For that time in class: Our favorite internet games
I’m sure we all take school seriously, but there are some days when I don’t feel like doing work or I’m just too bored to pay attention. And on those days, I foray into the Internet in search of games to play to kill time between now and whenever my body shuts down.

Everything’s better with friends, and the zombie apocalypse is no exception. After the runaway hit that was last fall’s “Left 4 Dead,” a sequel was an obvious choice, even for developer Valve, a company known for spending years refining existing games rather than releasing slightly updated versions.
We’ve got the biggest ‘Ball’ of them all
Sometimes, I want to play a game that involves rolling around a giant metal ball in underground Aztec caverns. Luckily, Quetzalcoatl smiled upon me, and I found an excellent mod for “Unreal Tournament 3” called “The Ball,” created by indie developer Toltec Studio.
