Boredom-breaking (good) Online games

[Starbreaker]

There used to be a thread on old GR a while ago about online games to have a bash at to waste time at work and stuff. Alas, it was lost in the mists of time and we all had to return to doing actual work/making pointless remarks in TCRT. How about we get it going again? I don't mind sticking links in the first post so we can get a nice little collection going. Any contributions welcome!

For my contribution, try N. Nice little action-jumpy thing with zillions of levels (plus loads more on the downloadable version) that's kept me amused for many hours.
