Web Game: Our Soldiers

No Comments »

Dark Dolmen Studios has announced the release of Our Soldiers, a game that can be played on the web and players can play against each other or the computer. Our Soldiers is a clone of the Worms game, but instead of using little worms to carry out the combat, players use soldiers.

Players can choose from a few different soldiers. Once the soldiers are picked, the game play is very similar to Worms. The terrain is randomly generated and the players are randomly put on the terrain. Each team has to try to be the last one standing. Players attempt to eliminate the other players by using weapons to shoot and kill them.

The game is available on Facebook so players can compete against their friends. If you would like to check the game out, head to their Facebook Community.

Web Game: HydroStorm

No Comments »

HydroStorm is a racing game that takes place on Jet Skis. The player has to race around a water track and try to finish in first place while battling the other racers. The object of the game seems pretty simple, but to achieve the objective is not all that easy.

The other racers in the game will try to knock you out of first place by throwing missiles at you or other explosions. If you are hit by the explosion you will blow up and inevitably lose first place. Usually, I was knocked back into sixth place and had to battle my way up to first place again.

There are three laps to try and get into first place and hold first place. As the player is racing around the track they can get boxes, much like the question marks in Mario Kart for the Nintendo. The crates hold weapons that can be used against other players making it easier to obtain first place or hold onto first place.

The graphics are nice for a web game. The water looks like water and the tracks can be tricky to navigate with the great scenery on each side of the track. The first race takes place at a ship yard and the race track is created by old shipping buildings and old ships.

If you are into racing games, check out HydroStorm. You can’t go wrong with a free to play game.
