YOU DON’T KNOW JACK

As close as most of us will get to being on a TV quiz show

The online version of Jellyvision’s classic party game looks and plays

remarkably like the CD-ROM games of yore, complete with a snarky

host, wacky sound effects, fun animation, and—most importantly—

totally new, outrageously off-the-wall questions.

Here’s a sample: “According to Dante’s Inferno, which level of hell

will David Blaine end up in?” Those who didn’t skip their European lit

classes would

know that

magicians

were damned

to the eighth

circle of hell.

ALL HALLOW’S EVE

Stave off a ravenous horde of zombies

At fi rst, it’s you and your BB gun against a few com-

mon zombies. Then the zombies get stronger and

you buy better weapons and upgrade your home’s

defenses. Before you know it, you’re packing Uzis

and laying minefi elds and razor wire outside your

house! http://tinyurl.com/ynfxd4

FLASH FLASH

REVOLUTION

And the Lord said: Let there be

much button-mashing

Although it took us an hour to get the

feeling back in our right hand after

playing it, we heartily recommend

Flash Flash Revolution—and its

smorgasbord of music-driven refl ex

tests—as one of the best time-wast-

ers on the Internet. While it’s just not

the same as stomping on a dance

pad, it’s the closest you’re going to

get to the Dance Dance Revolution

experience at the workplace.

Start with the original Flash

Flash Revolution, and once you’ve

worked up a stinky fi nger sweat,

try graduating to the ever-so-fast

Flash Flash Revolution Resonance

version—the songs are better, but

nearly seizure inducing.

ZOMBIE

DE-ANIMATOR

We think of it as a real-world trainer for a

zombie attack

If you spend half your water-cooler time

planning what you would do in case of a

zombie attack, you should probably add a

little hands-on training to your regimen. De-

Animator is practically the IPSC of zombie

training, making you stand your ground with a

lowly six-shooter and granny’s shotgun. What

the game lacks in color graphics, it makes up

for in mood and atmosphere.
