Action Games

About action games

Action games are about quick reactions and keeping a cool head under pressure. Team shooters like Battle of the Soldiers: Red vs Blue and Soldiers - Capture and Control! are about taking and holding points, while tank and artillery games such as War Of Tanks and Artillery Vs Tanks reward careful aim. There are also arena battles like SUMO CARS 3D, space shooters and fights against monster hordes.

Many action games include shooting and combat, so parents may want to read a game's page before younger children play. The skills they train are real ones — fast visual scanning, split-second decisions and keeping track of several threats at once — and short rounds make them easy to fit into a break.
