Playing games in your web-browser
Browser games are video games that are played on web browsers. It is distinctive from other video and computer game in the sense that it typically does not require any client-side software to be installed. Players only have to download and install the game’s web browser. There are also games that rely solely on client-side technologies such as JavaScript whereas some employ server-side scripting. The latter case consists typically of massively multiplayer games or merely simple two-player board games where users play against the server as a game opponent, whereas the client-side games are typically single-player games.
Basically, a game played in a browser is often called a browser-based game. Evony is an example of browser games. It is increasingly popular and players are flocking to it, as it is a free to play game that is browser based. Basically, any browser, anywhere, no download needed and no credit card needed!
Such a game is as appealing and seductive as ever as it does not demand high hand-eye coordination and can be played for a short period of time each day without having to lose out in a big way to players who wish to play solidly. It could be said that Evony Age II has achieved what few MMORTS could is due to the fact that Evony practices persistence and consistency. It is basically a persistent virtual world. The landscape does not change each time you log in, but instead, you have full control of your kingdom. Your subjects will continue their tasks even while you are away!
For best results while playing, it is still suggested to log on as often as you could to keep building up your virtual cities but this can also be conveniently done during short coffee breaks at work!
