World with Tanks seem to have inspire a lot of tanks related game recently. (And a lot of clone)

Boom! Tanks

Visually speaking, Boom! Tanks is rather splendid. It’s powered by a smooth-running 3D engine that remains silky smooth even when kicking up dust around the highly detailed tank you’re commanding.

So far, the main game itself is very straightforward. You roll onto the battlefield automatically, so all you need to do is hold your finger on the screen to aim your cannon. You then hover it over the enemy tank. Once it’s locked on, you can fire your weapon.

The amount of damage you deal is based on how close to the centre you stop the swing-o-meter’s needle. If you’re in a tank with a Charge Shot, it’s dependent on how long you wait until you fire. It’s simple enough, and extremely satisfying when you see an opponent go up in flames.

Mashup of scrabble + simcity = verbocity

Here a game with a really cool concept it puts together the word game genre (like scrabble) and the city building genre (like simcity). You build buildings which cover an area and you get the letter under the area. To build another building you must have the letter to build the given building. If you want to build a “house” you must have all the letter in the word house.

And there is a little  extra twist you must balance between population, job and fun (recreational) building to get extra value for your town.

So far here are the word I’ve found :

House, hut, park, mine, factory, stadium, arena, statue, tower, skyscraper, condo, zoo, pub, bar, club, museum, court, barrack, field, townhall, dump.

Scrounger: another Zombie game

Another zombie game that caught my eye with his retro style.

The game play is actually really fun even though the controls are squishy and that you sometime was ammo for no reason. You got from room to room collecting ammo and food. You can shoot the zombie but there is more zombie than ammo so it’s better  to run from them most of the time. You clear an area when you collect everything or kill all the zombie.

World of Tank: from free to play to free to win

Wargaming the maker of Word of tank, has made a announcement that it won’t give in game advantage making the game “more equal” for paying/non-paying user.

From the article :

“Free-to-play games have the challenge of being sometimes viewed as low quality, and we want World of Tanks to serve as proof that a quality and balanced free-to-play game is possible. However, breaking down deeply-rooted stereotypes is no easy task.”
