Shift is another favourite game of mine, because it makes you think laterally. You start walking around in the white space on the top of the black space. If you press SHIFT, the screen is reversed and you start walking in the black space on top of the white space. Confusing? just a little...
The link for the first version is here and to the second, with more tricks, here.

I/O
I/O is a puzzle that contains no instructions. You have to use logic, and gussing, to solve it. I had to burn a few neurons to solve it in 10 minutes. The first few minutes were agonizing until I figured out what was going on.

This a very difficult but addictive puzzle. Your aim is to trap the cat. It will not walk into dark circle. Every turn you darken a circle but the cat will walk into another one. You will have to start predicting the movements of the cat in order to get him. Each play is very fast but you won´t stop until you win the game.

Heroes: The Game - Mohinder's Office
UPDATE: I was informed that BBC will only allow people accessing their website from the UK can play the game. Has anyone any hints on how to play it anywhere else?
The BBC website has put a free online game based on Heroes. You start in Mohinder's office where you can find many things to read and explore. There are also games based on Isaac, Peter and Clare. There is also a history going on on the emails. Very Cool!

The age project
The age project is not exactly a game. The webpage shows you a picture of a person and you have to guess how old the person is. It is interesting to compare your guess with the actual person's age and the average guess. You can also upload your own picture.

Levers
Levers is an ingenious online game that is also very well-done. Your aim is simple: just balance the objects that are thrown to you. The physics engine is really impressive and the game gets really challenging in the end.
You can drop things back into the water as well as to interact with them.
