Urban Galaxy is a 3D real-time MMORPG set in a futuristic megaopolis where you command a spacecraft, taking part in battles, quests and dynamic events.

It’s a good looking game, all the more impressive that it runs entirely in your browser, with no need to download anything. You can play alone, with or against friends or even sit back and watch epic battles as you casually fly through the game districts. There are plenty of event types to keep you interested for a long time.

You can upgrade your arsenal with a wide array of weaponry, special attacks and defence mechanisms, but you’ll still have to pick your battles - mobs that you challenge will really fight you back. Combat is intuitive and fun, with ships being easily manoeuvrable and agile. If you’re looking for a way to pretend to be Han Solo for a while, this’ll scratch that itch.

Avast ye landlubbers! Pirates Online Rewritten is an ongoing project to recreate and improve upon the now defunct Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean Online, the fun piratey themed MMO that shut down on Sept 2013.

This is a fan made project that uses Disney Interactive’s POTCO assets and content (with their permission) that’s strictly non-profit orientated and 100% free to play – it has to be or Disney will sue. This means that Pirates Online Rewritten is being created by devs who are genuinely passionate about the game, and it will be an MMO geared towards gameplay and fun, instead of fleecing players out of their cash with micro-transactions.

All going well, Pirates Online Rewritten could be a great MMO, be warned though, pirate games can be quite addictive – they say once ye lose yer first hand, ye get hooked!

Zombies Monsters Robots (ZMR), is a fantastically over the top looking third-person shooter in which you’ll fight (yup you’ve guessed it) zombies, monsters and robots. It features a suitably ridiculous Sci-Fi story about humans inventing a cross-dimensional portal that allows a whole army of nasty Zs, Ms & Rs access to our world. Of course, they’re not just popping over for a cup of coffee, instead their plan is to kill, crush and destroy any humans they come across, including you.

Developed by Yingpei Games (collaborators on Gears of War), it’s a spiritual successor toMercenary Ops a hugely successful game with over 30 million registered users. Gameplay looks quite similar to the Gears of War series, with OTT weaponry and some masterful enemy design, up to eight players working together in co-op missions or 16 players going head to head (includes monsters Vs humans mode).

ZMR looks set to deliver some fun, team based third person combat with great visuals, style and enemy design. It’s Gears of War, Online and turned up to eleven.
