Addicting Games has just published The Stupid Test 5. The Flytrap team aren't stupid, which is why we avoided all contact with or mention of the other four Stupid Tests. So why play and blog this one? Well, there are two reasons:

(1) Five is a lucky number, which it isn't really.
(2) We had a dream in which Gerard Butler's sixpack told us to.

If the above makes some kind of sense, you definitely need to take the test. Alternatively, beat MENSA at their own game.

Fancy helping a talented but cash-strapped youngster through university? Well, there's the hard way and the easy way. Seeing as you're here, surfing for free games, we assume you don't want to hear about the hard way. So go play Word Whiz instead.

For every 100 clicks you give this straightforward Facebook word quiz, another 10 cents will disappear into the pockets of the great minds of tomorrow.

Get addicted, and you could generate hundreds of dollars in donations. Which they'll immediately blow on rum and cokes. Or flash acoustic guitars they'll never bother to play. Or an Xbox 360.

Fun game, though, isn't it?

I would have paid several cold, hard British pounds to be in the room when Glen Forrester and Arthur Lee demoed Gnilley to an unsuspecting public at Game Jam Sydney. Watch the video above to learn why. Got a microphone? Download the prototype to get in on the action.

YAAAAAAAAAAARGH.

The best part of gaming isn't the bit when you actually sit down with a controller, bowl of golden syrup and bag of Pop Tarts to play the wretched thing. No, no. Much as the hottest sex is all about anticipation, so the hottest gaming thrills are, er, all about anticipation too.

And what better way to anticipate (in both senses) than via the joy of video? You've got all the good stuff from the final product - sliced, diced and Photoshopped to a crisp by marketing professionals - without having to whack a billion rat-goblins or gun down a trillion Nazis.

Indeed, why would you bother buying the final product at all? (A question they probably don't want you to ask.) Below are 11 of our ultra-favouritest game or hardware-related trailers and adverts. Pass the popcorn.

Tonypa's Taberinos is a textbook winner: simple hook, smooth implementation, tons of substance. Point and click to fire a ball around a rectangular arena, removing lines by touching them. You've only got a limited number of shots, so setting up chains of ricochets is desirable.

Later levels introduce nodes that only disappear once you've obliterated all the connecting lines. Some will spawn additional lines if you touch them, the cheeky devils.

If you like it colourful, give Flicking Crazy Golf a whirl. Cheers, Bart.

Free World Group's Brain Twister is like a less depressing version of Time Fcuk with the spin-the-levels mechanic from Turnz. Your job? To get a little pink man to the little white exit. You can run and jump, but athleticism alone won't save you.

No indeedy. You'll also need to warp between dimly-lit background and well-illuminated foreground via the space bar, not to mention spin the entire world on its axis with Z and X. Go have a fiddle.
