Cake Mania and Burger Island Free Online Games - Thumbs Up!

I remember the days when MSN Games was the MSN Gaming Zone complete with ZF messaging capability. Checkers and Backgammon rooms used to have little tables and chairs and if you clicked on a chair, a person icon came up claiming your spot in that game. Or how about the lovable MSN Ants game. Building fires, stealing food and all trying to eat the little cheerio looking candies for the extra easy 30 points.

MSN Games isn't so bad these days. There's a lot of cute games for children and adults. Many of them you can play on-line for free. Many of the free on-line games offer a deluxe version but often are only trial versions and you'll need to pay to continue playing. One alright game is called 'Burger Island'. You might have seen this game in other places besides MSN such as Yahoo and Games.com

When you first begin in this game, you are introduced to a French waiter who goes through the steps for beginners on how to play the game. In the first round the french fries are ready for you. All you need to do is make burgers with ketch up for the customers and make as many as possible before it's closing time. Make sure you pay attention to the little thermometers next to the customer's order. They represent how happy the customer is. If the thermometer gets too low, you'll end up losing that customer and their money. After you finish for first round, the game will re-load and start in about 15 seconds. In the next round you need to cook the fries and put pepper, salt and ketch up on them. In level three you go back to making burgers again.

To save yourself some time, you can try cooking more than one burger at a time and once both patties are finished around the same time, grab the ketch up and squirt both before getting a bun. In level 4 you have some buying options with your money. You can either buy a cheeseburger recipe and or jalapeno french fries. The only thing that may get on your nerves is the same music playing in the background. Perhaps it'd be better if they included a few songs to continue playing throughout the game. For now you can turn down the volume of the game under the options menu.
