Click to strike. Click in the lower area to defend your wicket. Click higher up to attack the ball.

One of the most looked-forward-to cricketing events of the year is the championship between the best leagues across cricket-playing countries. At TheGameBox, you can now play your favourite team against a team of your choice!

Select your favourite team. When batting, use arrow keys to position your batsman. Once the bowler delivers, left-click to bat in of delivery. Use space bar for next delivery and run between wickets. When bowling, use arrow keys to select type of ball. Use space bar to bowl when accuracy meter hits the red mark.

This is going to be one hell of a fight to the finish. Terrorists, Counter-terrorists, Zombies – they’ve all assembled and taken their positions in alleys with their guns loaded, their bombs ticking away and their daggers sharpened. One wrong move, and boy! You pay with your god damn life.

TheGameBox is proud to bring Critical Strike Portable, a Cross-platform 3D FPS MMO (3 Dimensional, first person shooter, massively multiplayer online) game.  Here’s a quick guide to help you get on with the game:

CRITICAL STRIKE PORTABLE – MODES:

Classic Mode:

It’s your team versus the opponent’s.  Whichever team wipes out the opponent’s team, wins hands down.

There’s another way to win – play CTs (counter-terrorists), rescue all hostages and bring them to safety.  OR You can play Ts (terrorists) and plant bombs. The plus side in this is that you win as long as the bomb is still active; even if you remain the single living member in your team.

Team Death Match:

If you’re a casual player who just wants to get into action and fight, then this one will suit you best. Join a team and eliminate members of the opponent’s.

Zombie Mode:

A player gets selected to become a zombie so that he can infect the others. He starts off with 2,000 HP and regenerates some more to infect the rest rapidly for a short period of time. On infecting another, he turns the other player into a zombie too!

If you’re playing a human, you have but one objective: ELIMINATE ZOMBIES.

Zombie Match:

This mode is like Team Death Match. However, zombies are added to both teams. They will aid you in fight.

Survival Mode:

This mode assumes every player who enters a game as a Counter Terrorist. Survive as long as you can and fight zombies, NPC terrorists and kamikazes.

Death Match:

Fight every player who enters the game. This mode has no team system.

Juggernaut:

The Juggernaut has extra health and speed. The host is the first juggernaut by default. Everybody must try and kill the Juggernaut – the person who succeeds, becomes the new Juggernaut.

CRITICAL STRIKE PORTABLE – STRATEGIES

Camping

This a basic strategy and it’s the easiest to learn. Find a good hiding spot and shoot at your enemy!

Zig-zagging

Move left and right as you fire back at your enemy. If you don’t have a good weapon on you, zig-zag your way to a hiding spot.

Assassinate

Attack your enemy from behind. But use this strategy at your own risk!

Injury Spying

A black dot on your radar indicates that one of your team mates has been injured. This helps to gauge where your enemy might be at.

Ghostly Spying

Even if you’re dead, you can spy on other players… even if they’re hiding. Ambush them as soon as you respawn!

Third-Person Spying

The most effective strategy! Press ‘C’ and change to third-person point of view. You can look around without having to worry about being spotted. Eventually an enemy comes around and you can attack!

Secret Places

Hide from a less used spot and attack enemies from there. Note that these places are extremely risky!

Camouflage

You can use a skin that resembles colors from the map. Click on the ‘Account’ button on the top-right. Click on ‘View Profile’ and select ‘Choose CT/T skin.’ This does not work if your entire body is covered.

Aerial Ambush

If you’re at an elevated spot, are unable to shoot at your enemy and might want to risk attacking – jump down and attack from behind. Beware! You might lose some of your HP depending on the height you jump from.

Blind Wall Shooting

If an enemy is hiding behind a wall and you are unable to see him, shoot at the wall with an estimate of where the enemy is hiding. The enemy will take the damage and not know who the attacker is. However, for this strategy to work, shooting through walls must be enabled and the wall ought to not be too thick.

Deception

Once you kill someone, wait for a few seconds for the camera to go away. Move to a camping spot nearby and then ambush your enemy!

See you there!

Can you hear the growls? Can you smell the stale blood? Did you just hear that scratching sound on your door…?

The zombies have taken over and we’re not one to cow down. Pull them out ammos and fire into the night away. Leave no Zombie undead.

TheGameBox presents thrilling Zombie Games all this week. We have TWO brand new games – Zombie Die Hard and Zombie Destruction along with the bloodcurdling Dead Zed, Bloody Sunset and many more!

There! Sounds like a deadly gang is knocking your door down. Are you still reading this?
