I'm still enjoying Urban Dead and have even tiptoed into Advance Wars By Web, but here's two more web-based games, albeit of the entirely flash-based variety.
This one is just plain awesome visually. In celebration of Resident Evil 4's European PS2 release, they're running this slick flash game. If you're visiting from the future, it is probably long gone since the accompanying contest is over. As you can tell, the game is done in the style of Nintendo's classic Game And Watch LCD handhelds of the early '80s... which I remember first discovering under locked glass display case at Best many years ago. The deeper layer of amusement here is that RE4 was originally touted as a Nintendo GameCube exclusive, before Capcom got sick of the Cube's relatively low sales and found a way to cram the game into the PS2's final holiday shopping season. So seeing them obviously riff Nintendo here sort of comes off like a big middle finger. (via kotaku)
Escapa is hugely lo-fi, but worth a giggle. You click and hold the red box and keep it from touching any of the floating blue boxes. Very Degenatron. My high score was over 20 seconds, but then I got bored. (via evanier)
