What’s the Story?

Reviewed byDana Cotter
Kids can play a limited amount of games on this site -- most of which are violent. Some are more tame with fish eating smaller fish, for example, or a look alike of our old friend asteroids (Pixel Blaster). There are a few innocent ones: Mini-Putt for golf practice or Marbles that navigate through a maze trying not to bump into barriers. Then there's the brainteaser Stackopolis, where players race the clock to match a computer-generated pattern. The site is a Google Ad extravaganza. The ads are not only on each side of the gameplay screen, they're also cleverly disguised as links to more games. Banner ads also accompany pages throughout the site.

Is It Any Good?

What REALGAMES.COM lacks in quantity, it sure doesn't make up for it in violence. Gunmaster, ALIAS: Artificial Lifeform Intended for Assassination and Sabotage, Tailspin, Heli Attack…you get the idea. The graphics are old-school and on a small screen though, so even though the gore is there, it's not depicted in a realistic style. However, these games do include players holding shooting weapons, controlling vehicles that destroy things or people, and use of fists to plummet people (with multiple blood squirts for extra effect).
