Most of us are back to work, and no doubt many of us are looking for something to do instead of work. If you click through you’ll find our picks of five browser-based games that should run on most computers and make time go by just like that *snaps fingers*.

Soul Tax is a game about ghosts. And haunting people then killing them in various different ways. It’s a sharp little number, with some solid writing and a cool aesthetic.

Much like the iPhone game Collision Effect, Gap Monsters is a game that will make your brain ache. To begin with you can barely grasp what you’re doing – you just do it. Later, as your understanding grows, it becomes something altogether more fascinating and cerebral.

Droid Assault is fun because of attention to detail. It feels good to fire the weapons, it’s rewarding to watch the enemies explode. It’s just very polished shooter that I had a lot of fun playing.
