Free Kick Challenge : goal !

Free Kick Challenge is a free Flash game for all soccer fans. You have to deal with four parameters to score your goal : the direction, the pitch, the swerve and finally the power. All of them are interdependent. For example, depending one the cirection you have chosen you'll have to put more or less swerve to keep the ball in the frame. Proceeding in the game, you see defenders appear who will make it harder for you to score. Be careful : you have no right to fail even once, if you do you will restart from the beginning.

A good wakeboard game in Shockwave

This game is terrific. It's a wakeboard simulation with not-too-bad graphics and good gameplay. It's a bit difficult at the beginning but it quickly becomes addictive. Begin with the tutorial to learn how to perform jumps and tricks. You'll just need the Shockwave plug-in to play with this free game in your browser. The only price to pay is to watch the ten-second ad which appears before the game starts.

The best multiplayer golf game : Albatross18

After having played good games like PGA and co, I thought I would never be excited again about golf games. That was before I discovered Albatross18. This multiplayer game has absolutely beautiful, toon-styled graphics, good gameplay, funny musics, a touch of magic, and you can play it for free. So what's the deal ? In fact, the more passionate players can spend their money buying special items or powers. But believe me, it's not necessary. Have fun playing golf with your friends or unknown competitors from all around the world.

Trackballs, a free clone of Marble Madness

You may know Marble Madness, a commercial game in which you have to "drive" a sphere on curious tracks without letting it fall. Trackballs is somewhat the open source version of this videogame. It's a bit difficult at the beginning, so you'll have to train a little bit before really feeling the sensation that you control the ball with your mouse. Once it's OK, I can tell you that you will have much fun, this game is really worth trying.

Shockwave game : a table tennis simulation

I just love this table tennis simulation ! At the beginning, you will think it's too hard for you when you lose by 21-0. But after a few games, you will find how to handle the racket with the mouse - and you're gonna have big fun. The trick is to move your mouse as if you were really playing with it, with a forward movement and no click necessary. Too bad you can only play with three different opponents in this demo version in Shockwave.

A Flash version of Street Fighter 2


Did you know that the cult fighting game Street Fighter 2 had a Flash avatar which is playable freely on the Web ? It's not exactly the same as the original one : the kicks are a bit different and you can play only with Ryu, the karateka who launches fireballs. The fights are somewhat difficult because you have to play with the keyboard but simple combinations are available for the special blows.

Trackmania Nations : the ultimate free racing game

If you like car races with crazy tracks, loopings and so forth, stop searching : you've found the best free, multiplayer racing game ever. With Trackmania Nations, you'll have tens of tracks to train on, before competing in online challenges. It's a bit difficult, in the beginning, to deal with these unusual tracks with various obstacles, springboards and loopings, but it's a real delight once you've succeeded. If you have some inspiration, you can even create your own racing circuits with the editor. My advice : don't miss this free game, you won't regret it !

Dad 'n Me : an atypical fighting game

That's what we can call a non-politically correct game. In "Dad 'n Me", you're gonna play the bad guy - in fact the bad boy. You're a monster's kid who has to kick and punch all the little children in the neighborhood. You can even grab them and throw them on the road so that the cars pass on them! Of course, you'll need some second-degree sense of humor to appreciate this free Flash game.
