Dumb: The Game is an extremely addictive puzzle game, with the added addictiveness of a "world rankings" scoreboard to prove to the world just how smart you are. If you get stuck, the forums contain a LOT of hints. [More inside]

Fun & Joy is a addictiing little mindless game. Don't let the fact that it was probably written for younger ones stop you from zoning out. See also. [note: flash]

I'm a damn sucker for flash games.

As addictive as heroin, but without the needle tracks. If you spent days on end playing tetris, don't even think about playing this game. It's too late for me, I'm already dead.
