OK, there's no multiplayer mode (which there used to be). OK, there's only one mode of play. OK, the interface is loud and lacks some subtlety. But its still the best online pool game out there. And probably the best game on Miniclip. 193 0 1 1 1 0 2010-03-10T08:31:55+00:00 13 1088 http://www.miniclip.com/games/quick-fire-pool/en/ Colin Northway 2008-12-19T14:21:02+00:00 I'm sure almost everyone has heard of Heath Robinson's amazing contraption illustrations (or Rube Goldberg if you are from the Other side of the pond) Well now you can build your own in this cool little flash game. Reminiscent of the the old Soda's Constructor toy from a couple of years ago: http://sodaplay.com/creators/soda/items/constructor this is a great way to while away a friday afternoon before xmas. <a href="http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&q=heath+robinson&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&resnum=4&ct=title">Heath Robinson</a> <a href="http://images.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&q=rube+goldberg&btnG=Search+Images">Rube Goldberg </a> Have fun! 192 0 Colin Northway, James Mark, Sarah Collins 1 1 0 0 2010-03-07T02:19:55+00:00 13 472 http://www.kongregate.com/games/ColinNorthway/fantastic-contraption 2D Boy 2008-05-14T20:11:11+00:00 Although it may be a game without an aim or real purpose, this is a fantastic exploration of the "hive mind" idea, with excellent visualisation of the information. As the creator explains: Human Brain Cloud - a massively multiplayer word association "game" or experiment ... or something. The idea is that given a word, a player types in the first thing that comes to mind and the results are combined into a giant network. Over time and with many players, I hope the cloud will gradually grow to represent words and phrases people tend to associate with other words and phrases, assuming it doesn't get inundated with spam. The cloud started with just one word, "volcano". All other words were submitted by visitors to this site. 160 0 Kyle Gabler 1 2 1 0 2010-03-10T07:41:36+00:00 132 734 http://humanbraincloud.com/view.php 2007-08-10T06:35:36+00:00 A really lovely website, fun to play with, looks really good and is nicely restrained. You learn about the product through little interactive games, that are actually quite good, most of them are twists on classics (like pong for example). A perfect example of a mini site which feels like its part of a bigger brand yet at the same time it has a personality and style of its own. 83 0 2 0 0 0 2010-03-06T03:15:25+00:00 13 881 http://www.c-class.co.uk/
