Crack Shot Hunter: Don’t Shoot Swans!

December 14, 2011 by Shelly Cooper

As the world’s greatest hunter, you’ve been assigned to rid the forest of excess wildlife (don’t tell PETA!). You can shoot everything except for the swans, since they’re on the endangered list. As you advance through the levels, you’ll need to shoot more and more animals, so keep your shotgun ready and your eye steady. See if you can beat my top score of 11,400. Note: See below game for instructions and tips.

Instructions: Use mouse to aim and fire; spacebar to reload once you run out of shells. Hitting the UFOs will give you extra time, a temporary machine gun, or a temporary boost in your accuracy — so try to hit those whenever you can. Your shotgun takes a moment to get ready after each shot, so take a little extra time to aim carefully.

Dawn of the Bod: Shoot Heads Off Walking Dead

December 13, 2011 by Shelly Cooper

Well, like an idiot, you decided to go target practicing in the cemetery. Now the walking dead are ticked off, and they’re after your flesh! You’ll need to shoot their heads off to stay alive. Think you can manage it? If you let them thrust their heads at you, they’ll bite! However, if you can hit their heads dead center, you’ll get some health back. Note: See below game for instructions and tips.

Instructions: Mouse to aim, fire, and reload. Be sure to reload often by pointing your cursor at the bottom of the game screen. Also, you’ll occasionally see a Bod right in front of you. Take your time and shoot it dead-center to get back some health if you’ve lost any. If you don’t hit it dead-center, you can also get some big points by keeping it bouncing with your shots — just be sure you don’t miss any other Bods that are trying to bite you. Oh, and the more bites you suffer, the shakier your aim will get.

Ammo Ambush: Enemy Assault

November 24, 2011 by Shelly Cooper

Islamic jihadists have located your sniper hideout and are advancing on your position. There’s nowhere for you to run, so the only thing left for you to do is to take out as many of them as you can before they get you. There are too many of them to use your sniper rifle, so you have to go with your machine gun, rocket launcher, and minefield. Note: See below game for instructions and tips.

Instructions: Use your mouse to aim and fire; ASDF keys to select weapons. A=gun; S=rocket; D=Minefield; F=Airstrike. Save the air strike for a time when the enemy gets too close to stop, because you’ll also die in the blast. Good hunting, soldier!

Alien Attack: Evacuate the Planet

November 23, 2011 by Shelly Cooper

You’re the gunner for your planetary base, and you’ve come under attack! It’s your job to destroy the aliens while you protect the ships escaping from the planet. Before they go after the ships, though, they’re coming after YOU! Defend your base as long as you can. Note: See below game for instructions and tips.

Instructions: Use mouse to aim and fire. The evacuation ships are heavily armored, so you don’t have to worry about destroying them with your own gun. However, if you do fire on them, you’ll lose a lot of points. The best strategy is to concentrate your fire low in the hills. Oh, and don’t wait too long to blast the aliens because they do shoot back!

Ammo Ambush 2: Sniper’s Revenge

November 20, 2011 by Shelly Cooper

It’s a miracle! Somehow you survived your last encounter with the terrorists. And now it’s time for revenge! You’ve been sent behind enemy lines, and you’re ready for some cleanup action. Grab your trusty sniper rifle and wipe out the terrorist scum before they can attack your friends and loved ones back home. Note: See below game for instructions and tips.

Instructions: Use W-A-D keys or arrow keys to move; S or down-arrow activates sniper mode. Use mouse to aim and fire. You’ll have to travel through a minefield, and the terrorists have booby-trapped their own supplies, so be careful not to get too close as you advance. Don’t rush, but keep an eye on your timer. Use trees to block enemy fire when possible (sniper mode helps with this). Don’t get too close to mines or enemy supplies, because they can blow up and hurt you. Good hunting, soldier.
