I had some time at hand and decided to write a short article about great football goals and tricks that I found surfing youtube. Most football videos are from 2006 and feature stars such as Essien, Maxi Rodriguez, Xabi Alonso, Scholes and Thierry Henry. Please don’t be disappointed that your football team or player is not among the top ten, post a link to youtube in the comments to pay tribute to him.

Sudoku is a addictive puzzle game which became popular in Europe just a few years ago. The goal is to fill the nine 3×3 grids with the numbers of 1 to 9 each and exclusively for the whole row and column. The concept itself is pretty simple but there are various difficulty levels that make it quite a challenge.

If you ever wanted to paint again the way you did when you were in Kindergarten then Art Rage is the right program for you. The free version is limited but sufficient for everyone who just wants to play around. I think it would especially be a very nice application for kids because they surely will enjoy the ease of use and ways of painting that art rage offers to them.

It seems that everyday a new tower defense kind of game appears on the internet and gets linked pretty quickly. I found areference to the game Curator Defense in the donation coders blog and can absolutely recommend it. You have to download the 50+ megabytes freeware game but the download is well worth it. Pieces of art invade the museum and you have to stop them to prevent them from replacing the master pieces in your museum.

I know that this is the second online game of the weekend in a row but this is just to much fun, and that’s what games should be all about fun. iSketch is an online multiplayer game. One person sketches a word and the others have to guess what it is. The first one to guess right gets the most points and the others have 20 seconds to guess it as well before time runs up. If they guess it as well they are awarded lesser points than the first person.

Line Rider is not really a game but a piece of art. I wrote an article about it just a month ago ( linerider ) and would like to take the opportunity to write about the changes since then. Line Rider gives you some basic drawing tools and a unlimited workspace at hand. The first phase is the drawing phase. You draw lines on the screen, lines that are somehow connected. The second phase is the playback phase. A Linerider, better a guy on a slade, falls out of nothing from the sky at the exact position you drew the first line.

We all know and love those stickman animations that started to show up some years ago. There have been some incredibly works of art and I bet that many watchers thought that it would be really cool to play a stick man game instead of just watch the animation. Their prayers have been heard: This weeks game for the weekend is called Fight man and is a game like Double Dragon, only with stickman.

Sometimes it’s the small free games that are more fun to play than the large commercial games. Zombie City Tactics is such a game. It’s about 2 megabytes in size and beats many commercial games in the most important criteria of them all: gameplay. I’m not the only one who thinks that graphics are way overrated when judging games. Sure Gears of War is a nice game, but a really good one ? I don’t think so.

You are probably staring at the topic and wonder what Gftw means. I decided to create a new series of articles that appear every friday, the Game For The Weekend Series. I will write about a cool free game on every Friday because I think that is the best time to try something new. This week features the game Future Pinball which looks surprisingly good for a freeware game. The game can be run on every Windows system starting with Win98 and can only be downloaded using a torrent they offer on their website. Don’t worry, it is only about 15 megabytes.
