Whenever I cover a time-waster, of course, I have to test it in order to see if it's any good. I wouldn't want to recommend any crappy or boring games, right? I'm always very professional about it, though. I approach it with the mindset that I'm here to test the game. I'm not here to have fun or waste time! This is strictly business, right? Usually, that approach works. However, every now and ...

Everybody loves a good Time Waster. Everybody loves ninjas. And everyone loves solving mathematical equations, right? Number Ninjas is all this goodness rolled up into one slick little Flash game! You play the number one, armed with a ninja's favorite projectiles: throwing stars. And by "stars" I mean +, -, /, and *. To complete a level, you've got to defeat enemy numerals using the correct ...

Ninja Roll 2 is a simple ball rolling game that has you drawing a line for your "ninja ball" to roll and bounce down. The goal of the game is to collect all of the stars on each level. The game has a very sparse look, and the physics of the ball remind me of the superballs that I played with as a kid. It's actually frustrating how bouncy this ball is. Sometimes it's hard to maintain momentum ...

Google wants to help you become a Gmail ninja, and has created a site called Gmail Tips for the purpose. What is a Gmail ninja?

Rather than just asking Gmail's team for a list of all of the features Gmail has, the Google Tips page is made up of tips ...

The game is incredibly simple; your ninja character really only has a few moves: jump, crouch, walk, and stab with your sword. But for all that, the game still manages to move quickly and is fun. Ninja Rampage plays sort of like a side-scroller, except that each ...

I like ninjas. That being said, I don't really associate ninjas with dictionaries. However, Ninjawords aims to change that. Or something. Ninjawords is a simple Ajax dictionary that aspires to be like a ninja: smart, accurate, and really fast. Type in your word, smack the enter key, and you definition pops up. That's it! Yes, a very simple tool, and a pretty obvious use of Ajax at that, but I ...

I've never made a very convincing pirate, even on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, but like you I can enjoy a hearty "yarr" now and again. What I enjoy even more, though, is Ninja Loves Pirate, a gorgeous side-scroller for Windows in which you play the dual roles of (wait for it) stealthy ninja Ichiro and dread pirate Blackbeard, who must battle their way through (wait for it) evil zombies ...
