So was hitting up Popcap and Yahoo games again this weekend...Bad move, Lara, bad move. Homes to dozens of addicting little puzzle games, and the end of whatever productivity I hoped to have on the computer.
I'm not a gamer. I don't deal well with the multi-player RPG or video games. Something that has dozens of screen views all at once, well, I just can't track it all, and it ends up making my head hurt instead. Shows my age, maybe :) And we didn't grow up with a Nintendo set, so I don't handle complex button combinations. Do much better with simple driving games, or hack-and-slash set-ups. Ask me to walk around somewhere though, or handle a multi-button attack, and I'll end up in front of a wall unable to turn around.
But give me a simple little puzzle game, brightly colored patterns to clear or build or some such, and I'm there! The one that got me yesterday was Bricks Breaking on Yahoo Games. One of those simple little clear-the-blocks set ups that sounds really boring, but then you get to the end of the level, and you've only got 3 blocks left. So close! You can do better next time! And next time, you've only got 1 block left. So close! You can do better next time! And next time....
'Scuse me. The bricks are calling....
