Online Games - February 2009

Clone Wars

February 27th 2009 08:46

Elite Forces: The Clone Wars is a fantastic free online RTS game.

The objective is to capture your opponent’s barracks. You are the blue team while your enemy is red. Send units to the red barracks to attack. To attack another building, click on your barracks and then click the enemy barracks you wish to attack. You will send 1/2 the number of units you have in your barracks.

You have to capture the opponent’s barracks to produce your units. The grey barracks are neutral and will not attack, take them over to maximise unit output. The number of units in a single barracks is limited. Press the space bar to de-select your barracks and again to select all barracks. Capture the larger barracks to produce troops faster, to select multiple barracks, drag and drop. You can add to the selection by holding 'ctrl'. Capture all barracks and you win!

If units meet half way they will battle where they are. Battles are always fought instantly and are one for one, the number of troops in a barracks is written on the top, the same is for troops on the move. The fewer troops in a group the faster they'll move.
Sometimes you will have more than one enemy to deal with so think quick!

Genre: RTS
Time to Play: 30 minutes
Difficulty: Hard

Blues Biker

February 25th 2009 08:28

Blues Biker is a quick and easy motor bike racing game, however don't expect to be winning races right from the very beginning.

The controls are nice and simple. Use the arrow keys to drive. 'A' will change you up a gear and 'Z' back down. The bottom right corner tells you the current gear as well as speedo and tacho so you can time the gear changes well.
Also look out for money and speed bonuses along the track.

There are many other vehicles on the road to watch out for. If you hit a car or obstacle you won't crash, instead slowing or stopping until you get around it. Some vehicles will drop things off the back so watch out for that too.

Apart from that, just beat your opponent to the finish and proceed to the next round!

Genre: Bike Racing
Time to Play: 15 minutes
Difficulty: medium/ hard
Available from: MiniClip

Acrophobia

February 18th 2009 09:43

Acrophobia, commonly referred to as Acro for short, and also known as Acromania, is a multi-round, multiplayer online Internet Relay Chat game. Many other implementations have been created since then by a number of different developers.

Players enter a channel hosted by a bot which runs the game. In each round, the bot generates a random acronym. Players compete by racing to create the most coherent or humorous sentence that fits the acronym - in essence, a backronym. After a set amount of time expires, each player then votes anonymously via the bot for their favorite answer (aside from their own).

Points are awarded to the most popular backronym. Bonus points may be also be given based on the fastest response and for voting for the winning option. Some implementations give the speed bonus to the player with the first answer that received at least one vote; this is to discourage players from quickly entering gibberish just to be the first. Bonus points for voting for the winner helps discourage players from intentionally voting for poor answers to avoid giving votes to answers that might beat their own.

Usually, nonsense backronyms will score low and the most humorous sounding backronym which effectively makes a sentence from the initials will win. Some rounds may have a specific topic that the answers should fit, although enforcement of the topic depends on solely on the other players' willingness to vote for off-topic answers.

To get started with Acrophobia, visit the Acrobabble site here to play a flash version of game.

Star Trek

February 16th 2009 09:29

This very involving and rewarding Star Trek game takes some getting used to, but it is well worth persevering with it. To start off, try experimenting with the game controls and functions - Cursor keys (Arrow keys) for ship movement, Mouse Pointer for ship options. The game provides hints and tips as you try different things. Before engaging any Dominion ships in battle, earn yourself some major Prestige Points by running trade missions from star system to star system (hint: try hailing a planet). Then use the Prestige Points to upgrade your ship at the Construction Yard near the Deep Space 9 Starbase (which is your home base). To warp to another star system, first accelerate to top impulse speed, then engage warp speed, then select the map and click on the system nearest to you in the direction you wish to go. Repeat this process as necessary, warping from system to system, until you reach the desired one. When travelling within a star system, make good use of your ship's scanner - it provides information vital to your success.

Your progress up to when you last docked at Deep Space 9 will be saved automatically when you exit the game so that you can continue from where you left off in the future, but you must play the game in this website again in order to be able to re-use the saved data
