Fun car games to play

Car Games
Everyone has some type of favorite online game. Some people dive into the realm of role=playing games, other enjoy a simple flash game based off their favorite game show. Others of us get our internet gaming entertainment from car games. Car games can be a great way to kill time on a day where there might not be anything else available to do or even on a rainy day. However, there are the games that exist which may not fill ones need for speed. Despite this, great games on the internet can be found easily. These are three that any casual online gamer will love.

One game that car game lovers will enjoy is Moon Rally. Moon Rally is a game where you’re driving through 18 levels on the Moon’s surface. As you progress through each level, it gets more difficult to get through. The player encounters different obstacles over the course of the game. Rocks and steep hills are among what the player must get through to achieve the best time. The controls of Moon Rally are simple: the player uses the “Up” arrow to accelerate, the “Down” arrow to brake, the “Left” arrow to pull back, and the “Right” arrow to pull forward. Moon Rally is a different sort of car game that combines strategic thinking, good music, and easy controls for a fun experience. An overall rating for Moon Rally: 8/10

The next game, Micro Racers 2, is completely different from the first. The games controls are easy to handle, again the up arrow is to go forward, the left and right arrows are to steer, the down arrow is to brake, and the space bar is for the “Nitro” that you receive every few seconds. In the fast-paced game, you have 3 different modes: Championship, Challenge, and Trial. In trial, it’s just you and the track. Your only objective is to get around the track in the fastest time possible. In challenge mode, it’s a simple 5 lap race. The goal here is simple to win. Championship mode is like challenge mode, except instead of winning one race, you have to try to win several. Micro Racers 2 is a fun game for anyone with a competitive spirit. An overall rating for Micro Racers 2: 7/10

The last one is Street Drifting. It handles just like the previous two games, the up arrow is to go forward, the left and right arrows are for steering, and the down arrow is for braking. At the beginning menu, you can create your own custom car for the game. You have the option of changing the model of the car, its skirt, its wheels, its door, the roof, and you can change the color of the body of the car and create tinted windows in whatever color you want. The tracks are fun, and you’re going to have to work hard to make sure you win the race. An overall rating for Street Drifting: 9/10

Arcade Pool reviews

Pool is such a classic game, and there have been so many digital versions. Miniclip.com’s8 Ball Pool is one of the most played of all time with over 1 billion games played online. The game now comes to iOS, and is all about speed. You’re given the regular rack of 15 balls, and you try to hit them all in as quick as you can. You start with 3 minutes, and you get a 10 send bonus for each ball you hit in. Once you hit 14 balls in, you’re given a new rack of 14 balls, and you keep going through racks for as long as you can.

There isn’t much to the game, and feels just like a basic flash game ported to the iPhone, and that’s because it is just a basic flash game ported to iOS. Once you’ve played once through you’ve seen everything in the game, and there isn’t much to come back to. There are Game Center headboards but no achievements. The game does have a nice arcade style that makes pool extremely dependent on time, and provides plenty of action. It would just be nice to see more game modes, or some type of variability.

You know what you’re getting with 8 Ball Pool ($0.99, iPhone), and there just isn’t that much. The gameplay is good except for the controls which are quite tedious on the 3.5″ iPhone/iPod Touch screen. There are a number of times where you don’t aim precisely, hit with the wrong power, or just perform a shot before you mean to. There is a multiplier system from sinking consecutive balls, but the entire time you’re playing you just want there to be more to the game.

8 Ball Pool is worth skipping for even $1, and if you really want to play the game just try the free flash version.
