Even if you've never played a video game before, you'll have no trouble figuring out Bubble Town. Just hold down your mouse button, then "shoot" bubbles at other bubbles onscreen by releasing the button. The goal is to pop all the bubbles at the top of your screen before they reach the bottom. Unbelievably simple, yes, but totally addictive. Another good game to challenge friends with is Jetman (find it here on MySpace and here on Facebook). You guide an underwater diver through dangerous terrain using only the space bar on your keyboard. It's a lot trickier than it sounds.
