Finger Footy - original football/shooter game

Here´s another day and obviously another new game on our arcade site. Today, there is an addition in the category of sport games. You can check it here:

FINGER FOOTY

Football Footy is a funny football game sponsored by Pepsi. Normally, these games, sponsored by big corporations, are not really too interesting (of course, that´s my point of view, I just don´t like them :-)), frankly, they use to be very boring, but Finger Footy is really different.

Your aim is to defend your hand against a bunch of soldiers (from antique Rome, maybe?) by shooting them down with a small ball. For each soldier you´ve got some points, if you score the goal, you´ve got another bonus (15 points for one goal). After couple of these little creatures it becomes pretty hard to shoot them down all :-)

I hope you´ll like this new game, if not, just drop me a line :-)

See you tomorrow!

Complete change of design - Online Games 3

After 2 months of running my online arcade site I have decided that it´s time for change. In fact, I was wondering multiple times before how to develop my site to become more user friendly for all online gamers. Finally, I´ve gone for it and I change my template.

The biggest change is layout style - I have upgraded site from 2 column to 3 column templates. Now, navigation is much more easier on the site. I have also changed colors. Although I liked my old velvet combination, I have chosen dar blue color combination with white background.

Witch change of template, I have added also a couple of new modules to the site. Now, you can bookmark your favorite game right from the site, you can view top 25 played games (with top 10 published on the main page) and also top 25 newest games (same as for top played games - you can see top 10 on the main page).

I have also added "select game" option, which I have deleted some time ago. Now, if you know the name of your favorite game, it´s easier to find it from the site.

"Online Games 3" should be now faster, more user-friendly and I hope you´ll like it. Anyway, check it out for yourself to see if you like recent changes :-)

Resize Shoot - New Shooter Game on Online Games 3

I want new shooter game! That´s what I´ve been thinking when I started to look for today´s new game addition to my arcade. As always, I have looked around few arcade sites I like and finally I went to talkarcades.com. And I found this funny game:

RESIZE - O - SHOOT

This game was originally published by FlashNinjaClan.com some time ago, but it´s still very interesting especially for lovers of funny shooter games. You can not destroy all bombs by shooting at them. You have to change also size of your bullets - blue bombs can be shot by bigger bullets, green bombs by smaller and black ones can be destroyed only by bullets with approximately same size. If you like shooter games, this one is definitely for you!

I´m pretty curious if Resize - O - Shoot will break in top 3 in shooter games categories, because I´m sure this game is one of the good additions and can mixed up this "mini-chart".

New Motorcycle Game: FMX Team

Today´s "editor pick" is another addictive and quite funny game, called FMX Team. How did I find this game? I looked around my favorite arcade websites and finally I ended on Albino Ninja. I really like this site, because its owner is very friendly and innovative - he picked AVarcade script made by Andy, totally changed its design and made a fabulous online games site. On his site there are only about 90 games, but all are hand picked and quality games! I have looked for his most played game and found:

FMX TEAM

Basically, this is a freestyle motocross game. You have to perform stunts and tricks and get enough point to advance to the next level. Another similar game Monster Wheelie has become the most popular game on my online games site so I´m pretty sure you´ll like this one too. In FMX Team, there is 15 levels in total but gameplay is pretty free - you just have to perform enough stunts (which is not so hard at the beginning) . The real fun comes with these stunts - you can show all your skills and fantasy by training to make wonder with your motorcycle.

I was not sure where to add this game on the site, if I should add it into action games or racing games and although its not a classic racing game at all, I have finally decided to add it there. Have fun, buddies!

New Logic Game: Boomshine

All friends of logic games should celebrate now! After adding a 3 different games from Andrew´s toplist (remember him? old owner of Finger Monkey) I have chosen his number one. So here is the most popular game on his site from the days he owned this arcade:

BOOMSHINE

As all games published on my arcade site I have played this game before adding it to my portfolio and I have to say I was just amazed!

Your goal is to burst as many dots as needed to pass the level. There is a total of 12 levels, first 3-4 are just training levels, to teach you how to burst multiple dots at the time. Really hard part of this game is in its 10-12 level. You have to burst 55 dots from 60 which are on the screen at the end.

Anyway, what is so motivating and addictive on this logic game is its beauty. I would never thing that bursting dots can be so great - colorful images are changing in frot of you and you are just wondering how beautiful can be such a simple game.

If you are fan of great, highly addictive online logic games, I strongly advice you to play this game as I´m sure you´ll find it great too!

New Political Dress Up Game: Barrack Obama

With forthcoming US presidential elections, I have decided to add a slightly political game. I have browsed several sites to find some good shooters or actions, but finally, I decided to add a new dress up game, so here you are buddies:

Barrack Obama Dress Up Game

This game is neither the best, nor the funniest dress up game in the world. BUT... the beauty of it is in its main character! You can change pretty everything on Obama: Image background, logo of his campaign, his appearance... everything. So if you are still undecided who would be the best US president for next 4 years, just give it a try and maybe this game will help you to decide. If not, you´ll have some fun with this highly actual dress up game

Great strategy online game: Heist - new game on Online Games 3

I was looking around for a new game to add to my arcade site. After all I have decided to add one of the "top 20" of Webmaster Andrew, former owner of another great arcade site fingermonkey.net. In fact, this game was in the top 6 of his own chart but I like it so much, that I added it as a second game (after adding Sonic and Tennis game few weeks ago). So, our new addition is:

HEIST

In fact, this game is really great, cause it´s original strategy/puzzle mixed game. Just in short: You have to steal most valuable diamond in the world! At the beginning of the game, you will be trained as a special agent and you will learn how to use all objects. Use ADSW for movement. Q stands for the "action", E for "special action". So, enjoy buddies and leave comments here or right on the site if you like this game!

Top Car Racing Games! Which is the most popular?

Which racing game is the most popular on my arcade? I was wondering about this today, when I browsed my gaming site. Racing Games Category was one of my favorites when I established established this site. So I looked into it once again and I just summed up how many times was played each game. Here are the winners :-) :

1st PLACE: MONSTER WHEELIE

On the first place of this small "car racing games chart" lies "Monster Wheelie". This is by far the most favorite game on the whole site! I have to admit, its success surprised me. Yeah, it´s great funny game, but it´s nor the latest game in this area, neither the most popular with greatest reviews on the web. Anyway, Monster Wheelie somehow becomes very viral and people on Online Games 3 use to play it more than any other games.

2nd PLACE: 3D RALLY RACING

This is my favorite racing game on my site! Yeah, this is my baby :-) . Unbelievable graphics, great gamplay, funny and addictive. When I found it on the web and decided to add it to my site, I thought this will be a huge success among players. Well, it recieved some traffic and now, it´s number 2 in his own category, but I´m pretty sure 3D Rally Racing will take off sooner or later and will be heading towards the most favorite game in this category.

3rd PLACE: WHEELERS

First non-car racing games in our mini chart. Although for the 3rd place, there are at least two or three candidates fighting each other, right now, Moto-racing oriented "wheelers" are on the top. This game is pretty professional and sometimes, I use to play it too, I´m sure that when a new top racing game will be added to onlinegames3.com, Wheelers will be replaced by it easily.

Well, this is my quick summary of Racing Games Category on Ultimate Gaming Zone. Position of Monster Wheelie is pretty solid, but if you´ve got some tips for racing games which are not included on our site, just leave a comment here, or send me an e-mail so I can add it and maybe this chart will be totally different next time.

See you tommorow :-)

Tower Defense Addicting Game: Elite Forces: Conquest

After 2 days of problem with my hosting provider, our free online games site is back on track! And as always, I have added a new game to our portfolio!

After last game being a quality dress up game, this time our war & defense category have grown up by one title! Ladies and Gentlemen, Let me introduce you:

ELITE FORCES: CONQUEST

This game was introduced in last July and since the beginning, it recieved many great reviews in online gaming world. It´s story is based in the near future. Your main goal is to eliminate dangerous droids and to protect the minimal resources you have left.

This game is one of the toughest war-defense games I have ever played and I wasn´t able to finish it after 4 days of playing. That´s why I have added it to our gaming site. Let´s try it, my friends, have a fun!

Wow! Google Adsense breaks in gaming Industry!

Google Adsense comes! According to Venture Beat after few months of testing, Adsense officially launches it´s own version of in-game advertising.

This should be a great news for all arcade webmasters, since if so big player comes to the playground, it can means only one thing - more funds and more ways to earn money for publishers.

Online Gaming is very great and fast growing market with more than 200 millions games played every month. By the end of 2011, this market should be worth $971.3 million and that´s pretty huge piece of cake for all competitors!

Favorite Online Games for 2008

What´s your favorite online game for this year? Not so easy to answer, huh?

Well, this topic was largely discussed at talkarcades.com (btw, ultimate forum for arcade webmasters, you should check it if you run arcade sites and are not registered there). and I followed it to find if any of games on my arcades will be mentioned.

Finally, YES! From the total of 9 games suggested in this thread, there were 2 games, which I have already published on my Online Games Site.

First one is War - Defense game called Shadez. It´s a great strategy game based on the same principles as well-known "Age of War" (you can find this arcade gem also on my site:)) with stunning graphics!

Another game was also from War-Defense section. It´s Duels - Defense - one of the best clones of Tower Defense Games I have ever played. It took me about 2 nights till I passed level 27 in this game, grrr. But actually, I like it personally very much!

Dress Up Geisha - New Game on Online Games 3

Yesterday, I have added a new game to my oldest online games site. Actually I have been searching for a new dress up game, since there were only 6 of them on this site. Dressing up pretty girls can be pretty funny, so I decided to make a pleasure to all "dress up games fans".

Recently I have added Halloween type dress up game, called Pimp my Scare Crow, and liked it very much, so I was definitely be looking for another unusual game of this type.

After doing a little research, I have found Dress Up Geisha. Personally, I liked it from the beginning, as Japan culture is so strange to us and indeed very interesting. As always, you can change hair, costumes, jewelry and many other things on this beautiful lady. I hope you´ll like it too, If you want to add comments to it, just don´t hesitate, sign up and comment this game on the site. Remember: That´s only you who decide which games will be published on this gaming site!
