Review Free Online Game Splatman

Tired of the old Pacman? Try the new and improved Splatman. Splatman, created by X-Pressive, takes the concept of Pacman to a new level. Splatman has smaller levels, better graphics, and some really great features.

Perhaps Splatman's best feature is their level editor. You may edit any level in the game. You may move around the starting point of the Splatman. You may also change all the walls and the graphics of the entire level. Having so much control over the game is unlike many flash games which brings a fresh touch to this game.

You win by eating all the dots in your way and clearing stage after stage. You have to watch out and avoid the evil ghosts. The coffee cup will give you "coffee power" and a hammer which will increase your power and allow you to eat the ghosts. Collect fruits to earn extra points. You have 99 seconds to finish the level before time runs out.

X-Pressive did an amazing job with this game. This "fun" approach to Pacman beats out any other company's take on this game. In my opinion there are three things that make this game unique. One is the coffee theme to it. The second is the small and fun levels. Lastly is the level editor.

I would rate this game a 7/10. This game is a lot of fun and doesn't get boring. It doesn't take long to learn the game and get use to the play.

Free Online Games

Remember when there were no Free Online Games? You had to pay even for the most simplest of games. Now, flash and downloadable free online games are found everywhere. Free Online Game Finder has a collection of over 4,000 games including action, classic, adventure, shooting, puzzle and the list goes on.

So why are people making games if no one is paying for them anymore? There is a new medium for payment: advertisements. Perhaps tomorrow something else we usually pay for will be free. How about free gas if we watch infomercials while we fill up? It may sound crazy now but hey, you paid for Pong a little over 10 years ago. Technorati Profile

Play Tanks Game

Tanks, created by 2D Play, is a game which combines physics and combat. You are a small tank on a 2D battlefield. You are against other tanks which can either be another players or CPU. Up to 5 players may play this game but it works best with 2 players. This is a turn based game. You may choose mountain, forest, or desert terrain type. When it is your turn to shoot, you pick the velocity and the angle in which you want to fire. Your goal is to hit the other tank. Another factor you consider is the wind which goes either left or right and is between 0 and 100 units.

When you are hit, your hit points go down. You start with 100 hit points and die when you hit 0. You may also use repair kits that you may buy that repairs your tank once it is damaged. There are also shields that a player must bypass before the tank is actually damaged. The amount of hit points you have also corresponds with the maximum velocity you may shoot. If your tank has 50 hit points, it can only shoot at a maximum velocity of 50.

When a tank explodes, the round is over. Each player received money and points from the round. With the money you received, you may buy new equipment for the tank. There are many bombs you may purchase including atom bombs, balls, hot showers, air strikes, and volcano bombs. You may also purchase upgrades for your tank. You may upgrade the shield, hill move, engine or energy. Other merchandise includes parachutes, repair kits, fuel and teleport kits.

There are a few glitches in the game which you should try to avoid. One has to do with buying armor. When you buy enough extra armor for your tank, it will almost never die. There is a problem with decimal points and rounding which leaves your tank invincible unless sunken. Another glitch is the amount of volcano bombs you get. You start with 10 volcano bombs and 100 small bombs. However, after the first round if over, both players get 100 volcano bombs. This glitch makes the small bombs useless and ruins some strategy a player might have in saving up money to get new weapons.

I would rate this game a 7/10. This game is a lot of fun and you have a blast upgrading your tank and playing each level. However, the glitches prevent you from the full gaming experience. In addition, as with every turn based game, the game is slow paced so it may get boring quickly.



As always, search "tanks" at Free Online Game Finder or click this link to Play Tanks.

Play Lust For Bust

Milwaukie Beer presents Lust For Bust. This not so clever attempt to advertise Milwuakie Beer through online flash game has gone a long way. There are three characters in the game: you, your buddy, and your buddy's hot sister. The goal of the game is to stare at the girl's chest long enough to get the ogle-meter filled up. This game is safe for work but you may want to make sure your girl friend doesn't catch you playing it!

When you stare too long, the girl notices and you are "Busted!" A giant can of Milquakie Beer falls on your head and you have to start the game all over. You have one minute to get the ogle-meter filled up before time runs out.

There are different levels of staring, approximately six. If you stare as close as possible, the meter gets filled the fastest but you will also get caught the fastest. The farthest away, doesn't fill the meter and does not get you caught. The remaining are between the two extremes.

Milwaukie Beer did a great job with this game and probably got more advertising out of it than it expected. Milwuakie also made other online game namely "Can You Crash It?" and "How's Your Poker Face?" but it has never been as successful. You can play these games and their website.

I would rate the game a 7/10. The game is very simple and addictive. It is just the right difficulty to not be impossible but make you want to keep playing until you beat it. There is no second level nor are there difficulties but with a game like this, you shouldn't expect it.

Play Online Game Apple Shooter

Apple Shooter, made by Wolf Games, takes the classic tale of a man shooting an apple from another man's head and makes it into a simple and fun flash game. You are the bowman and you choose the power and angle at which you would like to shoot the arrow. There is no penalty for missing except for an arrow stuck into the wall, reminding you of your miss.

A level is complete when you shoot the apple. If you hit the guy with the arrow, you lose the game and have to start back from level one. The game lets on the impression that there is an unlimited number of levels. However, level 16 is impossible to complete. Even if you put the angle as close to 45 as possible, which should give you the greatest distance, and put the power on maximum, the arrow will not make it far enough.

The game is both humorous and morbid in the death of the guy. When you shoot the guy with the arrow, there is a graphical display of the guy bleeding. There are over 4 different ways the guy can die, all depending on where the arrow was shot.

Another bug in the game is when you put the mouse behind the bowman. The trajectory will show the arrow going forward but when you let go you in fact see the arrow going in the opposite direction.

I would rate this game a 6/10. The game is addictive and you may just spend an hour shooting the actual guy. Passing the levels is fun and losing is upsetting as you have to start from the beginning. Out of frustration, you may just end up closing the game and opening it back up in a few hours to give it another go. Getting to level 16 takes about 5 minutes of perfect shooting. You get the biggest upset when you realize that level 16 is the last level and there is no real end.

Cubefield: About and Glitch

Cubefield, created by YoGames, is a game in which you navigate an arrow through cubes. The game has multiple levels and speeds and gets harder the longer you play. The point of the game is simple, last as long you can. The only keys you can use in this game are the left and right arrow keys.

There are many similar games to this one as the concept is fairly popular. A similar game which I would recommend is Seconds Of Madness.

The graphics in this game are poor and the programming isn't so great either. There are many glitches in this game. For example, as soon as you have a large opening, hit the right arrow key. You will never hit anything like this so you may continue holding it as long as you'd like and watch your score sky rocket.

Unblock Myspace

Myspace is blocked at my school. All flash arcade websites are also blocked. What's the solution? You must use a proxy to bypass security. Proxies however get blocked just as fast as the sites you need to get to. The solution is finding new proxies every time one is blocked. Go to Unblock Myspace and enter your email to receive new proxies every day. If proxies aren't blocked at your computer, you can simply to go Myspace Proxy and get to the website from there. Proxies are also good for hiding your IP.

Bubble Shooter and other Bubble Games!

Bubble Shooter, made by Absolutist.Com, is the most popular flash game of its kind. Bubble Shooter is based on the game Bubbles. Atari introduced Bubbles in the early 90's and it quickly spread through standalone arcade systems worldwide.
The concept of Bubble Shooter is simple. There are sets of different colored balls all lined up, approximately 17 balls per row. There are usually 5-6 colors and the game starts with 19 rows of balls, randomly colored. The player has control of the shooter which is a device that shoots a ball. The player may use the wall to deflect the ball to its proper location. The ball must meet with other balls of the same color. 3 balls of the same color causes the balls to disappear. Randomly throughout the game, a new row of balls is added to the top and some are shifted. The point of the game is to get all the balls to disappear.
The game is set on novice. To unlock the other game difficulties, you must purchase the game on Absolutist.Com.

I would give this game a rating of 9/10. This game is simple yet very addictive. The game has no time limit. It is possible to play the game for hours. The game however is beatable as once you extinguish a certain color, the balls with that color will stop coming. The game has a scoring system. Every time you get a set of balls to disappear or you just shoot a single ball, you are awarded points.

Other bubble games include Aqua Bubble, Bubble Elements, Puzzle Bobbe, Candy Shoot, Yeti Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubblez and Speedy Bubbles.

Review of Boxhead The Zombie Wars, The Rooms, and Play Rooms

Boxhead, AKA Boxheads, is actually a series of flash games. Starting with the original, Boxhead The Zombie Wars, this flash game quickly gained popularity and expanded with Boxhead The Rooms and Boxhead Play Rooms.

What is this game? It's a birds eye view of a dude with a gun. You control this guy and shoot the gun straight into zombies. The zombies later get harder and give you weapons that you can switch through. The game comes with many maps, and many more with Boxhead 2 Play Rooms.

You don't get as much mobility with the character as one might like. For example, you must position the actual character to shoot the zombie since you can only shoot the gun straight. You can however choose the enemies you will be fighting as well as the game speed in the configurations.

This game is fun and addictive. It's one of those... you don't really need to think games, just shoot the zombies. It takes 2 minutes to learn how to play but a few hours to "master." Just youtube "boxhead" and see how others have mastered this game.

To play, search "boxhead" or "boxhead play rooms" on Free Online Game Finder.

Review of Arcade Game: Grid 16

Why start with one arcade game, when we can review 16 at one time? Grid 16 is a great game for people who are sick of the simple pong-like arcade game. This game offers a different touch. You must play SIXTEEN games at one time. You are flip flopped between games every few seconds and you must be able to prepare yourself for the new game in milliseconds.

Some "mini games" this game features includes falldown, pong, and over a dozen other games which you have played but for the life of you, can't remember its name.

How much time will this waste? The game takes 2 minutes, 3 if you are really good. You get bored of it pretty quickly unless you are competitive with yourself and want to get some good stats. Yes, a complete diagram of the game including your skill level will be provided to you in the end.

Simply go to Free Online Games and search for "Grid 16" to play the game if you can't find the link we provide for you, or we forget to provide you for a link.
