they make boredom and productivity a
thing of the past
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
time waster video games for this list
we’re looking at games that are designed
to be played either with no major and
goal in sight or to be played in short
bursts when you’ve got nothing else to
do though there are mini games like
Skyrim
or World of Warcraft that come with
dozens of hours of content the existence
of a distinct end point or at least
endgame content disqualifies them from
this list still games that can possibly
break down after extended periods are
still eligible here
number 10 flappy bird who would have
thought that such a simply made game
could become such a phenomenon the goal
here is to guide your bird through a
series of gaps between Mario style pipes
and build up a high score gaining a
whopping 1 point per pipe past but while
the game’s quality is questionable its
highly addictive nature certainly is not
in fact the game’s creator dong when
pulled it from distribution apparently
over the guilt he felt over the game’s
addictive nature whether or not this is
true or whether was due to the
questionable origin of a few of the
in-game assets remains unknown but an
endless barrage of knockoffs have
followed in its weight number 9 peggle
this pachinko inspired title comes from
pop cap makers of dozens of gleefully
addictive games so you know it’s
probably pretty good right there the
goal of this game is to launch balls
into a field of blocks and destroy
specific ones in a limited number of
shots fun gameplay aside Pagels true
charm comes from it’s beautiful art and
cartoony characters these characters or
peggle masters lend special abilities to
the player the special abilities and
limited shots give peggle a nice
strategic hook especially when ode to
joy’ starts playing in a burst of
colourful rainbows
number eight Animal Crossing new leaf
when the original Animal Crossing was
released in 2002 on the GameCube gamers
were swept up in their new small town
lives collecting furniture helping
neighbors and expanding their museum it
was undeniably fun but what makes new
leaf better than any other in the series
before it is that it makes you the mayor
of the town lending to a greater sense
of freedom town ordinances let you fit
the game to your daily schedule and
public work projects add some extra life
to your little hamlet but be warned once
you enter Animal Crossing you may never
leave one of our producers is over 500
hours deep number seven The Sims series
sure
SimCity might also be worthy of this
list but for that real digital crack you
have to get personal
create virtual people put them in a
house pre-made or of your own design and
then do what you want with them you can
help them achieve their dreams and
aspirations torture them play matchmaker
for them and see them get it on or just
let them act on their own if you’re
boring
you can even cultivate an entire
community of sims it’s all up to you oh
and there are expansions so bring money
number six
pac-man series one of the most
successful arcade games of all time you
guide the titular circle as he attempts
to sate his endless hunger for pellets
while dodging those pesky ghosts though
the maze is the same every time
escalating difficulty keeps the game
from getting stale there have been
multiple sequels and remakes of the game
notably mrs. pac-man and pac-man
Championship Edition but no matter the
coat of paint it’s always worth playing
until the game crashes because you’ve
gone too far
number 5 the jeweled series as the
original match 3 game bejeweled has
created a massive legacy of puzzle games
both in its own sequels and in similar
games like the infamous paywall
nightmare candy crush
a typical game of bejeweled lasts until
there are no moves to be made but
several new modes have been added to the
series as it’s gone on perhaps the most
popular is blitz a competitive 1 minute
long race to achieve the best possible
score number 4
farmville
there are two types of people those who
play farmville and those who get
Facebook requests to play farmville this
game took Facebook by storm upon its
release with millions of people managing
their little plots of land planting and
harvesting crops is incredibly simple
and there’s an option to fit anyone’s
schedule while it was panned by critics
there’s something undeniably satisfying
about the whole process just don’t be
that guy who constantly annoys your
friends by repeatedly sending requests
for livestock you know who you are
number three
minecraft whether it’s playing the
traditional survival mode or letting
your imagination take over in creative
mode the hours spent playing Minecraft
know no boundaries build a shack now
build a house now build a castle now
build an even bigger castle or better
yet just dig a giant hole for three
hours listening to the soothing sound of
the bricks popping minecraft is now one
of the most popular games in the world a
sandbox that’s only limited by the
players imagination just watch out for
those creepers number 2 solitaire
a huge enemy to office productivity for
decades this packet application for any
Windows operating system has been
relieving boredom for years it may just
be a simple recreation of the
traditional card game but that surely
doesn’t stop it from sucking you in by
its nature not all games are winnable so
finally attaining that elusive victory
is extremely satisfying dance you stupid
cards dad’s before we unveil our top
pick here are a few honorable mentions
number one Tetris sound familiar
combining the Greek word tetra meaning
for as all of the games blocks have four
pieces and tennis designer alexey
Patchen offs favorite sport and you get
tetris the classic puzzler that has been
capturing players for generations with
its seemingly endless list of ports and
variants
what makes Tetris so great is it simple
to pick up but difficult to master line
building gameplay there’s something
meditative and zen-like to the cascading
geometry making Tetris a strangely
satisfying experience it’s hard to think
of another game that requires you to
think while allowing you to shut your
mind off at the same time which is why
it’s a timeless classic and an easy pick
for number one do you agree with our

of hours into for no reason for more top
