Fly Guy

This guy to my left here, known as Fly Guy in the flash game of the same name, has given me hours of amusement in which i shall pass on to others in this post. In its essence, this is no more than a little flash game to fool around with, made only exceptional by the pure simplicity and whimsical gameplay that kept me coming back despite its lack of depth. The relative short length of gameplay an average person might get out of this never bothered me, as i took notice of the calm background music track, blended with unexpected surprises from the environment that never gets tiring at all. If you’re feeling down and low, then live your life as a dude who can fly; i know i did and the smiley are the proof of that

Warfare 1944

Strategy games are hard to come by, which makes it even harder to find a decent one amidst the flood of flash contributions among many eager flash developers. Perhaps then you’ve heard of Warfare 1944, a real-time strategy game made in flash that bears many resemblance to Company of Heroes or Dawn of War in terms of gameplay mechanics. The player are tasked with fielding WWII front line troops, which can be recruited by resource points that will slowly generate over the course of battle. The single-player campaign will have you playing as either an American or German commander, though the more fun part lies in the skirmish battles that you’ll be able to customize yourself.

The predecessor to this game, Warfare 1917, can be found here for those wishing to enjoy some WWI mayhem.

Combat Arms

Imported from Korea back in 2008, Combat Arms is one of those online FPS games where you can blast out your real-life opponents with a myriad of guns and accessories. And speaking of guns, there are no shortage of any if not an excess of them if i recall correctly. Players will be able to purchase various combat equipment that they can use for a certain amount of period in order to upgrade their characters in the said game. Unlike more tactical games such as America’s Army, you are encouraged to run around and die or frag freely knowing that it’ll all come down to pure wits and skill. If that sounds like you, then sign up for Combat Arms and be ready to enjoy the many game modes it offers, all of which will likely provide you some wicked fun in the process.

Glest

Sure there are plenty of free online games out there, but what are the chances of a RTS strategy title fitting the category? Glest, as it would seems, fills up that gap pretty nicely without being a drain in your wallet. Bearing acceptable 3D graphics, players can expect to find a wide range of units to play across the 2 default factions. And while it doesn’t stand up to the commercial titles in terms of its polish and content, the low download size and system requirements more than make up for it. As it is an open-sourced game, there are the obvious mods and custom maps for users to enjoy, further remedying the aforementioned flaws it may have.

Oiligarchy

In this brilliant attempt by a flash game studio to educate people on the global consequences our daily consumption, players will have the chance to see what it’s like to be a god in the oil industry. You can exercise control over which area of the world you want to explore and extract oil from and it’s all done through your fingertips. Utilizing various methods such as bribing politicans and offshore drilling, one can further extend his/her agenda as far as greed can go in this informative game. Whether it’s politically correct or not, oiligarchy is one of the few rare games that set out to discuss political and social implications rather than just plain flash entertainment. You are encouraged to find out more about it’s developer molleindustria and other politically-aware games that it has put out.
