This is a great game. I feel it definatly lives up with todays web game standards. And unlike other games, you are not restricted to simply attacking and defending.

Review of Broken Metal

If you are into web games, this is the game for you. This new web game on the free market is easy to join and well administered. I first entered the main page to see a clear and obvious log in and account creation link, of which I clicked on and filled the form in only a few seconds. It only asks the obvious questions...Acount name, Ship name, etc... Upon creating my account and logging in imidiatly I was put into the bridge page of my account. Here on the bridge it summed up some basic statistics of my ship, including it's weight, its energy and credit consumption and a few other tid bits. From this point it was obvious what this game was about. You build a ship, managing your credits, crew and various other resources. The ship management pages include the Bridge of course, then there is Planetary Operations, Combat, Assessment, Inventory, Communications, Navagation, Star Charts, and a few others. The game play is rather simple but so detailed at the same time. The player base, with the game being up for just 3 months has already reached just under a thousand players and continues to grow every day. You accumelate turns rather quickly (1 turn every three minutes) and use these turns to navigate your ship, purchase equipment/ship upgrades, travel to unkown systems...the posibilities are practicaly endless. There is just too much in the game to describe. You'll have to experience it all for yourself. I urge you to give the game a try, you wont be disapointed.
