And nine more brilliant free to play browser games to waste your time with

The one where they're coming out of the goddamn walls, man

This amazing browser gameports the obscure Aliens boardgame tie-in to your PC, complete with the film's rousing score, all the weapon sound effects and Vazquez bellowing "Let's ROCK!". It's awesome. And, also, awesomely hard.

The one where leaving the house is an achievement

TheHitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy gameis probably the most ridiculous, confusing, complex and brilliant game you'll ever play. You begin as Arthur Dent, waking in his bedroom with an apocalyptic hangover. Which happens to be fitting, since today is the end of the world.

It's a devious but intelligently made text adventure, and excruciatingly difficult. It's likely that most people won't even manage to leave Arthur's bedroom (before it's bulldozed into ruins) let alone the house. We once managed to re-enact Arthur's classic moment lying in front of the bulldozer. But we can't remember how. Good luck!
