Six very good flash games have been reviewed in the last month, although when it comes down to replayability and the sheer amount of time we pumped into it there could only be one choice.
These are the Top 3 Games.
Today’s weekly update is sadly missing as the entire weekend was spent redesigning the website, more updates to the website will be implemented over the next week, also to make up for the lack of an article today there will be extra content published this week!
Look forward to it!

“The game that takes you under the surface of arcade-style gaming and into the roots of fun. Tipping the hat to old favorites such as Dig Dug and Boulder Dash, Motherload incorporates a modern interface, fast-paced gameplay, and an in-depth storyline. Experience exciting gameplay in the substrata of Mars, where you’ll search for the Motherload; A [sic] fabled cache of rare and valuable minerals.”
Motherload while not being one of the latest games from XGen, is one of their more popular offerings. Winner of “Action Game of 2005″ from MiniClip.com, Motherload is a fairly enjoyable game. As the site says the game is fairly reminiscent of Dig Dug with all the umm… digging action. The game is fairly simple initially.
Games on the whole are all pretty weird but we, as gamers, just take this on board without really questioning them. We never wonder where Sonic puts all those rings when he’s quite clearly naked (possibly in his oversized socks?) or indeed why he’s even naked at all!! Nope it’s Sonic, he must have a reason and just hasn’t felt the need to explain himself! The following 5 games will make you think though, as they are just TOO bizarre to sit comfortably with our sense of what’s acceptable, observe:
The weirdness kicks in right from the off in Monster Party, the game starts with a cut scene of the main character, Mark, walking home from a baseball match with his bat over his shoulder. A gargoyle named Bert (as all the famous gargoyles are) spots him and whisks him away to his home planet charging him with killing all the invading monsters with his trusty bat.
It’s the bosses that really steal the show here with one being a giant spider lying on the floor, you enter the room and he shouts “Sorry I’m already dead” and that’s it, you win!! Result!! Others include 2 zombies who dance for 30 seconds then collapse and die, a bouncing shrimp and a huge cat that throws small kittens at you.
June has been quite a good month for Casualty Gamer, each week the readership has been going up, we are slowly getting higher ranked on the social networks, there have been numerous improvements on the site and we have been staying on track with our article publication deadlines.
If time permits over the next few weeks I’ll continue to slowly improve the usability of the site, and make it look ‘prettier’.
And July looks like it could be even better as I try to recruit a few like minded writers who want to help run a gaming website.

Sick of Warcraft, Conan didn’t click? Well these are the top #12 upcoming MMORPGs & MMOFPS.
Aion is a Korean MMORPG from the creators of Lineage, although Korean developed it is planned to have a worldwide release.
Aion’s world has quite a unique fantasy look to it, and is based in somewhat of a dream-like reality.
Almost all of the game’s feature are still cloaked in mystery, although their biggest announced selling feature is that all characters have the ability to fly, and can be involved in aerial combat
What it has going for it
Release Date: Early 2008

Darkfall is another fantasy MMORPG, its biggest selling point is that it are trying to blend in real-time strategy elements with the role playing eg, politics, diplomacy, kingdom building.
Combat in Darkfall is intended to be skill based, and hence you wont have to spend hours leveling your skills to be able kill bigger monster.
Another of the game’s features is that apparently you’ll never have to reroll your characters, as your character can be changed to suit how ever you want to play them.
Two cool features they are bringing back from the older RPGs; that there will be no safe zones for PvP and player collision detection is back, meaning it’s possible to block doors with your characters or shield players.
What it has going for it
The apocalypse is here! The wall of doom is closing in! And you have to use your speed and dexterity to outrun it for as long as possible!
Dino Run is the latest game by Pixeljam, in Dino Run you control (non-surprisingly) a dinosaur, you have to navigate him through each level as fast as possible before the impending apocalypse catches up, and while doing so picking up eggs, bones, power-ups and DNA.
Dino Run has a very retro feel to it due to its impressive pixel art work, even when you’re running at full speed you’ll want to slow down just for nostalgia’s sake and admire some of the impressive art work.
Released today was the latest episode in the TF2 ‘Meet the’ series Meet the Sniper, sneakily shown in the episode was one of the Pyro’s new weapons.
Albeit briefly but it’s there…
I’ve done the NES RPGs, the SNES RPGs.. the next logical retro step would be the Genesis(aka Mega Drive), thus these are the top Genesis RPGs
