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.

Wings of Saint Nazaire is very pretty, multi-player action-orientated space simulation game inspired by Wing Commander and the X-Wing series.

The ships have a great arcadey feel, similar to X-wing, nimble and agile, making dogfights a delight. This makes Wings of Saint Nazaire easy to pick up and play, but there’s also plenty of depth, with plenty of advanced tactics available thanks to the ships energy management system and a nice selection of weaponry.

One of the best things about the game though, is the graphical style, it uses a mixture of sprite and basic 3D polygon graphics to great effect. Allowing for plenty of ‘wow, that looks f*#%ing awesome’ moments.

With exciting gameplay, tactical depth and beautiful vistas, Wings of Saint Nazaire is shaping up to be an excellent game. Whether you’re blowing things up or just admiring the scenery, you won’t regret getting in the cockpit.

Donkey-Me is a cool little retro game that sees the Original Donkey Kong game re-skinned with wonderful pixel art style representations of classic movies.  These movies include Star Wars, Alien, Gremlins, Indiana Jones, The Exorcist, Rambo (first Blood), and several others, all brought to life in glorious 8-bit form.  

The soundtrack is also excellent, with 8-bit chip-tune versions of all the movie scores, all instantly recognisable and sounding great.  

The mixture of retro gameplay, graphics, music and classic movies all add to the nostalgic charm of the game, making it a must have for all retro game fans.  Did we mention it also has a Flash Gordon Skin?  Get it now!  :D

StarMade is an impressive Minecraft inspired 3D sandbox space shooter that allows you to build and pilot gigantic spaceships and explore the galaxy.

The customisation and ship building aspects of the game are truly impressive, allowing you to build ships and massive space stations using minecraft style building techniques.  You’ll then be able to kit out your ship with customised weaponry, shields, salvage and stealth technology.  This can all be done in multiplayer too, allowing you to share control and design your ship together.

You can then explore the galaxy and fight enemy ships, using your ships arsenal of missiles, lasers and explosives, or you can board them and take them out from the inside.

Starmade is a wonderful sandbox game that could be described as ‘Minecraft in Space’, but really, it’s much more than that.  It’s an great game in it’s own right.
