Bravo to T-Enterprise for creating this viral game based on the Thierry Henry handball scandal even faster than by its usual topical standards.

To play Hand of Henry, simply use the up arrow on your keyboard to help Thierry knock the ball into the goal with his hand. Just don't touch it when the ref is looking!

The more goals you score, the more points you accumulate and the higher up the scoreboard you go!

Oxfam has come up with an innovative online game called The Climate Challenge to promote awareness of global warming.

It features a range of celebrities including David Tennant, Gael Garcia Bernal, Mackenzie Crook and Miranda Richardson appearing as contestants in a quiz about the future of our planet, for which you must decide the answers.

There are three rounds to choose from - Beer Cans & Laughing Gas; Trains, Planes & Bananas; and Pollution Solution - with a petition to sign at the end that urges world leaders to prevent catastrophic climate change.

You can embed the game on your blog or website, and share it on Facebook, while a mobile version is coming soon.

They appear to be everywhere at the moment so it makes sense that a game dedicated to the X Factor twins Jon and Edward has been created.

It's called Jedward X Factor Vote Grabber: Grimes Against Humanity and the aim of the game is to make the ubiquitous twins bounce on a see-saw collecting stars – or votes – that are suspended above them.

The more votes they collect, the further along in the competition they get.

There is the option, though, to impale them on spikes and make them fall off the see-saw instead. Once the game is over, a freaky-looking Simon Cowell appears to kick them off the show.

It's Friday the 13th and not long until Christmas so what better way to pass this superstitious day than a game that combines the two?

Friday the 24th features Jason Vorhees from the Friday the 13th slasher-movie series becoming rather irate with some merry elves, unwanted presents and a gun-toting Santa.

The game contains some bloody cartoon violence but perhaps that's the price you pay for starting the festive season too early!
