Game Link: Snowball Fights with Penguins

Penguin Arena is a multiplayer FPS in which 4 clans of penguins fight for the ownership of ice floats. The game is fast paced and action-packed, containing nothing more than simple multiplayer king of the hill scenarios. The audiovisual outlook of the game is comic and stylish and fits well with the style of the gameplay. The game is available both on Windows and Mac machines.

I’m not a great fan or consumer of FPS games. Counterstrike or Enemy Territory armies do not lanquish without me as my survival rate is that of a blitzing infantry man in World War I (I average about 15 seconds of survival time). But after a quick adjustment period Penguins Arena seemed like a good way to kill time. Could this be a multiplayer FPS game for those that are not drawn towards the earlier prominent games of this genre? The presentation and the style of the game clearly hint that the target player is more a fan of Mario and Bejeweled than a Counterstrike fanatic.

The game is available both on Mac and Windows. The demo version is available on the web page of the game’s developer Frogames. The cost of the full version is $19.95.
