Games for all the platforms

AssaultCube

AssaultCube is a free first person shooter multiplayer game. Produced by Rapid Viper Productions, it is based on the CUBE engine. Anyone who has ever played Quake or Counterstrike will feel right at home here. The game takes place in realistic settings, but the action remains fast and furious. The game has single player and multiplayer modes, but clearly multiplayer is its strong suit. In single player mode you get to play in 26 maps against the computer. There are various difficulty settings to choose from. Playing in single player is a good way to hone your skills and get familiar with the maps.

Ice Age Village

Ice Age Village is the official game tie-in for Ice Age. Created by top developer Gameloft, it is an adventure game for everyone. While primarily designed to promote Ice Age, it’s actually pretty cool. The game takes place at the onset of the Ice Age (keeping in line with the films). This leads to the breakup of the continent of Pangaea. This situation means you have to find new homes for the characters (the same as those in the films).

Flying Sheeps

In Flying Sheeps, you get to play a distraught but determined farmer who is serious about getting his sheep back. You use and maneuver around a hot air balloon while trying to collect all of the flying sheep and bring them back to their pens on the ground. Developed by Bad Mouse Digital Art, the company is a small indie game developer from South America, particularly Chile. Apart from this one, the team has also released their multiplayer action game, Red Flag for the PC.

Bos Wars

Bos Wars is a free real time strategy game (RTS) set in the future. This fast paced RTS game has you creating a war economy while battling enemies all around. Unlike turn based strategy games, the events take place in real time. You don’t have to wait your turn, but then neither do your enemies. This will keep players on their toes. The game is challenging but not frustrating. The key to success is creating an army to attack your foes. At the same time, your army must be able to defend your plants needed to power the economy.

Dead Trigger

All the hardcore gaming fans with a thirst for some eye-popping graphics, it is time to welcome the ultimate in mobile gaming in the form of Dead Trigger. This is one game where Zombies will make you squeal and gore will become a part of your life. Dead Trigger was developed by Madfinger Games, the developers of the most visually outstanding games, such as, Samurai Vengeance and Shawdowgun. The developer has gone one step ahead in the fight against piracy within the Android ecosystem, and made Dead Trigger available for free. Commendable job we say.

Bomberman vs Zombies

Another game to satisfy the gaming hunger of Blackberry users. Bomberman Vs Zombie is quite a fancy name for a Blackberry device, but it really is interesting and amazing in its own right! Bomberman Vs Zombies was developed by Contlex Labs LLP and they have really done a great job to say the least. The developer has created a number of titles for the Blackberry and Android devices and it comes as no surprise why they are popular among its users.

Jaws Revenge

Jaws: Revenge is the sequel to the successful Jaws iOS game. This one takes all the fun in the first game and ups it several notches. This time, Fuse Powered Inc allows you to play the shark, destroying boats, and of course, tearing, shredding and eating hapless human beings and seagulls. The goal is simple: try to rise from the ocean depths and cause as much pain and destruction as possible. The game controls are very simple. Pressing and holding the screen causes the shark to dive. Let it go to send the creature up. It will go into the air, smashing boats, barges, lands, places and people. When the shark gets to eat, expect blood and gore to fly.

0.A.D.

When it comes to free real time strategy games, 0AD by Wildfire Games is one of those that stand out. Although under heavy development, the game is already very playable. Like other RTS games, you have to manage resources, build an army and manage an economy. There are six civilizations: the Carthaginians, Romans, Celts, Hellenes, Persians and Iberians. Each one has strengths and weaknesses. When you play the game, the resources are displayed at the screen bottom. The mini-map is at the left. To select all units nearby, double click. You can assign units to perform tasks like building structures. Of course you can order them to attack the enemy.

Jurassic Park Builder

Jurassic Park Builder by Ludia is based upon the popular film series. If you ever wanted to build your own park with dinosaurs, this is your chance to do it for free. The game setup is similar to that of Tap Zoo and Farmville. Here you have to build a park for dinosaurs. The objective is to make money and manage the resources. The dinos make you money that have to be collected, and you than have to use the income to buy vegetables, meat and other necessities. If the animals are well taken care of, they will grow and attract more visitors.
