Yokka Wars is a turn based strategy game. You start with a friend or two on an island that simply is not big enough for you and your enemies. So you grab neutral provinces and raise armies, plunder treasures, and engage in combat. The rules of the game are simple enough and you sure master them in a minute. Mastering the game, liberating all islands, and winning the Big Campaign will take a LOT longer.

The rich enemy homelands field huge armies and by force alone you will not win much. You have to outsmart the computer, avoid towers, isolate hostile forces, occupy provinces of strategic importance, and sacrifice lesser ones to preserve your troops for a final onslaught on the fortified capitals of your arch enemies.

Sometimes work can be a bit overwhelming and you just need to take a break. But in some offices you’re watched like a hawk and if your boss catches you doing something other than work, it could mean trouble.

Maybe that’s why the New Zealand Book Council developed the readatwork website. Designed to simulate a typical XP desktop, you won’t find flash games here. You will find short stories, poems, originals from New Zealand authors and some familiar classics.

What makes things interesting is the layout of the stories are entirely in the “Power Point ” style, complete with animations that’s sure not to arouse suspicion at work. That is, of course, if your position doesn’t require the use of Power Point.

We must admit that while the layout was fun, it did make it hard to read the stories easily, as you had to try to hunt for the next sentence.

If you’re looking to catch up on your reading at work, you might as well look like you’re reviewing last Monday’s sales presentation.

The Several Journeys of Reemus is a Flash game that is somewhat reminiscent of the 90’s Lucasarts games like Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, and Sam and Max. SJoR has a minimalist point-and-click interface that lacks the obvious verbs like “Use,” “Look,” and “Pick Up.”

The plot is centered around Reemus and his cute, yet melancholy purple-bear sidekick Liam. Reemus, an insect exterminator, is summoned by the local innkeeper to rid his establishment of ants before the prince and his bride-to-be arrive. The objective is to get Reemus and Liam out of each puzzle space, and that is accomplished by interacting with the environment to find a way out.

The game is a bit brief, but the puzzles are entertaining and rather trippy. There are two endings, and original music accompanies the game.

Tag clouds are a great way to visualize content. Sites like Flickr, del.icio.us as well as a little blog called Download Squad use clouds. The larger the word, the more popular it is compared to the rest.

Now what if you wanted a cloud of your very own? One way to go about this is to enlist the help of Wordle. Put in a bunch of words or enter your del.icio.us user name and based on the information you’ve provided Wordle will generate a cloud for you.

The clouds generated by Wordle are for display purposes only. You won’t be able to click on a word and have it go to a particular site. It’s just mainly for fun. And you got to admit, a bunch of words all mashed together looks rather interesting.

Kitten Cannon addresses one of mankind’s most primal urges; firing small fluffy animals out of a cannon.

The goal is simple really; shoot the kitten out of the cannon as far as possible. You can adjust the aim and velocity of the cannon, but the real distance is obtained when poor fluffy lands on a pile of explosives, or is trampolined into a balloon-bomb. Watch out for the Venus Cat-traps and death spikes that will stop fluffy DEAD in her tracks.

Some may think that there is a trivial amount of strategy involved in firing a Kitten from a cannon. Obviously they haven’t reached 2,164 ft!

Developed by Pet Tomato the object of the game is simple. Get your character from door to door. It’s just the way that he gets there is rather um… how should we put this… gas-tastic.

While you can certainly jump, in order to reach the heights required to get to each level you’ll have to expend you inner powers. Of course there is a limit to this and you can’t very well expect an infinite supply, so use it wisely. As you progress, the levels get harder and enemies try to block your way from reaching your goal.

We’ve haven’t been able to get very far in the game, so we’ll need to work on our fourth meal to increase our strength.
