List of (worthy) browser-based games
Posted: December 31st, 2007, 6:41
Since I don't really see one, I took the liberty to compile a list of browser-based games which might worth taking a look at.
Games known to be played by 5punkers
Shartak
Werd. We all know the good old fistamong hunting game most of us plays.
Urban Dead
Zombies and teabagging, what else do you need?
Travian
Massively multiplayer online Sim City.
NationStates
The game where you are free to make any day a "Sex with a Goat" day.
Other games
Tinywarz
Tanks, mekas, mods, factions and planets - 2d, nearly text-based strategy game.
Pros: A well-working web based war and faction system. Unique solution amongst web-based-mmos.
Cons: You are practically useless without investing about a eighty pounds into the game. (Unless you spend about 100 hours a month levelling crews for rich people)
Runescape
Probably everyone knows this game, and I do believe little haven't tried it yet.
Pros: Complexity of a "real" MMO yet still stays simple.
Cons: Again, you are useless without paying monthly fees.
Dragonfable
A rather easy to understand 2D adventure game with a little extra humour added (though mostly wannabe-humour-but-fail).
Pros: Easy and you can basically access all content with a one-time fee per character (except for some stuff bought with "special money"). Frequently updated with new content.
Cons: Rather repetitive levelling and not quite massively multiplayer: you cannot meet any other players in the world. The PvP system is basically that you fight a computer-controlled copy of the target player.
Cybernations
This game is the crossover between Nationstates and all those strategy-game-clones floating around on the internet. Also, you might feel a bit crowded when you register as you will be flooded with alliance invitations.
Pros: You are given the tools for building up a nation in all aspects of politics, economy and military if you have the resources. Nation teabagging and sneaky spies are both options. Donation is an option but as in Shartak, you probably will survive without it.
Cons: Quite complicated system, takes a little time to understand how each function works. (I'm still looking for a way for changing my tax rates... -_- lol found it)
If you know any other games which worth a mention, just post it below and I'll add it to the list.
