Recently I was contacted by Ludobox and they asked me if I wanted to do a few articles about their website and flash games. The website is simple and easy to navigate. You can even play the games without having to sign up – but you won’t be able to post highscores in the games that supports this feature.

If you sign up, not only will you be able to compete against other Ludobox members, you will be able to comment on the games, review them if you will. There’s plenty of games to choose from – the numbers are reaching close to whopping 2500 free flash games and counting.

Besides the free flash games, there’s also downloadable ones, but you have purchase them from bigfishgames, it seems ludobox only represents these games as part of a “sistership”, but frankly I don’t have the facts, so this is just a theory.

The site contains a forum too, so there’s plenty of reasons to talk to other ludobox members about the games, or the everyday life, you’re going through. The forum is also the place to keep yourself up to date for what’s happening on the website, as the admins are making announcements there. The forum supports English and French.

For this intro article, my three chosen games to review is;

Big Truck Adventures 2
In this game you are a truck driver, and you have to deliver goods. I’m a fan of 2D games, so this fell right into my taste. You’re driving from one house to another. The challenge in this game is to keep your deliveries save. For me, the hardest ones was water and glass. The glass really put my patience to a test, as I’m a gamer, that likes fast pace and speed, and I require a feeling that I’m getting forward in the game to keep me interested. I was able to do a somersault with three trees in the back of the truck – though, I lost one of them, but I still did make it to the customer – you can lose goods, but if you lose all of it, you lose a life and have to start from the last customer. The last delivery, the basket balls, was the funniest for me, as they bounced around – at one point, 4 or 5 of the balls was flying right out of the truck, but I was able to catch them again, and only lost 2 balls at the end.
Time from start to end: about 20 minutes
Score; 9 out of 10

Stickicide 3
This game is really living up to it’s name. It’s full of blood and gore, but not quite, as you’re just playing as a stick man. Graphics isn’t this games force, but yet it’s still quite fun. Your goal is to score as much points by doing suicides with props presented in the level. You have a time limit, and the more you score, the better. I did the mistake of thinking that I had to get from point A to point B, but when the game ended with it’s time limit, I realised my mistake. There’s props like lasers, rockets, and big buzz saws, all for you to play with. It gets a little repetitive as you just have to jump into the stuff and kill yourself, but a quick playthrough once is mandatory if you like a bit of cartoonish gore.
Time from start to end: Time limit is 5 minutes
Score: 7 out of 10

Mass Attack
This is a very very simple game. You’re presented with two scales that basicly uses leverage to compare the weight in each. With a mouse click-and-hold you make new weight appear. Your job is to even out the weight – you can of course add weight to each scale, in case you get too eager on one of the scales – but you have limited numbers of weight to add to the scales. Puzzle games never fancied me, so I might be a bit harsh on the score for no reason, but basicly, I didn’t find this game fun – at all. I lost interest in about 2-3 minutes.
Time from start to end: unknown
