Free Fun Taxi Games Online


There are so many activities to do on the computer and on the internet, and in our days these 2 elements are practically indispensable in so many domains. First of all many people are using the computers for their jobs, this being the most important role of the computers.



But you can also use your computer and especially the internet to have a lot of fun and relax. You can choose to communicate with friends or to meet new people from any country of the world, or you can listen and download music, or movies, but you can also play a lot of fun and interesting games on the internet. These are the free online flash games, and you will find thousands of them on many sites. They have quite a simple graphic, some simple controls and they are easy to understand. But they are also really fun and addictive, so when you begin to play a game, you will want to play more and more. And even though some of the games end really soon (after 5 – 10 minutes), you will play another one and another, because there are so many of them.



Some of these games get their inspiration source out of the real life, featuring real activities such as cooking, dancing, playing all kinds of sports, driving, fighting, shooting and so on. But other games are fictional, and they involve all sort of crazy actions and funny looking creatures, monsters, humans, animals and so on.

There are many game categories; one of the most famous is the “racing and driving games” category. In this  category you can drive all sorts of vehicles, from auto-vehicles, to racing cars, motor bikes, ski jets, airplanes, karts and so on. But today we are going to talk about some games where you get the chance to drive a taxi.

So we’ll pick some free fun taxi online games, and discuss more about each one. One of them is called “Taxi Driving School”. In this game you are the character named Abu, which is an Indian man, and the last one from a family of famous taxi drivers. So he is carrying on the legacy of the family, and he is traveling to the taxi center of the world, which is New York. But the road to success is not so simple, and you will first have to pass a test of faith and perseverance. So to enter the world of taxi drivers you will first have to pass an exam.  To pass it you must complete all 14 maneuvers in the time limit, and of course stay on the specific path and don’t crash the taxi. Use the arrow keys to steer the car,to accelerate and reverse.



Also use the space bar for the hand brake. Your car will be the yellow one, and the others are red. So it won’t be just you on the road, there are other drivers too, that just want to get home safely without you to kill them. You will have to follow the guides that will show you how to make each maneuver. Before trying the real exam you can make some practice, and you will be able to practice any of the moves you like. Among them you will find the left and right turns, the U turn, the overtake, the 45 degree parking, the left turn with traffic lights, the parallel parking, the 90 degree parking, the three point turn and others. So if you are new to the game we suggest playing each of the instructions and complete each one. The taxi is quite difficult to control, and you will need some time until you are able to control it perfectly. Even if you are used to brake using the down arrow key like in most of the driving games, when pressing the down arrow key nothing will happen.

So you will have to use the space bar each time you want to slow down. If you accelerate too much, and don’t use the break, the taxi will begin to go really fast and it will be really difficult to handle. Just follow the green arrows on the road, and the red signs to complete each of the tasks. You will have to drive through the green arrows, and stop near the red signs on the road. After reaching each of the arrows or signs they will disappear. If an arrow is still on the road, it means that you didn’t pass close enough to it, so you will have to try again.

The sound from the game is quite annoying, so we suggest to turn it off. There will be a lot of car horns on the background, and the car will make a really annoying sound when hitting the break, so this will not allow you to concentrate enough. After you are ready with the practice you can start the real exam. But it will be really difficult to complete it. Not only that the car is really annoying and difficult to control, but the time allotted for each mission is very short. So you will have to drive really fast, and also control the car perfectly to complete each mission. Even though the challenges are very realistic, the game is not so good after all. It is really difficult to play, and it will only annoy you, rather than make you have fun and relax.



There are probably many more other free and fun taxi games online, but today we are going to present just one more of them. And we’ll choose the game called “Hey Taxi”. This is not a driving school game, so you finally have the chance to be a taxi driver and to take people around town, from one place to another, and to make money out of this. It seems like the Indian people are really related to taxi driving, so this game also involves these type of people. In this game you will actually play in India, in the town of Bombay. As you might know already in India they are driving on the left side of the road, so it will be the same in this game.

It could be quite difficult for you at the beginning, if you were used to drive on the right side of the road. You will have to drive around with your yellow cab, and search for customers. When seeing a customer (a person standing on the side of the road, with a big “Taxi” sign next to them) just stop near him. He will automatically get in your taxi. Then just follow the blue arrow to take the customer to his destination. When reaching it, stop near the sign to allow to person to get off the car. After getting off, you will receive a reward in money. Then search for the next customer, to accomplish the goal for each level. Hurry up  because you have a time limit.



Also collect stars along the way, and smash the wooden boxes to get more points or to find health. There will be quite a lot of traffic in the city, so you must avoid hitting the other cars. If you do, for each accident you will lose health and destroy your taxi. The car in this game is also quite difficult to control, but anyway it’s much more easy than in the previous game. Remember that you can only carry on passenger at a time. So here were two of the taxi games that you can play for free on the internet. If you know some more others that worth playing, please tell us about them. Have a nice day!

Free Online Avatar Games


The topics of the free online flash games are very diversified. There is a game of this type with practically anything you can think of. You will find games inspired by almost all the sports, games inspired by day to day activities (cooking, cleaning, dressing up), games inspired by movies, by cartoons, by comic books, by music and so on. These games are made with the flash technology, meaning that usually they have a simple graphic, some simple controls, and they don’t last for so long.



Usually flash games take about 5-10 minutes to complete. But this is not a bad thing, because this way you won’t have time to get bored with that game, and you will be able to move on to another one. Don’t worry because you won’t run out of games, because there are already thousands of games on the internet, and there are many more others appearing each day. Today we are going to discuss about some free online Avatar games. But we won’t talk about the famous Avatar movie that has just been launched in the cinemas, because there aren’t any online games inspired by the movie yet. I am sure that there will be many games about this movie soon, and we’ll probably discuss about those in future articles. Today we are going to talk about Avatar: The last Airbender cartoon TV series, and some games inspired by them.



Avatar The Last Airbender (also known as Avatar: the legend of Aang is an American animated TV series for kids, that was first aired on Nickelodeon channel and Nicktoons Network. These cartoons are a mixture between the Japanese anime cartoons and the US domestic cartoons. They are made by American producers, but the action takes place and it is inspired by the Asian world. The series are following the adventures of the main character Aang and his friends, and they must save the world from the evil Fire Lord. The show was quite appreciated by the us kids, and is running from 2005 until today. It had millions of viewers among the 6-11 years old kids, and it also receives some awards. The first part of a trilogy movie called The Last Airblender is expected to be released in July 2010.

There are many merchandises inspired by the cartoon series, such as action figures, trading cards, stuffed animals, LEGO sets, books and also some video games. Today we are going to talk about some free online Avatar games, and we’ll begin with the one called “Avatar Arena”. Your objective in this game is to create your own character and challenge the world’s best benders and defeat them. You have to use the arrow keys and the space bar to control your player, and each of the nations will have different combinations of controls, and you will find all of them at the game instructions. After choosing your nation you will be able to make your custom player.

The nations don’t seem to have any names, but each one will have a different symbol. When creating your player you will be able to change his head aspect, his arms, his body, and his legs. Make the fighter as you like, and then move on. You can first to some training or start the tournament. In the tournament there will be 20 opponents to defeat. The graphic of the game looks quite nice, and the moves are cool too. We suggest to learn first all the moves for each nation (from the game instructions) because after that it will be much easier for you to defend your enemies. Good luck!



Now let’s choose another game inspired by the cartoon the series, which is “Avatar Fortress Fight”. In this one you have to destroy your opponents fortress in battle before the destroy your fortress. To control the game you will have to use only the mouse. First choose your projectile type and move the mouse to pick an angle. Then hold down the left mouse button to select the power, and release the mouse button to shoot. Each weapon (projectile) has its own damage and accuracy proprieties. Remember that you can’t use the same projectile two times in a row. Use the look feature to locate the power ups that are somewhere in the air, and fire through them to reduce the damage made to your fortress or to make even more damage to the fortress of your opponent. You can play this game both in 1 or 2 players.

So you can play it with a friend and see which one of you is the best. There are 3 types of fortresses to choose from : earth, water or fire. First click on the “look” button to approximate the distance and angle of the shoot, and only then begin the throwing process. In the lower part of the screen you will see the damage made to each fortress, and of course the one to receive full damage first will lose the game. So after all this game is really fun, especially when played in 2 players .



There is also a second version of this game, which is simply called” “Avatar Fortress 2”. The rules of the game are pretty much the same, only that the graphic and game play are improved. There are new weapons, new power ups and also the game play is better and easier. When throwing a projectile you will be able to see the whole image from further away, so there is no need for that “look” feature, and you will be able to hit the opponent much easier. So if you liked the first version of this game, you will definitely like the second one too. So here were the free online Avatar games that we found. If you know some more others, please tell us about them. Good luck at the games, and have a nice day!

There are so many sites that are offering some free online flash games, and each site has hundreds of games to play. And there are also new games appearing each day, so this means that you will always have something to play in case you get bored with a game or a site. There are so many game categories, and here are just some of them: racing games, shooting games, adventure games, role playing games (RPG), puzzle games, educational games, 3D games, sports games and so on.



A famous category are the puzzle games, and you can find this category on almost every site that is offering free online games. A puzzle game usually refers at a game that requires some intelligence and concentration. This kind of games usually require to use just the mouse, and to click on different places and items on the screen, to trigger all sorts of actions. And to do this, you will have to make some thoughts first, and to figure out where to click and what to do. The game will get more difficult as you advance and usually the puzzle games are really addictive. And probably that’s why they are also so famous. They can be played by kids, by adults in their free time or when taking a break from work, and even by old people who are looking for some fun and relaxation.



So today we are going to discuss about some mystery puzzle seek games for the PC. There are so many on the internet, so we’ll take some random ones and present them. A really fun game is called “X spot”. Your task is easy: just look on the screen and search for the image of an “X”. The game begins with a very simple level, where you have the X letter right in front of you. Just click on it to move to the next level. In the next level you will have in front of you the word “exit”. And of course there is the X in the word, so just click on it and move forward. In the next levels you won’t just have the X in front of you,  you will have to click on different items, to trigger actions, and only then you will find the X. One example is: first click on a man to make him get on a plane.

Then the plane will rise up in the sky, and you will have to click again to make the person jump out of the plane. Click on him again to make him open his parachute. And just now when he gets close to the ground you will see the landing spot marked by an X. In the next level you will also have to think a little before completing it. You will be asked some questions and you have to give the answer to each one. If you will give all the correct answers, all the questions will be marked with an OK sign, and then…they will start all over again. Actually what you have to do is give a wrong answer to the question, and then it will be marked with an X. So here is your X sign…just click on it and move forward. And the levels are getting more and more interesting, so after all this is a fun and addictive game. Good luck!



Now let’s move on to another fun puzzle game, for example Bloxorz. The aim of this game is to get the block to fall into the square hole at the end of each stage. There are 33 stages to complete. To move your block around the track simply use the arrow keys, and be careful to no fall of the edges, because you will restart that level again. In many levels you will find bridges and switches. To activate a switch you simply have to step with your block over it. You don’t need to remain on a switch with your block to keep the bridges closed, it is enough to press it once.

You will find 2 types of switches: the soft round ones and the heavy x shaped switches. The soft switches will be activated when any part of your block presses them. But the hard switches require a few more pressure, so your block must be standing on its end to activate it. But not all the switches behave the same way. Some of them will make the bridges to open, and when they are pressed again they will make them to close. But others will only make a bridge to open, and you won’t be able to close it after that.



The green or red colored squares will flash to let you know which bridges are being operated. The orange tiles are a little more fragile than the rest, and if your block will stand up vertically on an orange tile, the tile will give up and your block will fall down. The third and last type of switches are the ones with this shape: (). These will teleport your block from place to place, and split it into two smaller blocks. You will be able to control these blocks individually, and when you get them one next to the other they will join back in one piece again. The small blocks are able to operate the soft switches, but they are not heavy enough the activate the heavy ones.

Also the small blocks can not complete a level, and you will have to get your entire block together to complete a level. You will be given a passcode for each level, so try to write it somewhere, so when the game is over you can play directly from that stage, rather than starting the game all over again. Just go to “Load stage”, type the 6 digit level code and you will play from that level.



After all, this is a really fun game, that will keep you busy for hours, and that will stimulate your mind and also allow you to have some fun at the computer. Enjoy it! So here were two really fun puzzle games. But as we said earlier, there are so many more others. You will probably find thousands of puzzle games on the internet, that are just waiting for you to play them. So have fun, and if you find games that worth playing, please tell us all about them. Have a nice day!
