We’re all guilty of a little time-wasting on the computer when we should be working, or doing something more productive. I’m not a big gamer, preferring simple games such as Scrabble. So, if you want to enjoy little time-wasting yourself, here are my suggestions for quick (mostly) and easy games, all of which can be played by yourself, or against the computer.

Are you a Scrabble enthusiastic, but don’t have anyone to play a game with? Then register at isc.ro and find people all over the world to play against. Your rank changes according to the results of each game, and you can choose to play a fast or slow game.

Remember Othello? (the game, not the wife-murdering Shakespearean character). Also known as Reversi, go to arcadepod.com and play away. No tiresome flipping over of counters, as in the real game, and it keeps count for you.

Now, this is not the most tasteful game, admittedly, but the ‘Michael Jackson baby game’ is satirizing the infamous balcony scene. Catch the babies as Michael drops them, all to the tune of ‘Smooth Criminal’, but watch out for when he tries to trick you by dropping spiders …

Oops, looks like Santa’s been knocking back too much sherry … and as he gets more and more drunk, he wanders perilously close to the train tracks (no, I don’t know what Santa is doing near the train tracks, but never mind). Your task is to keep him safe, but the drunker he is, the harder he is to control. This game is for all year round, not just for Christmas. Hilarious sound effects too. andkon.com
