This would generate greater revenue for the government but also make the gaming industry much more transparent, with a higher emphasis on responsible self-regulation. However it looks like … [Read more...]

Diep.io: Far More Than a Clone
Agar.io, Slither.io, Vanar.io—I’ve played them all. These eat-or-be-eaten multiplayer games offer fast, casual fun with the potential for severe addiction. Some are better than others, and after extensive playing time with each one, I’ve found my favorite: Diep.io. Assuming you haven’t heard of Diep.io (maybe you missed the initial “.io game” craze), it’s essentially a multiplayer tank war. The graphics are barebones, the animations are smooth, and even with thousands of players in the same arena, there is no lag. … [Read more...]
The Popularity of Mobile Gambling Continues to Grow
Believe it or not but mobile was slower to take off in the gambling sector than many had predicted as many of the early gaming apps delivered very little in the way of unique usability or brand identity. The Choice was poor and let’s face it the experience of playing on your mobile was pretty awful, no wonder that there were no great numbers rushing to play on their phones or tablets. Mobile gambling was tipped to take off several times over the past decade but it wasn't really until the launch of the iPhone back in … [Read more...]

Put on your war uniform, and let’s take a deeper look into in the extremely competitive Diep.io. If you think the name of the game sounds familiar, that’s because it is.

What’s Up With All These .io Games?
The .io games have recently become huge hits. The 3 most popular ones in the series are Agar.io (the game that started it all!), Slither.io (the Snake version), and Diep.io (the Tank Version). Of course, it’d be best to start off with the game that started it all, i.e. Agar.io. This is the original one, and as such it is the most “raw” of all of them. The game (just as the others) is played online against other players. For Agar.io, each player gets a little circle that they control and move around the map eating … [Read more...]
The Vex Series
Most browser games are easy. If you are looking for a challenge, most browsers games will seem pointless. Enter the Vex games. The Vex series feels like it was created to destroy any gamer’s patience, as these games are HARD. Yet at the same time these games are so good that losing your patience with them is well worth it! The 3 games (Vex, Vex 2, and Vex 3) have the same gameplay and controls, but each game adds in a little more quirks than the previous one, making it more challenging and more interesting. They look … [Read more...]
