Most of the people who aren’t browsing the internet for search information online or communicating with friends, probably they would get some entertainment by playing Flash games.  So let’s see some of the best and the most addictive flash games to play in 2012.

 

 

Top 10 Best Online Flash Games of 2012 are:

#1. Metal Slug Flash:

 

Metal Slug is a super-addictive game. Metal Slug Flash is a fan-made rehash of highlights from the original Metal Slug series. Metal Slug is a super-fun, fast shoot’em up moments combined with some great humor. It’s not too easy to play the flash version, its challenging enough that you will return again to play it.

#2. RoboKill:

 

Robokill is a superb game packed with some great RPG elements – compelling storyline, weapon upgrades, etc. All you need to do is invest some more time to play it to enjoy this fun top-down shooter game, but you’ll have a blast playing it. Unfortunately this game is not free to play.

#3. Alien Hominid:

It won’t be exaggeration to say that Alien Hominid is the best flash game ever created. The first game that exploded in terms of success and later made its way into a console title currently is a game for Xbox, PlayStation 2 and GameBoy. Alien Hominid is a tough game but its extremely rewarding.

#4. Bejeweled:

If you ask anyone who plays flash games frequently, which is the best puzzle game, there will be only one answer, Bejeweled. It was Tetris that hit the jackpot for puzzle games, but Bejeweled is the flash game that started the movement and is prominent even today.

Originally it was named “Diamond Mine”, as the flash game involves moving multi-colored gems. Simple game but incredibly addictive.

#5. Rayden X:

If you have played the previous installments, Rayden and Rayden 2, then I bet you will love to play Rayden x as well. All you have to do is choose a jet, collect power-ups and bang your opponents with some intense firepower. There are many flash games of the same genre of jets, but this one stands out with its colorful arcade style game play.

#6. Quake Live:

 

Have you ever heard that a flash game has created a community?? If not, then you might not be aware of Quake Live. It the only flash game developed that has created a whole community. When it was announced that Quack 3 Arena was going to be made available, there were talks about it in the crowd. If you are looking for a fun game to team up with your friends, Quake Live is the best as it offers gaming fun for months to come.

#7. Mirror’s Edge:

I will surely say that Mirror’s Edge 2D is a much better game than its $60 full retail 3D counterpart. Mirror’s Edge 2D offers some intelligent challenges that are engaging and fun to play. Online leaderboard keep the competitive spirit going on and the adrenaline rush doesn’t come to an end.

#8. Bow Man:

 

Rather than fooling around playing some senseless games, you should try out Bow Man. It’s a game set in a time when a bow and arrow was a man best friend. It challenges you to shoot your enemy by calculating the correct angle and the accurate power. Play the game and unleash the Robin Hood within you.

#9. Bubble Tanks 2:

 

This is one of the few games that you can play for hours together. It’s not like some hardcore action game, but yet it has a high addictiveness quotient. Go around as a bubble and destroy the tanks from growing; as you evolve, you build up and gain more weapons. The replay value is incredible and you will go for it again and again.

#10. Desktop Tower Defense:

 

What would you do when you are attacked by a group of creeps?? You will blow them up with your canons, of course. If you are a fan of tower defense games then this game will be one of your favorites. Take down your enemies with cleverly placed turrets and defense mechanisms.
