Why Play Online Shooting Games

27 11 2010

Do you need to put off a little bit of aggression during your lunch break? Are you thinking of improving your aim so you can improve your performance in virtual shooting matches? Have you just got a few minutes to spare and want something that’s going to be easy and enjoyable? Then you should check out how to play online shooting games.

Experience the Fun

If you’re interested in how to play online shooting games, you will find a lot of options available. Some of them even closely resemble the classic arcades games of the past. These are the same kind of games that had players pretending they were hunters and virtually shooting at their TV screens. You can now re-experience all of that excitement while just sticking close to your computer.

Competing in a Different Way

While other types of shooting games put players against each other in direct competition, you can also find a kind of competition with Flash versions of these games. When you play online shooting games, your high scores are recorded and that means you can contend against other players to get the top scores. The good thing here is that you don’t have to think about dealing with players who are going to cheat or who want to spend more time showing off their skills than competing in a board. You play your game and that is all that matters.

Affordability & Accessibility

The best thing is that you can play online shooting games for a fraction of the cost compared when you buy console games or games that needs to be installed to your PC. Also, the Flash technology behind these games makes it easy for the average computers to use them. There is no need to upgrade your system when you want to play a game.





PS3 Shooter Games For Christmas 2010

26 11 2010

When it came to choosing the right games to include in this article as my top picks, the first choice was really an easy one. Call Of Duty: Black Ops is already smashing sales records within a week of its release, and it is indeed looking very likely that it will end up being the best-selling video game of all time once the Christmas shopping season for this year is over and done with, so there is definitely no way that this one could be anywhere but in the top spot for shooting game recommendations. If you missed all the anticipation, excitement and advertising for it then Call Of Duty: Black Ops is a first person shooter game that is set in the time period of the cold war, and in which you play as a special forces soldier using stealth as well as your sharp shooter skills to go up against the forces of communist evil around the world.

Second choice is a bit more difficult. One of my favourites, and one which offers a really good contrast in style with Call of Duty as it is all about maximum damage and head on action is Battlefield Bad Company Ultimate Edition. This game is very expandable with new maps and so on which you can download once you’re done with the basic game.

My third choice is the limited edition version of Medal of Honor which has been recently released and which includes new weapons and other new features.

And with the release of the PlayStation Move controller in time for the Christmas shopping season for 2010, it is worth looking into purchasing this with a gun attachment accessory, which would be a great gift choice for any PS3 FPS gaming fan that you are buying for this year. I can’t recommend any specific titles that are compatible with PlayStation Move, but there are a number of games being released just in time for Christmas to go with the new controller.

I hope that this article would help you decide what to buy, and may you have a great Christmas!





Tips to Get Better at FPS Games

24 11 2010

Not doing well with shooting games? Here are some tips that could help you get better:

Have decent computer specs and internet connection. Increasing your FPS will immensely help you in your game, seeing how many bullets your weapon fires per second your computer can handle. Having a high-end computer isn’t necessary for this, however you don’t want to be the one lagging up the whole room.

Don’t hack! Many players find that they aren’t good at FPS, and will just give up. They don’t actually give up on the game, they decide to stop playing fair and resort to hacking. Hacking is an annoyance and can decrease your reputation or even get you banned in the game.

Practice, practice, and practice some more. Spending hours playing the game is better than any secret out there. Shooting games take time if you’re just getting into them. Having no experience and not much hand-eye coordination can make the experience really hard at first. But playing the game for a while and getting the hang of it will eventually make things easier for you.

Turn your mouse sensitivity all the way up. Why? Because if you master your mouse movements, you can maneuver your character more quickly and precisely, and most importantly, your aiming. Having your mouse sensitivity on high means you have the option to react with a fast turn. If you have your sensitivity on low, it will take a couple seconds for your character to react when you are getting shot at.

For everyone with low-end computers, turn your settings down. There is no use for all the effects and graphics when your computer can’t handle them. As I mentioned in my first tip, you can only fire as many bullets as your computer can manage.

Drink Mountain Dew. It doesn’t really have to be Mountain Dew. Any caffeinated drink would do the trick. All that caffeine will give you a boost and increase your mental alertness, which in turn will improve your reaction time. I’ve read that a lot of pros do this. I highly recommend that you try it too.





PS3’s Sports Champions – A Revolutionary Approach to Archery

19 09 2010


For quite a long time sport enthusiasts have been waiting for a Playstation 3 shooting game to be created for them. Nintendo Wii has Wii Sports, but now PS3 has Sports Champions. Sports Champions offers 6 wonderfully recreated sports: Disc Golf, Bocce, Archery, Gladiator Duel, Beach Volleyball, and Table Tennis. Each game will take you to new heights in sports console gaming.

The impressive gameplay and amazing move control scheme in Archery have definitely marked a milestone in the field of sports gaming. Archery has proven its worth to a horde of fans of the simple bow and arrow, which was popular during the DOS era. It can definitely compete with the high definition and powerful gameplay of Wii Sports. There are a variety of techniques that a player needs to master, in order to play Archery. And when you master it, you can take a snapshot of your accomplishments by publishing your medal photo in various social media sites. Thus you can share the achievements with your friends in order to show them how good archer you are.

The game control is very close to the real archery. You have to use two move controllers in order to hold the bow and arrow in place. You then have to focus and aim at the right target. With the game requiring perfect timing, you can’t just fire the arrows because you will end up missing the target. You need to carefully concentrate to hit the bull’s eye. The arrows are fired by releasing the trigger allowing you to feel it as if it’s real. It is like you are on the field and you are on a real archery range.

There are different game options that you can choose from too. You can play tic-tac-toe archery, target range, or a shooting gallery with fruits and money.

If you have a knack in playing archery and you love shooting games, this game is the right pick for you, so consider putting it into your watch list.
