Evading Lasers At Warp Speed: Online Space Shooter Games

By Amy X. Pruitt


The Internet provides many conveniences to modern society, especially recreational pastimes such as online space shooter games, created with fun in mind. These games are free for the public to operate, unless controlled by a private server, allowing individuals to take their frustrations out by killing aliens. Yet, Martians are just one of countless topics presented to players; almost any mission imaginable can be found.

Games overall encompass a large variety of styles; flash games and massive multiplayer online games, including role playing games, are the most prevalent types. The sites that contain these games can manage thousands and thousands of participants at the same time, also allowing them to work together. State of the art graphics and enhanced visuals enable the participants to view nebulas and galaxies like they never have before. Music and audio capabilities have matured as well, coordinating with certain actions in each level or different areas of engagement.

Online science fiction games are perfect for alien hunters looking to blast off and land onto graphic-pixelated rings of another planet. Story adventures are one option, for those who like to follow a plot and have a main obstruction to overcome in the end for victory- perhaps a shootout with an evil spaceship before becoming consumed by a black hole. Less intricate games also exist, such as simple target games where players must shoot to kill random items, such as mobilized space ships or alien invaders; this style presents a short and sweet game with no further impediments. One more variation is blowing up planets in a galaxy- perhaps in certain orders or as fast as possible to win.

Some shooting games are classics and will forever come to mind when certain subjects, like movies or specific guns and cannons, are mentioned. Original concepts are classics now days, such as the lone space ship equipped with a laser to defeat mobilized alien forces; movie themed games also have a classical potential, especially if designed after a successful movie. Further allure can be supplemented to such games by including the famous voice cameos for their matching characters.

Sci fi and more out of this world influences enhance the styles of online space shooter games. Plots and storylines for these games are as limitless as the galaxies and stars are that they integrate. Combatants can go one on one in a game perfectly suited to their preferences; most begin by choosing the gender, role, and team to wage war against, whether they choose to be for the good guys or the bad. Beginners and veterans alike take part daily in the exciting activities online space shooter games have to offer.
