A Murder of Scarecrows
The very talented artist, Vincent Marcone, designed the “Murder of Scarecrows” site many years ago but it still feels timeless.  This is one of my all time favorite Flash sites.  Excellent game play, amazing typography, creepy engaging sounds and endless enjoyment. His work can be very moody and creepy at times but that is what draws you in. See his other works here.

An online game…extension of the Got Milk campaign… that has got to be one of the best game experiences that I have seen in a very long time on the web. With hints of Myst-like qualities, Get the Glass is definitely worth a visit.
