     Topic: Need a new addiction     Posted: 05 July 2010 at 12:05am | 
 
 
  
   
   
   Can anyone recommend a free online game that's good and addictive    
I just feel like something else to occupy myself and please don't suggest Farmville ARGH
 And any computer games that I could buy from TM that you'd suggest that you've enjoyed?  I kind of wanted to buy something that DH and I could play together like an adventure game of some sort where you solve mysteries etc.
 We're not computer geeks but times have changed since DS came along!!!

   You have to match the colours and you can get big combos and you have to get rid of bombs and stuff, its fun!
 
 Bejeweled isnt actually a FB game as such, but you can play it on FB, or you can play it online.

   Frontierville, Bejewelled Blitz and Bingo - they're all FB games but they're fun. Or Tetris if you are after something old school. If I'm really desperate I play solitarie.

   Bejeweled Blitz is a  PopCap game too.  Lots of distraction on that site   
DH got me a Wii for my birthday this year and it's the best thing ever. Before our evenings used to consist of us on the net (or me watching TV, DH doesn't watch TV, too many ads) but now a couple of nights a week we spend playing Frisbee Golf or Basketball. 
 Pricey I guess but so much fun!

   Me and DP buy the mystery games for the comp from the warehouse and off trademe. My fave atm is mortimer beckett but we also play hidden expedition, ravenhearst, magic encyclopedia, etc.
 We started by downloading the one hour trials and had so much fun we started our own collection. There are some awesome and free find the number games on the net too.

   Bejewelled is awesome and if you don't want to play it on FB you can download it from PopCap or buy the PC version from the shop too.  DH and I are both pretty addicted the Bejewelled Blitz and are really competitve with each other about it

   Yeah I love Bejewelled too. I love it because you can play it when ever you want and if you don't need to play it every single day to stop your crops from dying.
 
I love Bejewelled on Facebook because I can compare scores with friends and try to beat them!
