There are only a few games that include a global multiplayer option, namely colony.

I'm not sure about this, but I'm fairly certain that programming a server into a game takes a large amount of effort and time. Which is probably why most game developers would rather not inculude multiplayer options.

Only a few games here are multiplayer. But, AG is in the works on making more. So keep your eyes out for them =)

You mean you know that there are more multiplayer games coming our way, Carlie? SWEET.

.: Multiplayer games takes lots of time to make. Naturally, the multiplayer games are more detailed and have more "stuff" in them in order for the players to be happy about playing them with others. However, the extra "multiplayer" part takes more time and effort to crack in. :.

.: Multiplayer games mean more than one person playing at once. That means it requires a server between the two players to work correctly. A server means money to run it constantly. So the developer has to run the server with his/her own money to make sure the server is working to make the player (you) happy. This may take the form of ads. Ads may run the game constantly throughout the day. It's either this or pay-to-play, requiring the player (also you) to fork over your own money to play. I like the former, so developers put ads over their server so that it can be paid by itself (hopefully). .:


So, with all the bad things involved, multiplayer games are pretty shweet, and I hope that there are many more coming this year. We have yet to have a multiplayer RPG adventure game here, so I'm crossing my fingers for that. HHHHNNNGH!

Yep, it is multiplayer. And you guys forgot Platform Racing 2.

It could be Sonny 3. =)

Other than that, Raze 2 could be coming out with multiplayer. But that's years from now. Since Raze 1 just came out a couple weeks ago.

If you just put start, all programs, games youll find some basic games like hearts that can be played online, no chatting, no control

The BEST thing about armor games is that they are pretty simple to play, always new GREAT ideas

But as vinster said, Raze would be so nice in multiplayer, or at least 1v1 games like warlords, or sony

Thx for the replies guys, and ill go try colony asap !

Lol those are Microsoft games. AG uploads flash games made by developers of all kinds with original concepts and ideas. Uploading Microsoft-made games would be...I don't know....static and average.
