Free Space game, HTML game (browser based game)
This game is pretty cool, its located at Ogame.org. You start off as a small colony on a distant planet in a galaxy… Far Far Away, well–Haha! You start with a planet anyways, not far from too much but this game is pretty cool you harvest resources to maintain your planets advancement. The resources harvested are Metal, Crystal, Deuterium and Dark matter. As you begin to grow you empire you create shipyards and begin to amass a fleet to conquer the Galaxy you started in, This game is much like others I have played in the web based genre but I have yet to run into hostile forces, maybe I am just lucky or these players are more Civilized and not ready to crack the noobs into the ground unless they talk some smack. There is no downloads required to play this game and its pretty easy to get into and spend a few minutes a day upgrading you troops and buildings. Anyways, if your a fan of MOO3, or any of the master of orion series, this game is worth a look. This game eventually allows you to purchase leaders much like MOO did also you can form alliances. The only difference I see right now is that there are no racial bonuses for colonies, but I suspect as the game progresses that these will become available.
