Comments(0)CNET’S 10 Greatest Free Online Flash Games
Comments(0)I like Line Rider and Helicopter. And I’ll have to check The Last Stand out.
Here are some good ones that didn’t make their list:
Tennis Game
Homerun Rally
Text Twist
Netblazer
Tetris
These games at Play.vg can be downloaded and played on your desktop. Just go to File > Save As > Web Page, Complete. Two files will be downloaded. The html file, and its folder. Open up the downloaded folder and move the flash file to your desktop (the flash file will have a .swf or .flv extension–it will be the biggest file in the folder). Delete the folder and html file. Double click the flash file. If you have a flash player installed on your system (most likely you do), you should be able to play offline.

Terrafugia Flying Car
Thought flying cars were reserved for cheesy science fiction novels? Not anymore.
Terrafugia is a private company based in Woburn, Massachusetts that is developing The Transition, a roadable aircraft that the company describes as a “Personal Air Vehicle”. The aircraft is designed to change configurations, enabling it to operate as a traditional road vehicle and as a general aviation airplane.
The roadable aircraft plans to incorporate new technology such as automated folding wings. The aero-auto hybrid will be designed to be capable of landing at an airport and then folding the wings in and becoming a roadable vehicle.
The Transition “Personal Air Vehicle” is expected to be released in late 2009 with an operational prototype expected in 2008. The estimated purchase price is $148,000. Owners will drive the car from their garage to an airport where they will then be able to fly within a range of 100 to 500 miles. It will carry two people plus luggage and will operate on a single tank of premium unleaded gas. Wikipedia
