Today, the internet has become a part of our lives. It has expanded in so many areas and domains, so we can’t even imagine how our life would be today in 2010 without the existence of the computer and the internet. People are using it for all sort of activities, and beside working, buying or selling stuff and making business you can also have a lot of fun on the internet. For example you can download some music, or a movie, or communicate with your friends, or make new friends from any country of the world. But you can also play some free funny games online. This category of games had developed a lot, and today there are hundreds of sites with games like this, containing thousands of games. The great part about these games is that they are absolutely free, they are simple to play and to understand and they also don’t require any download or installation. You simply have to visit a site with free games, choose the one you want and it will load really fast, right into your internet browser. These games are not popular just among kids, and they are played by so many people, no matter their age. There are even some games that are specially made for adults.

There are so many types of games, with so many topics and fun activities and characters involved. Usually a site will have all the games sorted on categories, and here are some of the most popular game categories: sport games, racing games, puzzle games, shooting games, RPG (role playing games), dress up games, fighting games, card games and many more others. But not all the game are involving silly characters, or funny activities, others are more serious and they can be also educative. There are many educational games, some for bigger kids and others even for toddlers. Some games for kids have famous cartoon characters such as: Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny, Songoku, Mikey Mouse etc. while some of the games for adults have famous people such as politicians (George W. Bush, Barrack Obama), singers (Britney Spears, Madonna, Paris Hilton) or actors (Brad Pitt, Will Smith etc.). Some of the funny online games are inspired by holidays such as Christmas, Halloween, Thanks giving day and others. So in the Christmas games there will be characters like reindeers, elves, snow men, and of course Santa Claus, while in the Halloween games you will find more spooky characters such as: ghosts, skeletons, monsters, zombies and so on.

There are so many things to be said about the free online games, but enough with the talking, let’s present some games. Of course we’ll take some random ones, because there are so many of them that you don’t even know which one to choose.

Let’s take for example the game called “Mountain bike” found on the famous site miniclip.com. Here you will have to do all sort of crazy stunts with your mountain bike, while racing to the finish line. For each stunt that you make you will get some points, and you will find out your final score at the end of each level. Press the up arrow key to gain speed and the down arrow key to brake. There is no steering required in this game, so the left and right arrow keys are used for leaning forward or backward, and these controls will be useful when making tricks or to adjust the bike in the air, and to make it land safely. You can also do tricks by pressing the space bar, and then your bike will change direction. The goal of the game is not to get to the finish line as fast as possible, but to make more tricks and to gain more points. So even if you got to the finish line, you can simply press the space bar and turn around to make more stunts. But of course be careful to also get to the finish line before the time runs out, otherwise all the tricks were in vain. If you don’t land safely the bike will crash and split into many pieces. Before starting the real game, you can play the training mode. Here you will see all the tricks and learn them by watching demonstrative videos. You will first see the video, and they try the stunt yourself. Good luck!

Since we began with a bicycle game, let’s continue with one of the same type, and we’ll choose the one called “Alex Trax”. Here you will play as a child riding a bike, and you will have to make your way to the exit and complete each level. Of course you will have to do this without falling and breaking your neck. Sometimes you will have to collect a key to open the exit, so don’t forget to pick it up along the way. The bike is controlled with the arrow keys, and also with the shift key which is used to jump and also to perform stunts. When you want to change direction simply press the space bar. At the beginning there will be panels containing useful information, so stop by and read them. When you will be unlucky to fall from the bike, you will have to start the level all over again. Have fun!

Now let’s take another game, for example the “Warfare 1944”. This is a war game, and your mission here will be to recruit infantry units, send them to the battle and finally win the Second World War. A battle can be won either when you advance to the other end of the map, or when you destroy the enemy’s morale. The game is controlled by only using the mouse. Click on the menu to choose a squad type and then click on the battle field where you want to place them. While they are in the battle you can give each soldier different commands. To do this you can also use the number keys from your keyboard. If you never played the game before, you can first watch a tutorial video. You can play the game in any side you want. So you can pick between the US campaign or the German campaign. The game is quite complex and realistic, so the war fans will really love it. There will be blood flying around when a soldier gets shoot, making it even more realistic.

Let’s pick just one more game for today, and we’ll choose the one called “Obama Alien Defense”. As you already know Barrack Obama is the actual president of the United States, and also the first afro-american president in the history of USA. We told you that there are funny games inspired by real life, and this is one example of them. You will play with the president, and your goal will be to shoot and kill the aliens that are attacking the Earth. You will see Barrack Obama as you never seen him before: with muscles and a big gun in his hand. The controls are simple and you have to use the arrow keys to move the character and the Z key to shoot. The game is really nice, and you can have a lot of fun playing it, whether if you like Barrack Obama or not.

These were just a few games, but there are so many more free and funny online games. Actually there are thousands of them, and there are more new games appearing every day, so you will always have something to play. Good luck!
