Final Fantasy Sonic X1 is the first chapter is one of my favorite flash RPG games, Final Fantasy Sonic. In this episode, you start off by waking up and getting a sword from tails(after fighting shadow) and then finding out that Amy has been kidnapped. You then fight some assassin and get pwned. After that Megaman X and Zero heal you, gives you new powers, and the true adventure begins. I’ll go through a small walkthrough for this game(although its pretty easy) if you have trouble. I’ll be posting the other 5 episodes too, so stay tuned.

Retardo and the Iron Golem is a fun point and click adventure game that sort of reminds me of Journey of Reemus and plays the same way. Basically, you must interact with the environment and use objects to get past each of the level/scenes with the ultimate goal of defeating the iron golem and freeing the kingdom in order to win the hand of the princess. Since retardo is a retard, he has a guardian angel. Its a fun game to explore and play but I’ve posted a walkthrough below for those that are having trouble.

Samurai Master is a fun game where you are a samurai who is under a brutal and ambitious warlord. Unable to just sit by and watch the warlord is doing to the citizens, you decide to go to Tokyo(Edo) to warn the Shogun of the warlord’s evil plans. You must fight many samurai on the way to the capital and prove your honor and skills. This is truly one game I really enjoyed and did not get bored of the hacking and slashing quickly. The journey is broken up into several mini-levels from city to city.

First, you will face swordsman and archers. I suggest you go to the two ends of the map first to find the archers and kill them first, otherwise you will lose life by their arrows. Just jump over the swordsman to get to the archers and watch for the arrows as they fly close to you and jump over them too. Once you eliminate the archers, its easy to kill the swordsman at leisure going from one side to the other. Use that super-dash in emergencies.

Also don’t forget the three guys at the bottom of the map screen, the ones that heal and give upgrades, they are vitally important. The old guy heals you 1000 HP for 2000g. Wait until you lose 1000HP first before you go to him. Don’t go to him whenever you lose 50 HP. I’d get the +70 damage upgrade first before I get the aura and fatal strike upgrades, damage is pretty key. It’ll take you a while to get to Tokyo, buy its a a lot of fun on the way. I’ll post up a video if I can find one. Feel free to discuss.

3000 AD is a retro-style mechwarrior game where you are a disciple of one warlord faction on the brink of space and must destroy another warlord’s faction to gain control. This game embodies the classic Mech-Commander game pretty well, but its not without its flaws. The control layout is solid with A,S,D,W as movement, mouse to fire, and space to fire the missile. However, the one major problem with this game I had was that the contrast between your character, the enemies, and the background was not great enough.

Sometimes during a heated firefight, I had trouble wondering where my guy or the enemies were because they blended too much into the background. Bright colors for the enemy and your character would have helped a lot. Another thing is the difficulty. I had trouble avoiding enemy fire while firing at them(partially because I found it hard to see some of them). I usually had my health knocked down pretty far after just one or two waves and the missions were seemingly impossible to complete at times. The difficulty of the game needs to be toned down for casual gamers to truly enjoy. Nontheless, gameplay was pretty solid and if you were a mech-commander fan, you’ll probably enjoy this game.

Twisted Cooking Mama is a fun spin-off of the popular Nintendo DS game, cooking mama. Except, that game was nice and friendly. This game is well - not. In this game mama has become a sinister PETA-hating killer. Your mission is to use mama to kill, mutilate, gut, and torture the poor helpless animals in her preparation of her bloody meals. Its also to satisfy mama’s large bloodlust and hate for little cute animals. I found this game kind of funny and a little disturbing at the same time.

Putting in the evil mama concept was hilarious and using Mama to mutilate little animals was fun, but it did get boring after a while, although each level did bring new mutilations and was worth playing. Some of the levels did go a bit over the top, but I guess that is ok, since this game has little replay value after you run through it once or twice. Still, for those of you who like cooking mama and don’t mind animal cruelty too much, check this game out.

Omnomnom is a game where you are a hungry grub that must eat a certain percentage of the level’s leaf to advance to the next level. This game seems a bit odd at first but it actually is a pretty fun game. There is strategy to this game because if you just take random bites, you will fail to reach the goal, even on the first level. You only have a certain number of bites to reach your goal. I find that the best strategy in this game was to play it like a puzzle.

Each bite has a different shape and you need to piece them together in the shape of the leaf as much as possible. Start at the top and go from left to right and fill in the spaces you missed with the smaller bites. Do not randomly jump around the leaf and take odd bites where-ever there is space or your spacing will not work. Slowly work your way down the leaf but be quick to position your bites as the speed of the bites increases as the level goes on. You should be able to beat levels with a few bites to spare. If you don’t, it means you haven’t spaced well and are in trouble. Try this game out, it worth a 15 minute break.

Double Edge is a cool fighting and hack’n’slash game where you play a hero sent to an undead kingdom to defeat its evil overlord before he overruns the land with his undead minions(sound familiar?). This game played a lot like the earlier “Achilles” game in that it was smooth and it had nice animations for hacking and slashing enemies, along with the blood and graphics. But as with all these games, after a while, it just stopped appealing to me any longer — I can only hack and slash for so long.

If you really enjoy these games, then give it a try, it’ll be good at least for a break between work stints.

Kingdom of the Wind is a fun defense game where you must defend your castle that is up in the air. You must upgrade your mana supply, upgrade units, and more in order to survive wave after wave of oncoming attackers. Each wave is harder than the last and you must survive all the days to win the game. Upgrading your mana supply is crucial as you can summon units far quicker if you have a strong mana supply. I would actually sacrifice a bit of castle life in the beginning just to upgrade my mana supply and start building units when the enemies really start piling up.

If you choose to build a bunch of crap units in the beginning, you will not have adequate mana supply at the end to upgrade and build stronger units and you will die. I’ve posted a video of someone beating the 8th and final day. Its a little different than my strategy but still works.

Renegade Commanders is a command and conquer-like game where you must build buildings, train troops, and defend your base against enemy forces. To complete a mission, you must either gain enough territory or hold off against so many enemy waves. The first level is an introductory level to get you to learn the basics, the real game begins on the second level. I chose to play the GDA side(note the similarity to the GDI in the C&C series) and fight against the rebels, but both sides play the same way.

You need to note the strengths and weaknesses of each unit against each other unit. For example, the air units are good against everything except bazooka-men. For the first real mission when you are on defense, your first priority should be to build the 3rd power plant and a vehicle plant and start pumping out tanks and troops. Also, don’t forget to build the fifth turrets. While the troops and tanks in the 2nd level aren’t a real threat, the long-range cannons are. You’ll find your structures suddenly exploding if your not paying close attention. Always scroll the map with the arrow keys to keep a lookout for long-range artillery and keep a good combination of air troops, normal troops, and bazooka troops in your army. You’ll need to defend all sides but most of the artillery comes at the bottom. Do not let your barracks get destroyed or it probably will cost you the game. Keep troops on patrol at all times and kill off the long-range weapons so they have to come into the range of your turrets. Doing this will let you defensive structure kill most of their units and if a good way to victory. Good luck!

Hanna in a Choppa is a fun helicopter like game with physics and more controls. There are 21 levels in all, each with different flying goals and objectives. I suggest you play the first few levels carefully and do all the challenges like flying, hovering, landing, etc before you advance on into the later levels as the basics are very important and will serve you well in the later levels. This game combines the simplicity of the old Helicopter game with some new real-world mechanics which makes for a very interesting game.
