The 1-Upper: Four Second Frenzy

POSTED: Wednesday, March 12, 2008, 1:51 AM

This is your brain on Four Second Frenzy

To anyone familiar with the Nintendo WarioWare series, Four Second Frenzy will seem like a complete rip off. It is, but it's OK as this collection of 50 minigames was developed by a group of programmers and artists from across the globe. There are quite a bit of countries represented, each presenting its own four-second game for the ADD set.

The game is incredibly simple. You're presented with a series of very, very, very, short games (hence the title) that only require you to use the arrow keys and the spacebar. You'll be tasked with everything from parking a car, mowing a lawn, chainsawing a zombie in two, or snapping a photo of a UFO shooting across the sky. There's no real skill required, just fast-twitch muscles. It may take you a few tries to figure out exactly what to do in each game, so keep playing until your eyes bleed, which I think is a very real side effect of this.

Go play Four Second Frenzy here, and try not to think of the missing hyphen in the title.
