YouTube is known by all as the video site par excellence. In the last year, thanks to the imagination of some people, interactive videos, built on multiple choice videos, clickable with the mouse, have had great success.
It is therefore interactive videos, where the viewer can intervene with their own choices.
Technically they are based on links in the annotations of the uploaded video which, when clicked, bring the playback forward or backward or make the player navigate on another video.
YouTube games are progressively improving and Google itself is testing to prepare a section of online games within YouTube.
So let's see the best online games on Youtube .
1) NetWork A is an interactive video where skateboarding professionals show off their stunts.
Interactivity lies in the possibility of choosing to watch over 800 actions, making choices during the video.
2) The interactive videos start to be many on YouTube and, among these, there is also something in Italian .
For example, the Trust No One adventure is a series of videos, each of which ends up facing the viewer with a choice between two possibilities, one right and one wrong.
3) Also in Italian there is also the game Accept the Challenge lasting 30 minutes, in which, watching every video, you have to notice the clues and you have to make the right choice to go on until you solve the intrigue.
4) The Birthday Party is an interactive adventure in English that looks like a real movie, with three guys who have to get to a party without dying.
Although it may be difficult to understand the dialogues in English, the game can be done anyway.
If English doesn't scare you and if you like this multiple choice video, the same authors have a Youtube channel with many other interactive adventures.
5) Heavy Rain is the interactive video for the promotion of the PS3 game of the same name.
This is also a multiple choice movie, where, in addition, you have to press certain keys that appear during playback.
This game is really well done and, although in English, it is worth playing.
6) Always the multiple choice the nice couple game where she has to choose how to deal with her husband's advances.
7) Deliver me to hell where you have to save the protagonist against the zombies, making the right choices.
If they like the genre, they can recommend playing with interactive movies where the plot changes according to the choices .
8) Very simple games based on video switching based on where you click, are:
Interactive Card Trick which is a magic trick where, after choosing a card, the magician finds out what it is.
Interactive Shell Game is the game of the three glasses, and you have to follow the movements and, in the end, tell which glass the ball is hiding under.
9) On Youtube there are also games of reflexes and memory such as, for example, Car's Life with 8 levels, where each level is a different video.
Starting here the first level, you have to wait for a button with "Click Here" written on the video.
It is therefore a game of reflexes because the button to press to avoid the obstacle appears only for a short time and, going forward for the levels, always for a shorter time and in a different position on the video.
When you pass a level, the video stops and another internet page opens with the next step; if you fail, the video continues and you will see the car crash.
10) Bboy Joker is a really imaginative and almost crazy idea.
It is a breakdance competition between Batman and Joker, where you have to perform the same movements as the other dancer, choosing the right key composition.
The same author also made the Street Fighter game on YouTube which is not exactly the best but it is worth seeing.
You can even play a shooter
11) Super Mario Slots is instead a slot machine where you have to line up the pieces of the same figure.
12) Howard Glitch is a multiple choice Youtube game.
13) Among the funniest interactive videos there are those for playing the piano or guitar on Youtube, by pressing the keys of a piano and reproducing the sound of the note played.
Thanks to a mode that I would call Stop And Go, after uploading the entire video, you can really play any song freely.
14) To play and watch the video and flash game Watch Primeval where you have to shoot the dinosaurs with your mouse.
If you like interactive videos, I remember a program that makes it possible to move objects within the video with the mouse: DimP - A Direct Manipulation Video Player .
So, as the world of online gaming entered YouTube, I can imagine that this could also happen in the future on TV and in movies.
it would be nice if, in the cinema, the audience could decide, by vote, how to continue a story, right?
