If you haven't played the hell out of it already, GemCraft. Game is addictive as fuck. It's like a traditional tower defense game where you have increasingly large waves coming at you, of monsters with different attributes. You acquire mana by killing monsters, which allows you to place more towers, or buy gems. Towers don't do anything on their own, and you have to place a gem inside of them. Each gem has a different color and attribute. Green is poison, and does more damage, even when not firing, Orange is mana, and grants you a certain amount of mana depending on the grade level, red is splash damage, and so on. You can combine multiple gems, to make use of more attributes, but it reduces the damage a bit. And there's a couple other things to it.

There's two games out in the series, and both are thoroughly enjoyable.

With the first, you can add traps that slow the enemy down as they walk through it.

The major upgrade in the sequel is that the traps no longer do that, but you can put a gem in them, and they'll have a similar effect to their attribute.

You gain experience after every battle, which you can put into talents that make it easier. Nothing really unique, but things that will allow you to start with a higher mana pool, gain more mana per kill, increase your gem's damage, and so on.

I recommend it because while it isn't as graphically fleshed out as Plants vs Zombies, it's easily as addictive, and while not quite the same, the gameplay is pretty similar.

Go to MODDB and look for some free recommended mod. You can acctually find pretty amazing stuff that way. For example, if you own Portal, you can download Portal: Prelude. It's honestly just as good as the original for free. (Although a lot harder.)

i'd go with tetris or stepmania. once you get good enough at stepmania, nothing below ten will feel anything close to intense, but actually strangely relaxing. and tetris just because its still competitive, but you can play intense if you want.

Anything that hasn't already been spoilered.

Oh whoops.

But in all honesty, I really enjoy games such as stupid defend your castle games where you don't have to think as much. I find Addictinggames.com still pretty good for stupid, pointless games that kill some time.
