Vector Park is some seriously weird shit.
There are three parts, an interactive journey sort of thing, some cute interactive animations, and a game called Levers.
I’m not really sure what it’s all about, but it is pretty rad looking, and Levers, is actually kinda tough, but very fun.
Check it out if you have a couple hours to kill!

The Last Stand is a totally addicting shooter game. Set in a bleak, 28 Days Later-esque setting, you must survive against hordes of zombies each night, craving to eat your brains! But you can search for other survivors and weapons to help you in your last ditch effort.
It’s a relatively simple idea, but the execution and art make this truly a fun game to play. There are wide variety of weapons to choose from, my favorite being the hunting rifle, and then the shotgun. The are also a ton of different types of zombies, like priests, cops, grandmas, brutish cheerleaders, army guys and even a clown. Sadly the game is quite short, but it is free, so hopefully they’ll make a sequel to it soon!

If you get addicted to silly, mindless games easily, don’t read any farther than this. Desktop Tower Defense is a simple strategy game. You place different towers onto a board, and try to stop the incoming hoard of tiny critters. It sounds simple enough, but there are a million different ways to play this game. And it’s more addicting than you can imagine.
I’ve been playing for a couple months now, and it’s still as fun as the first time I played.
As of lately, the creators have been doing some regular updating, making it more fun and keeping the game fresh.
So if you want have some time to kill, definitely check this game out.
