I'm not sure whether this has already been posted or whether I had it ready to post, but lost it. I've still to finish off catching up with G@rgoyles synopsis. I had several pages of codded games ready to add to the synopsis, but have misplaced them.
As for todays game, its a russian made manic shooter, with very simple graphics, but a load of fun. you'll probably have a sore trigger finger when you've played this one. Ideal for those mid morning coffee breaks or as a change from those big bucks games like Battlefield Bad Company 2, Call of Duty Modern Earfare 2, Dragonquest, Grand Thefdt Auto etc. The main menu is in Russian, but Caiman have kindly posted some translations so that you can set the game up. Once you're in game there's no language barrier. :)
Modern War 2: The Red Star (3.5Mb)
Hundreds, no, THOUSANDS of soldiers are attacking your base. Soldiers here, soldiers there, soldiers everywhere! Foot-soldiers, full-tracks, cavalrymen, planes, parachutists, etc. It never stops! Just shoot them down, shoot them ALL down!!! It's war! Don't let them take over your base. Fight till your last man!
The first time I played this game I thought that I was fighting against the Zulu's. The more enemies you kill, the more new ones will appear. But don't worry, if you can stand long enough, they will give up and you will win the big battle.
Not only you can shoot them (with the left mouse), but you can buy items too. Right mouse click will open a nice menu, and you can choose what you want to buy. You have a choice of soldiers, a tank, a plane or even a meteor storm.
In this game you have to try to get a high score. The more you kill, the more points you get. But if you buy an item, you will lose some points. It is your choice.

Here’s what users over at Acidplay said about the game:
• I really like this game and think it was definitely worth the download and whatever play time I put into it.. and I love seeing that mass pants wetting at the end as the opposing army runs away! The ability to lob tank shells on the enemy troops, recruit troops to mow them down, call in air strikes, meteor showers and NUKES (BOOYAAAAAH!) adds strategy to the mix to make one heck of a bloody but tasty cooky. By Freakflesh Score 8• The first thing I noticed when I started the game was its simplicity. Point and click. I thought, bah, I'm gonna uninstall this. Then I noticed a horde of soldiers, rushing towards my base. I just couldn't click fast enough! It's very addictive. Try the harder difficulty levels! By Wargamer Score 10
• There are loads of games like this made in flash, but what makes 'em all good is they tend to have a certain catch to them, this one the catch is the overwhelming numbers. I mean dang that's a LOT of soldiers (not to mention it's funny to see them wet themselves in fear). By Dragonspawn score 8
