches aims to raise the awareness of similar outbreaks by having the player control the deadly Gamers Flu. More »Ubisoft Dev Signs Off With a Flash
William David, a former designer for Ubisoft, felt he should finally take the plunge and strike out on his own. This week he left Ubisoft and uploaded this flash game as part explanation, in part thanks to his friends and co-workers. More »Hot Flashes: This Is The Only Level
May want to get familiar with this level, because in This Is The Only Level this is the only level you'll ever play. But it's one of the best you'll play dozens of times. More »Play Street Fighter II CE In Your Web Browser
Celebrating the release of Street Fighter IV for the PC, Capcom and GameTap parent Metaboli have teamed up to deliver Street Fighter II Championship Edition to your browser window. More »England In The Middle Ages FIGHT!
Who likes history? We do! Channel 4 has followed up its own 1066 historical drama with a flash game — a flash game that has been occupying way too much of our time, we might add. More »
