Free Online Action Games

If you are browsing the internet and you are looking for some fun and relaxation, then you can choose to play a free online flash game. There are so many games of this kind on the internet (thousands of them) and they are also very diversified. Not only that you will always have a game to play because there are so many, but for sure you will find a game to suit with your favorite activities.

There are all sorts of games, some inspired by the real life and others fictional. Some of them are really funny and silly while others are more serious and educational. One of the most famous sites with free games is miniclip.com. The site is famous all over the world, that’s why it is available in many languages such as: English, French, German, Italian, Romanian, Chinese, Japanese and others. The site is so famous because it is offering a lot of cool games, with quite a good graphic. If you browse a little lower on the page, you will see the alphabetical list with all of the games. And as you can notice there are hundreds of games to play. If you want, you can also choose a game from these categories. Here are just some of the game categories named in the site: 3 D, action games, dancing and shows, education, girls, Halloween, kids, learning, MMO, Motorsports, multiplayer, political, puzzle, racing, sports, shooters, winter and others.

Today we are going to focus on just one of these categories, and we’ll discuss about some free online action games. A featured action game is the Obama Alien Defense. The name says it all: you will have to play with the president of the United States (Barrack Obama) and you will have to defeat the Earth from the alien invasion. Just use the arrow keys to move Obama in all the directions, and the Z key to shoot the aliens. You must also pick up weapons and coins along the way, and when you reach and raise the flag of the United States you will save your progress.

Here in this game you will see Obama like you have never seen him before, with his clothes ripped off and with a lot of muscles on him. The graphic of the game is quite nice, and both Obama and the aliens are looking interesting. Just make your way into the game and shoot all the aliens before they shoot you. As you advance you will collect more powerful weapons, but also the aliens will be stronger. When you will raise a flag you can be happy, because if you die you can start right from that flag, instead of starting the game all over again. Good luck at saving the world!

Now let’s pick another action game, for example the “Canyon defense”. In this game you will have to build an ideal defense system and save the people from the enemy attacks. There will be three maps to choose from and three difficulty levels. Just take different machines from the right side of the screen, and place them on the map…as long as you have enough money for each one. You will see the time that is left until the next attack, so you will know when to be ready with the placement of the defending canons.

If you are ready earlier, you can press the “Play” button and the enemies will attack you sooner. You will have 10 lives, and whenever an enemy reaches the other end of the map, you will loose a life. Be careful because some of the canons must be placed on the ground, and others on those dark brown edges. Place the canons in such a way so they cover as much ground as possible. If you are not happy with the placement of a canon, or you wish to place another type of canon, just sell the canons you already have, to get your money back.

You will also get money at each enemy that the canons destroy. As you advance in the game you will collect more and more canons, but also the enemies will be more numbered and stronger. They will be also more clever, and will try to move in the places that are not covered by the range of your canons. Where it says when the next attack will be, it will also let you know what type of attack it is (for example 1 tiny unit level 1, ground). The game can be really fun to play (especially after you advance a little), and it will test your strategical and military thinking. So good luck!

Let’s play one more action game from the site, and we’ll choose the “Exterme Pamplona”. This is a really fun action game, and it is inspired by the famous “races” that take place in Pamplona in Spain. This is a tradition and each year the locals of Pamplona release a few bulls on the streets, and the people taking place in the race will have to run as fast as possible and not let the bull catch them. It’s the same in this game, but there will be many other locations, not just Spain. You will start in Spain, and then you can play in Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, France, and many other countries.

Actually in this game you have to use just two keys: just hold the right arrow key all the time, to run the whole race, and the up arrow key to jump over obstacles. In the first level there will be fences, wooden boxes, or stands with fruits that will get in your way, and you will have to jump over each one, and do this fast and not let the bull catch you. The game is actually much more fun than this, and in every country there will be another “thing” running after you. For example in Germany there will be a blonde lady with beers in her hands that will try to catch you.

You will have to jump over all the obstacles (which are mostly barrels of beer) and get to the end of the level. In Great Britain there will be an English Policeman running after you, and you will run somewhere on a construction site. The game gets more difficult here, because there will be many levels that you can run on, and some of them will get you trapped. In Russia there will be a Russian warrior, with a sword and a big hat on his head, and the level will be even more difficult. The game starts, and ends in Spain, but unfortunately we weren’t able to pass the Russian level, and see how the final level is. Once you did this, please tell us how it was. Good luck! So here were some of the free online action games from miniclip.com. But of course there are many more others, and you will have a lot of fun playing them. Whenever you find another game that is really interesting please share your opinions with us. Have a nice day!
