Rarely, extremely rarely do we come across a game that makes us play it so intently that, we loose focus of the objective of putting it up for you to play. Yes Mud and Blood 2 is just that game, hold on don't just start off playing it, read a bit more :)
Mud and Blood is a real time strategy game built around world war 2, where you try to keep the incoming Germans at bay. You start off with a team of four soldiers and progress to an army complete with officers, air strikes, tanks, rocket launchers, you name it, its incorporated.
The game is tough and takes a good amount of play time to get used to, its also completely random. Like for instance the first game I ended up playing was so tough, the controls were too many I nearly gave up after I died. The second go I had at it was much better, made me try again and now im hooked.
Unlike other games that progressively get more difficult this game involves a few perks as you play. You get medals and promotions, that not only allow you to get an advantage on the battle field but also unlock different play modes that change the starting crew of your army.
Sounds like fun yes, the game comes complete with built in statistics, a scoreboard to save your scores and compete with other players and also an autosave onto your computer for your medals and progress.
Don't miss out on the tips, and just when you think you have the game in control, it changes drastically, Mud and Blood 2 is an awesome game! Ten hut soldier, it time to take on the invading Germans.

Spitfire 1940
Its time to take on the German Invasion by commanding the British Air Force in Spitfire 1940. Spit fire 1940 is a strategy game where you command the British Air force, by controlling everything by putting people in charge of collecting scrap metal, building jets, spying for intelligence, rebuilding destroyed cities, fighting fire, recruit people and a lot more.
Using your spies intelligence, you can prepare for the incoming invasion and not be caught off guard. There are 6 cities where the Germans can attack and you need to defend these 6 cities, the intelligence is not accurate in the start due to the lack of manpower, although sometimes you end a day with a positive affect that throws you a bonus, or sometimes a negative effect deals a good blow to your strategy.
The game is to bring down 300 of those German planes and command victory over the invasion, it took me 58 days to do so. I focused less of the recruiters in the start, but perhaps using recruiters from the start can help you win the war against the Germans. Overall the game is good fun to play, and it ends prior to getting boring and monotonous. It does offer a lot, but thats only good enough for a while, until you figure out what to do.
Then most of the game time is spent on repairing and avoiding the Germans taking over a city and winning. Fun none the less, all the best commander, lets see if you have what it takes to keep the Germans out of Britain in Spitfire 1940.

Flaming Zombooka 2
In Flaming Zombooka 2, you assume the role of a bazooka launching zombie exterminator with a mission to protect civilians that are awkwardly placed to make you loose passing a level if you end up killing them.
This game is brought to us by big social gaming monster Kongregate, since I played offline im not sure but I think there are advertisements on each level of the game. So unplug your internet once the game loads and enjoy it if you like, to avoid annoying advertisements.
The objective of the game is simple, blow up the Zombies with your bazooka to progress through 45 levels of zomboid logic. Yes its just not another shoot em up, you need to use the given variety of bazooka shells, like the slider or the bouncer to try and kill the either incoming or just standing there zombies.
There also are various switches, handy tools, mincers, rolling stones and gruesome effects that will keep gore lovers enjoying the game to the very end. Although some levels do get a little bah, but the overall level of quality of the game is well maintained, with the art and repetitive tune, the game will be muted and enjoyed!
Head shots give you more points, collecting the brain damage gets your more points, so do head shots and gratuitous kills, using in level objects and rate each level you complete with a 3 star system, you can retry a level to improve your scoring! But that can be considered lame, enjoy Flaming Zombooka 2, 45 levels of zombie destruction now begin!

Civilization Wars
There are games that you enjoy playing for a while and then there are games like Civilization Wars, that you can end up playing for days, not because its difficult because its fun, interesting and comes packed with a whole lot of features that keeps you entertained for hours.
Civilization wars, takes the concept of bug wars and phage wars where you have bases to spawn and towers to capture and defeat the enemy with upgrading certain skills, is interesting. But the in depth evolution of your race where you can choose from skills, xp, agility, spells and much more make civilization wars stand out among the others.
Not only this but the game is immense with much more appealing maps with eye candy placed all over. The game is large, including maps, zombie mode, sudden death and much more built into it. So this means yes a lot of time with some gorgeous game play. But for those of you with old computers like this out dated laptop of mine, playing civilization wars on full screen put your processor to a test.
But this is by far one of the games I have played for far longer than many lately, yes I have had around four hours of my time with this game, which is impressive and I still haven't unlocked all the levels of the map nor have I unlocked all the modes that one can play with. So basically civilization wars can take up a minimum of 10 hours of your time if you like it that is.
Have a blast taking over the other civilizations! Update - I figured it out he trick to this game is, upgrade defence, attack, speed and agility very easy then!!

Age of War 2
Do you remember Age of War? Well if you played Age of War on the blog full of games, today we have Age of War 2. More units more upgrades and much more fun.
The game was fun at that time, today its even better, very easy to beat on easy modes and insanely tough on the insane mode. For those of you who have never played it. Well you start of it pre historic times, you have a castle and so does the computer. You build units starting off with a club man and ending up with cyborgs after passing through the ages in history from the romans, egyptians, modern warfare to a futuristic mode.
You need to kill enemy units for experience points that you can either use to launch a special attack or collect to progress to a new age, the second option always seemed better for me.
Age of War 2 includes a game speed setting that was not present in the first part, plus an additional unit for all the stages. What's even better is the the units now have specific upgrades that decides the outcome of the game. With a range of new upgrade, thoroughly improved game art, sound and gameplay, Age of War 2 is a must play, thanks to Max games!

Bug War 2
Well just after phage wars 2 we have a game built on the same concept, its known as Bug War 2. Not suprisingly bothe these games are from the same creator Armor Games.
But Bug War 2 is simpler to play has more upgrades and also have included achievements. So the basics and game play are fairly similar, lets start with whats similar. You have to capture colonies and number and strength matters here.
The difference is instead of free movement there are set paths, that your troops have to take and there are also towers that you can take hold of and use to strengthen your defences.
The game is fast paced and is good fun, enjoy it, ingame you shall get upgrade options, choose wisely as it makes a big difference, stronger units seem better than faster ones according to me!

Phage Wars 2
I don't know how many of you played pandemic 2, the main aim is to spread a disease that you create around the world and infect as many people.
Phage wars is created on a similar note, except that you have to spreade the virus from one cell to another cell and defeat the other viruses or antibodies present. You spread by clicking an infected cell and then another one.
The infection in a cell keeps increasing, but when you click another cell, half the infection is spread to the other one. This is probably the time when an enemy can attack your cell and take it over.
The aim is to wipe out all the other infections and be the dominant species. The user interface is fun, I will let you figure out how to start the game :) Should't be too tough! Infect.....Infect!!!!!!!!!

Balloon in a Wasteland
Its strange most of the latest games being put up here are from armor games, its not that there aren't good developers out there, but I played Sift Heads World, it was good but buggy as well and the save game option was too restricting.
The next was Zombie Apocalypse - Left 4 Dead, which I am considering putting up here, but its so much like endless zombie rampage, but that's ok I still enjoyed it, even with some of the crappiest graphics possible. The other one I tried was Warzone tower defense, but all these games were well kind of sub standard.
So since we have had a nice amount of substandard releases, I have had no choice but to put up the best of these. Although the concept of Balloon in a Wasteland is an idea that has been ripped off from Antony Lavell's Shore Siege, and I mean a complete rip off.
Its sad that even having the complete concept laid out in front of them Armor Games has released something so ridiculously stupid for anyone who has played shore siege. I managed to complete this game in no time, and possibly would have managed to do it even without purchasing any of the fort upgrades. All I needed was the assault rifle, I dint buy a single trap and purchased the fort just to see what it was like.
Repairing the balloon can happen really fast, the concept to sleep was new but not great that it can be spoken about, so here goes enjoy the best of the worst!

Potion Panic 2
After Bloons Tower Defense 4 we have yet another awesome release by Chris. This time its the sequel to Potion Panic, though we don't have the previous version of the game on our blog, its obvious Potion Panic 2 has to be better.
The game is like Shore Siege, where you defend you position against the relentless waves of skeletons, slugs, witches, spiders, monster flies, minotaurs and so on and forth.
But the essence of the game lies in the combination of potions selected, each potion has a specific amount of power and by increasing the quantity and variety you can create either acids, exploding bombs, stones, fire etc.
As you use potions, they tend to get over, you can refill either in game or between levels, the between level refills fill up the entire tank. You can also shop for upgrades, repair the wall that avoids your enemies getting at you or upgrade it and more.
Its time for you to come up with your own concoction! Don't forget to save that special combination and use it when you need! Remember some combinations work better on particular creatures than others, have fun!

Kings Island 2
If you recollect Kings Island the RPG that I found similar to Diablo, well the next edition is out, its 10 MB and more than all that its got a new character.
Unlike most games were you choose a character and develop its skills as you play Kings Island 2 has a twist to it, here you can swap or change your characters in game and even in battle with the click of a button, awesomeness.
Well apart from the new character which is a Mage, you have the old warrior that you are and this time a lot more conversational story line. The game play remains the same, but the complexity and difficulty of the game seems to have been upped a notch.
You can expect to have newer creatures to fight again and tougher ones coming up in a level or two unlike the previous version that picked pace slowly, you find yourself in the midst of action right in the start.
All said and done this game can have you spending quite a bit of time on it, not just with new weapons but an entire new skill map that you can choose which skills to harness and specials that can be used. Are you reader for some more wandering fun?

Shadez 2 : Battle For Earth
But this has changed in Shadez 2: Battle for Earth, you no longer are fighting against humans but a different species that has different weaponry. Also the game play has dramatically changed, you now have to gather resources build your city, army and then take on the enemy.
Not only does it have a skirmish mode where you can get down and dirty right away but you also can choose mission where the game play varies from defeating enemies, to rescuing civilians and also defending structures like the defend the white house mission.
Shadez 2 pushes the game play even further with a range of structures, tanks, choppers and infantry, you also have turrets and missile launchers to protect your base. This game offers a good variety of everything and extremely enjoyable game play as compared to the first version of Shadez. Sit back and get ready to blast some alien bases to pieces!

The Space Game
Its been a while since I have come across a game that got me glued to my computer, the guys at Casual Collective sure do know how to make some super games.
This is a real time strategy game based in space, you need to harness resources, defend your base and survive or mine depending on the objectives given to you at the start of the level. The game has a lot of interesting stuff as first you need to generate power with solar cells, I have not managed to complete the missions because I always end up loosing energy.
Your laser defenses consume huge amounts of power and during continuous attacks like the last mission, it becomes important to be able to have enough of energy stored or generated to keep feeding them.
There are interesting enemies and you have a decent arsenal of upgradable weapons, make sure you down run low on minerals or your games over right at the beginning. Enjoy this wonderful space game.

Shore Siege
Wow I just finished this entire game in one go, its a tad bit buggy with the drag and drop scene with the bird cages (better for us takes two birds sometimes) and a little frustrating with the turrets they just don't come up.
But the game play is super entertaining in this lovely defend your castle game with a tad bit of a story line and some seriously powerful weaponry like a rusted nail! Ha ha kidding, the snipers make the game much easier and so does the artillery.
You require some decent skill with the mouse and a lot of speed. You need to repair your ship to leave this island that's when the game ends, but to do so you need to kill monsters for a minimum of eleven days.
The water drop kills the fire balls, the fire kills the marsh mellows and artillery, snipers & turrets kill the rest. Overall this game is a must play that's why its here, enjoy this shore siege.

Kings Island
Kings Island is an action packed RPG game on the likes on Diablo, the PC game. In Kings Island you play the character of a warrior who has to restore order in the kings land by killing all the rebels. The game starts of at a slow place for the first level but soon progresses to a much faster game play.
You use the mouse to move and click to attack and pick up gold, gems, potions etc. There are three major screens, the inventory ~ where you can add potions to the bottom of your window for access with the number keys, you can also equip weapons and addons to your character here. The second is the characteristics and abilities screen, where you can add points after every level up.
The next is the mission objective that tells you what you need to do to pass the mission. You can press P to pause the game, you need to keep saving the game as there is no auto save, the save function can be accessed from the menu when you pause the game. Kings Island is good fun and its quite nice to see flash games really getting bigger and feature packed, its rather big around 9MB so hold on while it loads.

D-fence the Game
There are quite a few tower defence games available on this blog, it makes me wonder if this blog should get a tower defence section, cause I like these games as well, if you enjoy them too then here's a unique castle defense game called D-fence.
You are in control of a gun that you use to shoot incoming troops and make money, you buy troops to help defend the castle, upgrade the barricades, get people to repair it and get automatic defense.
Then air strikes at a click of a button, to destroy the increasing enemy forces. Overall the game is quite easy and not too long, it may only make your finger a little numb with all the clicking.

Star Dominion
Unimaginable things happen when a game like war craft or age of empires is put into a flash game. Not that its ugly or does not have the diversity that those games offered, its kind of unbelievable to see so much all put into something you can play from your browser, but I will stop going gaga now and introduce you to Star Dominion.
You know the drill, start gathering resources, build your empire, fortify it, gather troops and attack, yes thats the basic of all these games. But to see different buildings troops and most of all this game offers two different campaigns that you can play.
The game also has some little funny stuff in the menu, the creator shows off his support for Firefox and Wikipedia you may notice that while playing the game. Now how difficult is this game, I literally flew through the first level but was stalled at level two of the game.
I think its going to be quite a tough game to crack, that would require some extensive strategies to be worked out, I do hope you enjoy Star Dominion!

Shadez: The Black Operations
Wow a new game from Sean Cooper, the creator of the Boxhead series, out of which Boxhead Zombie Wars and Boxhead More Rooms were the ones that wasted maximum of my time. Heres the Shadez, trailer for all of you who want to take a look at what you can expect before you play the game.
But its different now, if you played Age of War you would be able to zoom with this one, its also a little like Autumn War, though the latter involves more strategy than this one. So there are units to be unlocked and upgraded
I will get back to it of course for a tougher level of game play but the arsenal of strikes available are very interesting. The battleship strike can take out a massive amount of enemies especially the missile launching ones.
The cluster bomb helps you clear out all the ground units at a point of time, I shouldn't give out too much, the B52 bomber is alright.

Pandemic 2
Well they din't find any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but thats alright cause its now your turn to end the world. The sequel to Pandemic, finds improvisations in game play that make the game playable and yes a lot of fun. Im on my fourth attempt while I write this, trying to infect Madagascar and New Zealand.
You are put in control of creating a disease that will kill mankind, you can start of with a Virus, Bacteria or Parasite, each with their set of pros and cons. Although the game seems to involve tremendous strategy at one glance in reality there is not much involved. The game could have been much much better but it does a good job at entertaining you for a couple of hours, although I seriously doubt you would get back to it after a couple of goes.
So after you choose from the three options at the start, you can then choose how you would like to proceed with the symptoms by clicking on the disease tab. You can choose a method of transmission like airborne, waterborne and then choose sneezing to spread it more effectively.
The world map keeps you updated with statistics from around the world, the game may take you a go to get used to but its pretty simple after you spend a couple of minutes with it. There's no need to go through the tutorials because it can be figured out quite easily after a wee bit of confusion.
I have not managed to find a major difference between Realistic and Relaxed mode, both seem quite similar to me. This makes it about time for you to get to work on you disease, lets see if you can put a stop to the Human Race!

The Blade of Innocence
Wow what can I say this game is expeditiously beautiful has been developed by Bao Youyuan from China, wow I am thoroughly impressed with the game play and the functioning of this game.
The objective of the game is to build your castle research technology, gather gold, muster up the army to destroy your enemies. Now the fun part of the game is all of it happens on your screen without the need to scroll at all.
There are two castles Eastan and Beilmen, yours is Eastan and your goal is to destroy the opponents caste. The game has a variety of modes Very Easy, Easy, Normal and Hard. Now I am quite a regular game player so I started off in normal mode and to say the least Beilmen gave it to me in the ass.
So I started off with very easy, managed to complete it on that mode as well as easy mode. I usually start off by by building a windmill because it takes a while before the first attack starts but this does not seem to be the only trick you need to have to defeat the game in normal mode.
There are quite a few units in the game, the best ones are available when you have built your castle, Colossus looks big and mean you need to research noble metal for that. Have fun playing the blade of Innocence and thanks to Bao Youyuan once again for this lovely game!

The Empire feels like a flash version of the age of empires, except its not as advanced but you still need to plan your moves.
