Save the world from an evil sorcerer? Check. Save your bubble-bound friends from being squished? Check. Stop the spread of the dreaded Gamer’s Flu? Uhh…check?
Doctors, gamers, and everyone in-between can now attempt to save the world from a series of pandemics in the new point-and-click Flash-based game The Great Flu, available for free on TheGreatFlu.com. Dutch researchers created the game in an attempt to give people a better idea of just what it is that groups like the World Health Organization do on a daily basis, trying to prevent the outbreak of scary viruses such as the H1N1 virus (better known as the “swine flu”).

Being the man of refined breeding and delicate nature that I am , I oft try my hand at playing a more gentile manner of game. One that engages the mind as well as the senses. Then, when that 15 minutes is over, I go play something fun. One such game is Gobtron. Or as I call it, Inner-Child Happy Fun Time.

Do you remember a time when all you needed from a game was a guy, some weapons, and distinct need to to kill everything that wasn’t you, in a world that scrolled in only one direction? Yes, it was fun, and the last time you felt such escapist fun was probably years ago. I felt it 5 minutes ago.

Some say entirely story-driven web games are a myth, like Unicorns or Andy Dick, but they’re wrong. I’ve seen one with my own eyes. Neverending Light is one such game. It has no skill-based gameplay, strategy or puzzles, and as far as I can tell, you can’t even die. What it does have is a pretty cool plot, honest-to-goodness voice acting, and some spiffy lighting effects. For some reason, it reminded me of that old LucasArts classic, The Dig.

Are you ready for “the most epic boss fight in the history of Flash gaming?”
No, of course you’re not. You can’t handle all this epic.
