Online games to pass the time. I'm looking for particular types of web-based games to pass the time. There's I spend a lot of time using a microscope which is attached to a Windows XP computer.

The official Good Gift Games Guide 2008 is available at The Morning News today. The games profiled are: Runners Up Usually, when I compile my annual Good Gift Games (G3s) Guide, I come up with seven or eight shoe-ins and then have to cast around for a few more to round out the list; this year my "just off the top of my head" list came out to 18 items, even before I started doing the research.
