Need to Practice That Parallel Parking? Play Parking Games Online

Parallel parking is something that can stress out even the most confident and experienced driver. You need quick reflexes and a keen eye to park your car tightly up against the curb without running over it, and in between two parked cars without hitting them. Well if you think that your parallel parking could use a little practice, why not play parking games online for a less stressful alternative? This genre of gaming is fun and can be very challenging. It requires fast reflexes, good keyboarding skills, excellent hand-eye coordination and a good sense of timing.

There are a huge variety of these types of games available for play. You can select almost any kind of vehicle in any type of setting that you could possibly think of. If you play parking games online, you may choose to select a game that focus solely on parking. In these games, you are assigned a car or some other vehicle, and your job is to park it as well as possible, without damaging the car, or the objects surrounding it. For instance, you may be assigned to park in a grocery store parking lot, where there are carts, pedestrians and other cars around. You lose points for hitting or bumping against objects in the lot. You are playing against a clock, so the aim is to collect the most points in the shortest amount of time, with the least amount of damage to your vehicle.
There are other ways to play parking games online too. Some of the games focus as much on the driving as the parking. There are games which feature emergency vehicles like police cars or fire trucks. In these games, you must drive through the city streets, and then pull up to a scene and park. Again, you must do this without hitting any of the obstacles you encounter along the way. The streets are quite narrow and your hand-eye coordination must be excellent to escape the scenario with limited damage.
You can play parking games online that do not even involve cars too! Some of these games use completely different types of vehicles. Sure, there are tow trucks, monster trucks and double decker buses, but there are also sailboats, yachts, and motorcycles to park. There are also helicopter and airplane parking games available, and even space craft parking games! Some of the parking games use specialized settings like the city, or different time periods to make the game more interesting for players.
You can have a lot of fun if you play parking games online. Just like with that tricky parallel parking issue, you can improve your skill by playing them more often. After all, practice makes perfect! The more you play these games, the better you will get at them. You will develop more control over the arrow keys on your computer which drive most of the action in the majority of the games. Your reflexes will quicken and your hand eye coordination will improve. Who knows? If you play enough, perhaps your parallel parking actually will improve!

Fun MMO Games to Play For Free

If you are keen enough to observe the transition of gaming, then you may have noticed that back then we enjoyed playing Tetris with some cheap mobile gadgets. Next we tried out simple Gameboys and enjoyed playing Super Mario, which is one of the biggest selling games of all time. Then we moved on to more complex consoles with immersive worlds in platforms like the PlayStation 2 and the PlayStation 3. Later, we soon discovered the diverse advantages of playing on the go with the Nintendo DS, 3DS, PlayStation Portable and the PlayStation Vita. But little did we know that in the background, millions of people have already become familiarized with another type of genre called Free-to-Play.
PC and the next generation PlayStation 4 and Xbox One seem to be touting free online games and free-to-play games as having a bright future. So if you haven't tried them, now is the time. If you're new to this, an MMORPG, completely known as Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, is an online phenomenon that attracts people to immersive worlds and social experiences not very often found in other genres. It is an addictive genre because you tend to play a role or a character that sets onward into a quest or a series of missions that involves strategy, intelligence, and power or gear upgrading. The best part is more people love to play online games today because there are many free MMORPGs and MMOs being offered online for those who simply have a decent internet connection, a PC or console, and the software requirements.
Although a lot of these games are free there are some optional choices wherein you purchase something for the quick advancement of your character. Here are some of the free online games that you will surely love. There's a good chance that the games below include names that you may have heard before but never tried.
First on the roster is Requiem. Most especially for those who want to receive a dose of horror, Requiem is the game for you. This is a free MMORPG that is more mature in nature. In this sense it showcases themes that include killing and gore. You will definitely enjoy this free online game because it offers some fun to play quests, good dialogue and a friendly interface. If you are fond of seeing blood, then Requiem has tons of it. It also has a unique DNA system that customizes the progress or growth of the role you are playing.
Another popular online game, specifically in the US, is Mabinogi. It is a Celtic fantasy type of MMORPG that offers its online players the well-deserved dose of fun and excitement. What makes Mabinogi different from other free MMORPG is that it is a rather simple game. Because of its simplicity, you can easily direct your character into your desired job or avatar skill advancement hence giving you better control of the game.
If you loved playing the game Final Fantasy, then you can also enjoy the MMORPG Atlantica. This is a special type of free online game because you play your characters in a turn based strategy fashion. Like the Final Fantasy series, Atlantica has very good graphics and offers its players a wealth of features including a player versus player option. You can instantly fight anyone you choose wherever they are.
There also is the popular free MMORPG RF Online. This online extravaganza makes you experience as if you are fighting epic battles of great proportions. It is an MMORPG that leans on Science Fiction wherein you can choose what faction you want to play out of the three being offered. When you play RF Online, you will realize that your character's skills improve with practice.
Lastly if you haven't had a chance to check out the free-to-play PlayStation 3 and PC title DC Universe Online, you should definitely take the time to play it. For fans of the DC Universe, this is a game that presents the opportunity for players to live out the fantasy of creating their own superhero and interacting with your favorite heroes and villains like Batman, Superman, The Joker, and Lex Luther. DC Universe Online provides fast and fun real-time combat, highly customizable characters, and familiar environments from the DC Universe to play in. It's also one of the best MMO console experiences this generation.
In the near future with the release of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, console gamers will be treated to a new level of immersion and online experiences with games like Diablo 3, Elder Scrolls Online, Battlefield 4, and more. But there is also a push for free-to-play experiences with games like PlanetSide 2, Warframe, Blacklight: Retribution all coming to the PlayStation 4 and the free-to-play hit World of Tanks coming to the Xbox 360. Just to leave you with something that might not be a well-known fact at this point, there is no PlayStation Plus Paywall keeping you from playing free-to-play games. So you don't need PS Plus to play these games online on the PlayStation 4 in the future. That's a very good thing.
