3D games

As soon as you have a few minutes of free time, do you like to relax your nerves with the Flash games that are found around the Net? Then I bet that you often find yourself faced with simple video games, too simple, characterized by gameplay that leave something to be desired and with a poorly maintained graphic sector.

How about changing your registry and trying 3D action, combat and sports games to start directly in your browser at no cost? Believe it or not, there are so many to try, one more beautiful than the other. But let’s go in order.

Before discovering some of the best 3D gaming sites you need to install a couple of free plugins that will allow you to play these games directly in your favorite web browser: Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer.

The first is called Unity Web Player and you can download it to your PC simply by connecting to its official website and clicking on the Download button . Next, open the UnityWebPlayer.exe file you just downloaded and click first on I agree and then on Finish to complete the setup.

The other add-on you may need is Shockwave Player which you can download to your PC simply by connecting to the Adobe website and clicking the Download Now button . When the download is complete, double-click on it to open the Shockwave_Installer_Slim.exe file and, in the window that opens, click on the Yes button .

Therefore remove the check mark from the item relating to the Google Toolbar (in order not to install additional toolbars in Internet Explorer) and click first on Next and then on Finish to finalize the Shockwave installation process.

Now let’s move on to the sites with 3D games that I recommend you visit. The first is 85Play which has a huge catalog of Unity-based 3D video games divided into various categories. All you have to do to play is connect to its main page and select a genre from the left sidebar, under the heading Unity 3D Games . There are shooters ( Shooting games ), motorsport titles ( Racing & car games ), sports games ( Sports games ), strategic ( Strategy war games ) and many other types of video games.

After selecting one of the categories above, click on the image of the game you want to try and wait a few moments for it to load directly in the browser. If you are asked for permission to launch the Unity plugin, accept by clicking on the Run button . Easier than that?

Even the Online 3D Games site , as the name suggests quite easily, includes a large series of games with 3D graphics that can be played directly online. Most are based on Unity but there are also some that require Shockwave Player and others that require the “classic” Flash Player.

Once connected to the home page of the site, use the sliding menu located at the top of the screen to select one of the genres of games available: Car games for car games , Shooting games for shooters, Action games for action titles and etc. Then click on the preview image of the game you want to start and wait for it to load.

Even the “generalist” videogame sites include free 3D games like the ones just seen together, but unfortunately they are not well divided into categories. Y8 , for example, has a very large catalog of games with 3D graphics but which includes a bit of everything: action games, shooters, sports titles and so on.

The same goes for the very popular Kongregate which collects all 3D video games in the generic 3D games section . In both sites, to start playing just click on the preview image of the title you want to play. Only on Kongregate, if you want to play multiplayer titles you have to create a free account on the site by clicking on the Register item located at the top of the screen and filling out the form that is proposed to you.
