Shadez 2 - new RTS stragey game

Here’s a great example of what can be achieved with Flash.  Shadez 2: Battle for Earth is a very stylish and well designed real time strategy game.  You control a mercenary army whose mission is to defeat the eveil robot enemies and regain control of Earth.

The game uses a very stylish silhouette graphical design which is quite striking and works really well for the genre.  It’s a 2D game, sidescrolling so there’s not a lot of depth to the gameplay and you’ll learn the tactics needed to beat each level quite quickly, but that doesn’t stop it from being a lot of fun.  If you’re a strategy game fan you’ll love it, if you’re not then this might be a good introduction to the genre for you!

Facebook and Twitter highscores come to Kwikgames

Sorry for the lack of updates in recent weeks, I’ve been extremely busy working on games for a couple of big clients and that has left very little time to update Kwikgames. Don’t worry though, I have some big updates planned for next week including 2 big batches of themed games…

Reason for posting today however, I’ve been testing the new HeyZap viral integration for adding highscore posts to Facebook and Twitter. This functionality will likely be added to all of my games in the future, but if you want to check out my first test then play Robot Run and see what you think!

It’s a simple arcade/action game, just see what highscore you can muster and then it’s a single click to share it with your friends…

Street Fighter 2
If you’ve not yet played this Flash version of the classic 1990s arcade beat-em-up we added last week then goplay it now! This is the champion edition of Street Fighter II which rocked the arcades back in the 1990s.

Great new arcade games, word games, cooking games

Today I’ve got some real gems for you… a new cooking game, a couple of puzzle games, and one of the best emulations of a classic ’90s arcade beat-ep-up I’ve ever played!  So let’s start with the best…

Street fighter IIStreet Fighter 2 - Champion Edition

The classic 1990s arcade beat-em-up comes online in the champion edition of Street Fighter II - Champion Edition.  Street Fighter 2 redefined the beat-em-up genre, and picked up a failing arcade industry back in the ’90s.  It was truly one of the great arcade games of all time, and spawned a huge number of wannabes and rivals.  Without Street Fighter 2 we’d probably have to Tekken, no Mortal Kombat, and no Virua Fighter.

The Champion Edition allows you to play all 12 of the original characters, including the 4 bosses.  All 6 of the buttons are emulated and even though you need to use the keyboard the controls are amazingly very close to the original - and doing a dragon punch on the keyboard isn’t as difficult as you might expect after a little practice!

Other new games today are Stratagem, a “three in a row” puzzle game with a twist, a free cooking game called The Cake Maker, and a free word game called Word Reactor!

SAS: Zombie Assult game

Fancy a quick blast? Here comes SAS: Zombie Assault.  Echoing such golden greats as Alien Breed this top-down arcade shoot-em-up is fast, furious, and will have you on the edge of your seat. The graphics and audio are atmospheric, and there is enough variety in the game to keep you interested through the 20 levels…

Your aim is purely to survive. Fend off the attacking zombies using an assortment of weapons, upgrading and repairing your defenses, and even buying mines and sentry guns. You’ll need a mixture of a quick trigger finger, and a certain amount of strategy to make it through all 20 waves.

Fancy a challenge? Try to beat all 20 levels on your first attempt… I didn’t quite make it, dying just moments from glory on wave 20 with a score of 20,033

Can you do better? Leave a comment in the review box if you can!
