More Christmas Games

Ho, ho, ho! Just one more day until Christmas eve, until Santa comes with presents! Uhuu...presents, that's music to my ears! :) And since we're all anxious about Santa's arrival, I was happy to find some new free online games with Santa on Bored.com. Now you'll have something to do in order to make the wait more pleasurable and fun. And you'll enjoy playing these games so much, you won't even notice when the presents are placed under your Christmas tree.

 
This goes along the lines of Wrapper Stacker, if you remember I mentioned it last week. The punch line is that the evil grinch has stolen Santa's sleigh and is now throwing all the presents out from the sky. So, in order not to disappoint the children that are waiting for him, Santa is going to try to catch all the presents that drop from the sky! Just be careful how you stack them!

 
In this game we have a psychedelic bad Santa who's out on a Christmas-launcher extravaganza! You'll have to collect bottles of booze and try to get past freaky bears. Master your jump to the as effective as possible with this game!



 
For this game I like Bored.com's punch line: Ho-Ho-Ho! It's Santa Kicking Time! Because it captures the whole essence of the game: you have to kick Santa and try to get him into a chimney. You can calibrate your shot in order to find the right angle and the right force for the kick. Personally, this is one of my favorite Christmas games. :)

This is along the lines of Super Santa Kicker, only you try to get presents in the chimneys of one ore several houses per level.  Now, it's so much easier for Santa to deliver his presents because he has a bazooka and that is what he uses to shoot his presents and get them in the chimney.You can also make him move around, but be careful no to make him go in the sharp ice, or he'll die!


Enjoy your games, my dears, and have a Merry, Merry Christmas!  :*

Silly Christmas Games You'll Love!

Since it's the season to be jolly, I thought it would be fun to continue with some silly games that have a Christmas theme. And I have made a selection of six games from the free online games websites: BubbleBox.com and Bored.com. I guarantee you'll find them very amusing :)! Enjoy!


Christmas Cannon Blast

It's a very fun game in which you need to help Santa Claus test his new and experimental Christmas Cannon. You will use some of Santa's elves in stead of cannonballs and try, as best as you an to hit the target you have in front of you.You'll have some obstacles to go through like fire hoops, fans or ice walls.



Infectonator! Xmas Edition

Since zombies have become so popular lately, why not have a Christmas game with them as well. So,  forget about the Grinch, because he won't be the one ruining Christmas this is. The Holiday Season will be spoiled by zombies this year, and you will have the task of bringing the apocalypse! Your main goals are to turn Santa into a zombie, infect people and ruin Christmas before it begins! Sounds like fun, right?! :))

 

Warbears - An A.R. X-Mas

In Warbears you have four special agents (Kla, Lucas, Ryoh and Steve) and you have to use their skills to solve puzzles and carry out the missions.
In this special Christmas edition you have to save one of the agents from the evil spirit of Christmas. He is locked away and kept hostage and you have to reach him before it's not too late. You will need to gather money and buy supplies from Bob's Shop.





If you remember and if you enjoy stacking/building games, then you will definitely enjoy this Christmas version! Who wouldn't enjoy it if it's all about stacking presents. The goal of the game is to drop the presents from the pipes you have above and then try to balance them in order to stack them as high as you can




I you know Bejeweled, then this game is like a walk in a park. More like a walk in a park in the winter...you get the idea! So what you have to do is just match 3 or more titles that look the same in order to remove them and get to the next level. 





If you have a bone to pick with Santa, then this is the game for you. It's really easy, you just have to throw snowballs him! The hard part is that you have to have a really good aim!

Sift-X-Mess Review

Since we're approaching the holiday season and it seems that everyone is getting into that nice, warm Christmas feeling, I thought I might review a fun winter game. The game is called Sift X-Mess and you can find it on Bored.com . Now, in the game you play the very sexy part, if I might say so myself of Vinnie’s Girlfriend. You're all dressed up in a hot Santa suit and you're task is to shoot hostile enemies, who are basically some stick figures with Santa hats. If you have ever played the original version of “Sift with Shorty”, you'll find that this one is a pretty similar game. The advantage of this game is that, if you're playing it for the first time, you can use the laser you have on you have a better aim at your adversaries. Once you get used to the game, I would definitely advice you to leave the laser aside and just focus on shooting those guys in the head, because it will be easier to do that without the laser.

It might sound like a pretty easy game, right? Just stand still and shoot some stick figures..But let me tell you right from the start that it's actually pretty hard because the enemies run towards you pretty fast and as the levels progress they also start shooting at you even faster.  The part that makes things even more difficult and hard to react is the fact that after every shot your aim goes higher. To counteract that downside, I would definitely recommend keeping the gun barrel at a 90 degree angle, or even lower than that. Since it's a game that needs some taking used to, watch out for how the enemies come at you and remember their positions. That will help you do better at the game and also help you progress.

I must also say that a pretty big down side of the game is the manual recharge of the gun. When it runs out of bullets you have to actually take the charger and place it in the gun with your mouse. And, unfortunately, you're enemies still come at you and shoot.

The good thing is that at the end of each level you get experience points to upgrade your ammo, health or the duration of your laser.  Since, as I mentioned above you might very well stop using the laser after you get adjusted to the game, I would recommend you upgrade your ammo and resistance.

All in all, it's a cute/fun game and just have fun with it!
