Featured Daily Games
Ever since the first time I saw Robotech, I fell in love with the idea of becoming a pilot and saving the world from aliens or something like that (I guess we all did). So when I saw Aces High F-15 Strike, it reminded me of a Veritech so much that I just couldn’t resist [...]
Difficult Shot
Most games have different difficulty levels; three of them, in most cases: easy, normal and hard. Some others are even more basic: just normal and hard, or easy and normal, or even easy and hard. However, sometimes a game gets so crazy, and a level gets so difficult, that we are in need of something [...]
Boards!
Board games and puzzles are, more often than not, the same kind of game, from a different viewpoint. Truth be told, these categories are far more comprehensive than they seem, and they surely go beyond each other, but the strong relation between them is undeniable. Today’s featured games come as examples of the whole spectrum, [...]
Puzzled
The good thing about puzzle flash games is that sometimes they surprise you by being a huge puzzle in themselves. Basically, that is exactly what happens with Little Wheel: the game itself is one gigantic puzzle in which you have to figure out what to do next in order to complete your mission and achieve [...]
Classic Meddley
Today’s Classic games are an awesome mix that could be better defined as National Geographic meets the Sci-Fi channel plus a twist of morbid humor. Our first featured game is called Go to Hell! Now, I thought that, according to those who believe in Heaven and Hell and other similar concepts, in order to actually [...]
Familiar Games
Sometimes, when taking a look at games, we find themes that transcend beyond categories. That should not surprise us, since, for example, while it is true that it may be easier to find a Mario game in the Classic Games section, it is also true that there is nothing that prevents developers from coming up [...]
Top Kids Games
Kids are difficult to keep entertained. That is the reason why most people hire babysitters, buy video games, or both. However, even then the attention span of most is so short that keeping them engaged is really hard. Thus, developing kids games is one of the most challenging jobs one can have. Taking advantage of a well known and loved character [...]
Action!
One of the meanings of the Word ‘action’ is “a military engagement”. It is no wonder then that a large number of Action games have to do with wars, battles and armies, directly or indirectly. Today’s games are a good example of that. Invasion From Hell: Oceania is an RPG game of sorts. You command [...]
Odd Sports
The games featured here today are what in other context might be called unlikely heroes. In this case, anything of this sort would rarely be called a sport; the magic of Flash Games, however, can make anything possible. As a first example, we have Goal In One. Now, the gear, the ball, it all may [...]
Shooting Stuff
Today’s review starts with a fun, relaxed Shooting game: Firework Battle. This one is a lot similar to games such as Presidential Street Fight and Conquer Antarctica; games in which the end has to do with hitting a given target from the other end of the screen (and sometimes a lot further away), and praying [...]
