What can you use the app for?

ShockArcade is a collection of web and mobile based games. The website lists featured games on the homepage along with categories for exclusive games, hacks, iPhone games, online Flash games, tower defense games and upcoming games. The user can search for specific titles or browse the collection by category. Each game is presented with a star rating, posted date and a description. The use can click the game title to access its page. Each page provides the user with sharing tools for Google Plus and Facebook as well as the actual game. Users can browse a list of titles by the same developer as well as recommendations made by the site. Games are also assigned tags to help users find entertainment that matches their genre and style preferences.

What is the history and popularity of the app?

ShockArcade was created to provide users with access to a few web based games and hacks for games. The application has received little attention on the internet. Some of the games featured on the site have been mentioned in a positive light, but the site itself has received little recognition. It is really nothing more than a place to find a few web based games and hacked versions of games.

What are the differences to other apps?

ShockArcade provides users with a decent list of web based games. There are a number of similar websites available as well. ShockArcade doesn’t offer anything new and exciting in the realm of web based gaming. The main draw will be the titles featured on the site. Aside from a few third party social network sharing tools, the user will find little of interest on ShockArcade. Most only come to play the games, which are also available elsewhere.

How does the web app look and feel to use?

ShockArcade has plenty of personality in its design, which somewhat makes up for its lack of functions (although not by much). The user is greeted by a unique hand drawn style logo and dark color scheme. The dark coloration works very well with the colorful game screenshots and title images. The site provides users with a basic overview of each game, which is very easy to navigate and contains a few interesting bits of information.

How does the registration process work?

ShockArcade does not offer any kind of registration option to its users. A registration option would make the site more appealing because it would give the users a place to build a profile and possibly track gameplay. Leaderboards would also be an attractive feature. Any internet user can stop by the site and choose a game to play any time they want. There are no limitations and no information required to access each game title.

What does it cost to use the application?

ShockArcade is available to all users for free. There are no subscription fees, and really there shouldn’t be. The site offers users access to a handful of free web based games and little else. Games include a summary and star rating, which can help the user decide which games to try. Beyond that, there is little on the site to interest a user or encourage them to return or share the site with others.

Who would you recommend the application to?

ShockArcade offers a few interesting web based game titles to users. It is an ideal option for anyone who loves playing browser based games and is looking for a quick fix. Users can kill a few minutes or a few hours on the site, provided they enjoy the genre of games listed on ShockArcade. Those who follow tower defense games will find even more ways to stay entertained on the site.
