And as I – and gamers in my generation – get older, there just isn’t as much time during the day to devote to a huge scale gaming experience. I love Final Fantasy games, and I finally got my hands on the God of War sequel so I can see what happens next on that front, but I just don’t have the time to put into it like I used to. So it becomes ever more satisfying to find a great little game – more of a toy, really – on the web that I can pump a minute or three into when I’m able.

Off-Road Velociraptor Safari is a fantastic example of this, doubly so because not only is it short on time in a scope sense, but it even has a timer to enforce the whole get-back-to-work factor.

As a person who’s pretty fairly dedicated to gaming, I lament the lack of time I’m able to put into something I enjoy. I’m looking forward to Gears of War 2 next month, and Rock Band 2 when I’m able to pick it up. And even the longer Persona 4 in December is going to be an attractive proposition.Plus, as I get even older and start a family or something, time will become even more of a commodity.

But it’s nice to know that there’s still the 60-second game to scratch that itch as it crops up.
