It doesn’t require extreme visuals, high end graphics, aggressive monsters, blood pool, quality animations, combat moves to make a game successful. The best example is Pocket Tanks!

Pocket Tanks is created by Bitwise Productions for Windows and MAC OS.

The game can be a single or double player. With huge support from gamers world wide Bitwise Productions have added a feature to play via LAN or IP in the third version of the game.

The games objective is to win a one-on-one combat with the enemy tank with the weapons available. This may be tagged as a strategic game and it doesn’t merely involves aiming and shooting. It involves predicting the moves of the opponent, randomizing his angle and power, moving randomly to disrupt his aim, dirt creation and removal.

The game is equipped with fantastic weapon packs which makes it a very interesting one. Not all the weapons are used for attack. There are weapons for defense such as shelter, great wall, magic wall and flak. The latest weapon pack includes more than 200 weapons.

Each weapon has its own plus and minus. Some may backfire on you. Choosing the weapons in the right order and in the right positions is the key to win. Attacking the opponent earns points. After 20 shots(10 each) the player with the highest point wins. The timely use of defensive weapons once a stable scored is reached permits easy win. Unlike humans the computer AI uses the powerful weapons that yield greater points in the beginning and switches to defensive ones at the end.

The game’s collector edition is very cheaper to buy and it contains the actual deluxe version along with the expansion packs. Recently the game has been released for Apple’s iPod and iPhone and continues to amuse the gamers.
