Minesweeper

The minesweeper game that is usually a default game on most computers is hard and most people don't know how to play. The point of the game is to click on all of the squares without clicking on a mine. If you do click on a mine, then you lose. The way that you can tell where mines are is from the number on the square that you click on. the number tells you how many mines are touching that square. Mines can be touching the square up, down, left, right, and diagonal in all directions. So, if a square that you click on, that doesn't have a mine, says 1, then there is only one mine touching that square, you just have to figure out which one it is. If you get stuck, look at the numbers on other squares to see how many mines are touching those squares. Or, if you feel like pushing your luck, just click randomly on squares and let's hope you don't click on a mine. My record on Easy/Beginner is 13 seconds. Beat that!

Risk: Global Domination

I don't know if you have played the board game risk, but either way, it's awesome. I found it online http://www.shockwave.com/gamelanding/risk.jsp . Try playing it. It's only a demo so you don't get to chose your territories, which makes it even harder because your troops are scattered all over the world. You can download the full version of it which allows you to choose your own territories and you can play against other people online, not the computer. I still think that the board game is better, but this way you don't have to have people over to play it. Also, at the same website, you can download three different versions of monopoly. They are free downloads.
