You won’t get the same adrenaline rush from flash shooter games as with most of the current generation PC games (think Crysis, Fallout 3, etc), but you can still have a lot of fun with them.
Especially when you’re ‘working’ or ‘learning’, flash games can be a great distraction. It’s a constant challenge to stop gaming and finish these articles.
There are a lot of them out there. A lot of different flash games, but also a lot of different genres. Even within the ’shooter’-genre, we can distinguish a lot of different sub-genres.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The amount of online flash games is enormous and even if you only look at all the decent ones, you’ve still got an awful lot.
When you’ve got multiple games, one’s bound to be better than the other. This way, you’ll always have the ‘good, better and best’.
Last time we looked at rhythm games. Before that, brain teasers were the topic. This time, we won’t be limiting ourselves to any categories. Today we’ll be looking at some of the best online flash games.
Have you ever got bored over a game and felt that you could create one that was better? Maybe the only thing that was holding you back was the lack of programming knowledge.
Now what if there was a way for you to exercise your creativity and create your own game without any programming knowledge? Wouldn’t that be great?

I am not the kind of person who has the patience to play through a resource management game. I remembered when I first played Rollercoaster Tycoon - it only lasted me 15 minutes before I decided to call it quits and I never played the game again.
When I got my hands on Now Boarding, a resource management game based on the Adobe Air platform, I didn’t have much interest initially and put aside only 15 minutes just to test it out. In the end, I spent the whole afternoon playing it. It completely blew my mind.
Rhythm. I’ve been told by a good friend of mine that I have none. That I can’t dance, can’t feel the music. I’ve tried to prove her wrong. But I must admit that I can’t. Dance, that is.
As for the rhythm, I won’t lay down the weapons just yet. OK, I may suck on the dance floor, but that doesn’t prove anything. I’ll just move on to another platform to prove myself.
The platform in question is a virtual platform. Online Flash Music Games. Rhythm games, to be exact. Can you feel the rhythm? Vini vidi vici.
Though a lot of money sneaks into next generation gaming, smaller, browser-based games are far from extinct. Everyday, tons of them are released on the world wide web.
As a reply to this huge part of the free gaming community, there will be one weekly MUO Gaming compilation of Flash games.
For this very first episode, we have pointed the theme towards a very important aspect of ourselves and our lives. It’s the thing that keeps the drool in our mouth and our feet on the ground nearly every day. As you may have guessed, I’m talking about our brain.
Through time, we strive to being more ‘in’ the games. Most of the time, we do this using new technology. Better graphics, better face emulation, better voice acting, etc. More and more the making of a game is getting up to pace with the making of a Hollywood production.
Then we have the other camp. The Nintendo Wii, example given. They give you a golfstick/baseball bat/bowling gloves to literally make you ‘feel’ like you’re in your game.
Today we’re going to review the third camp. People who look at the ‘being in the game’ thingie in a whole other, perhaps literal way.
Flash was originally created (and also broadly used) for website design. It didn’t stay with that though, as Flash also proved to be a great platform for animations and web games. Throughout the years, tons of sites have risen, offering an overload of Flash content.
We will be discussing a few of these sites today. More precisely, the best places for good and free flash games that play right out of your browser. What more do you want?
Yes, it’s a valid question! Well, on the internet, Sprouts are advanced Flash based banners that come in all sizes, containing all sorts of media, can be 100% custom designed or based on a template and, like a paper leaflet, they can contain several independent pages.
Basically, a Sprout can be anything from a very simple banner to a very elaborate mini website.
Do you depend on Instant Messaging for communication like I do? Have you ever been caught out there without access to your Instant Messenger?
I know I have been! Your friendly neighborhood Admin has been on location where I did not have administrative access to the computer (imagine that!) nor could I plug in my laptop into their network and do what I needed to do. There have even been times I could not get a cell phone signal or anything on my WWAN card. Some places are actually secure and lock down everything. AOL has an option to forward your IM’s to your cell phone via SMS but without cell service this wouldn’t work either!
