Tech Buzz This is going to be the last Game Battle of 2011, friends. Let's take a moment to reflect on some of the good times we've had over the past year while we navigate these pigs to wherever the fuck it is that they're going.
Tech Buzz Here is a charming puzzle game with a very distinctive style to help you while away your afternoon. How far can you get? Post a screenshot in the comments. (via jayisgames.com)
Science Buzz This deceptively simple puzzle game will get its hooks in you. No, it's not a pizza game, despite how tasty pizza is.
Culture Buzz Here's a glorious Tower Defense game for a Thursday afternoon. Protect your roads from hordes of orcs with strategically placed towers. This is definitely what you want to be doing with the rest of your day.
Tech Buzz You know the drill here - play this game; don't play Tanner's asinine game. Unless you hate having an awesome time, in which case, reverse the process. Whatever gets you through the day. [Protip: Play on “Low Quality” if the game gets jumpy on you.]
Culture Buzz There is something deliciously satisfying about playing the villain. In this tower defense game, you are charged with keeping adventurers from making off with your ill-gotten gains.
Tech Buzz Mine for gems, metals, and minerals. Upgrade your miner. Don't overheat or run out of fuel. This is a perfectly appropriate way for you to kill the last couple of hours of your Friday at work - and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. (Note: This game is vastly better than Tanner's stupid game. Posting games like that is one of the reasons that we fired him in the first place.)
Tech Buzz A long-awaited sequel to the awesome Color infection puzzle games. All you have to do is turn the yellow balls brown. Easy, right?
Tech Buzz Control your little dude as he explores dangerous underground cavern! And use your wits (and bombs) to save the lost archaeologists. Go ahead and waste some time on this.
Culture Buzz Old-timey graphics and a great classical soundtrack keep this simple side-scroller from Clockwork Monster enjoyable. Use your mouse to control an airplane, collecting balloons and avoiding crows. Damn birds, you're killing me. Literally.
Tech Buzz ALWAYS I WANT TO BE WITH YOU AND MAKE BELIEVE WITH YOU AND LIVE IN HARMONY HARMONY OH LOVE. Play the large version here.
This game was created, drawn, and voiced by Cassie, who is obviously the most awesome 5-year old girl in the world. Click here to play. Lemons really are evil! (Via)
Tech Buzz The best kind of puzzle game: simple concept, incredibly challenging results. Good luck.
Tech Buzz Since we're all toast on Saturday, May 21, we might as well get some practice running for our lives. You're toast! Run from the monster! Jump for the ledge! Grab PB and J for power-ups and hit the toasters for a boost!
Tech Buzz The premise couldn't get any simpler: You're a giraffe in a Soviet military base getting shot sideways by rockets attached to your neck jumping from platform to platform at a high rate of speed grinding to earn more bonus jumps and timing leaps to earn bonus points! What could be simpler?

Check out Same Game Fighter. It is pretty difficult (I gave up after round 3). If you can figure out how to get past there let me know how you did it. It is kind of a puzzler/rpg combine, and I love the throw back graphics. (Via The Uniblog)
Culture Buzz Here's a fun stacking-based physics game featuring a (presumably) lovable alien. Save him by getting him to the star! (The story doesn't really make a ton of sense.)
Tech Buzz This is the story about I and T. Once upon a time there was an I and T. 'Bah.' said the T and left. “Where is T?” I was wondering and started the quest. Then…
Culture Buzz He-ey! This flash game just taught me something. Sneaky bastards. Medieval and Renaissance England were home to many royal animals from far off lands. In seven mini-games, control a polar bear, a lion, a baboon and more to score points.
Tech Buzz If not with bride or groom then you go boom! Prince Philip is armed with a cannon at the gates to Westminster Abbey and he isn't afraid to use it! (Bonus points for stopping celebrity crashers with lethal force.)
