Billy White writes the weekly Time Waster review for GiN. As you might expect, this makes him the embodiment of procrastination at GiN, which works out perfectly since his job is to find fun ways to waste time. Billy came up with the idea behind GiN's Weekly Time Waster when he realized that a lot of great but smaller games don't get the attention they deserve. It helps that he spends a lot of his free time spelunking the Internet for the best browser based games. When not "wasting time" Billy likes to delve into the world of RPG's, and it doesn't matter what type of RPG it is. From Elder Scrolls to Final Fantasy and all the way to tabletop RPG's, Billy loves them all. To go along with this, he loudly proclaims to anyone who will listen that Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross are the two best games to ever exist and hopes that one day his write-in campaign will convince Square Enix to revisit the series.

Indie Doesn’t Mean Easy!

And it flops in the worst possible way, by never even trying in the first place. Why anyone would waste their time with Fortix 2 is beyond our reviewer.

Blast From the Past!

Join some old friends as they come together to save Princess Toadstool from the evil tyrant Bowser!

Fun On The Farm

My Farm Life is a deceptively simple farming game that will addict you before you know you’ve been had. You could probably run a real farm with the hours you will happily put in here.

Mario’s Extra Features Makes Him A Star

The Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition is packed with many extras, like a soundtrack, ringtones for your phone and a fine collection of Mario games. Its just plain super.

Grind Away!

Castaway 2 tries to take on the RPG genre in a flash based game, and strangely enough it works out great! And this doesn’t have anything to do with Tom Hanks.

Blocky Addiction

Shooting Blocks has the makings of a great physics based casual game, but sadly one feature is holding it back.

Adventure, Through A Mirror, Darkly

Black Mirror II: Reigning Evil is a point and click adventure with creepy music, excellent sound, and a plot suitable for a Stephen King novel. Dim the lights and crank this one up.

Harmony Is Not Quite Bliss

Spring Up Harmony attempts to combine several types of gameplay into one exciting casual game. And although they hit the mark pretty well, it just doesn’t have the staying power of others in this field.
