What is the difference between an Ork and a Human?
An Ork (also spelled Orc) is a mythical creature. At OrkGames.com when you sign up/register you become an Ork! Don't worry though, you won't turn green or anything! Those who aren't signed up are Humans and they come to play the Ork's games!
Orks love to play games too, but they have certain abilities that Humans don't have, such as the ability to submit games, guides, cheats and previews, comment on games, gain Ork Levels (additional voting power), and more! They even get their own customizable
Ork Profile page - cool!
The Orks at OrkGames.com are
friendly Orks! So remember to be always be friendly, play games, join in on the fun - the Ork community!
So why be a Human when you can
Become an Ork for free!
When is the next Ork Day?
The next Ork Day starts in 9 hours!
How is game popularity calculated?
Each game will show either a
,
or
icon. They each represent the current popularity of the game which is calculated based on last weeks total plays compared to this weeks total plays (including today). It is specifically calculated based on the previous 7 days (which was 14 days ago) and the last 7 days - which is often why when you visit a game the popularity could change because each (first per person per day) visit to a games page counts as a "play".
What are Ork Levels?
Every Ork has a specific amount of Ork Experience. The amount of Ork Experience you have will determine your Ork Level. The higher your Ork Level the better. For one thing your Ork Level acts as a multiplier when voting on games. If you give a game 10/10 and your Ork Level is 0 or 1, then the game receives 10/10. However, if your Ork Level is 3 then that game would receive 3 times 10/10 votes (30/10)! Since you can vote on your own games and friends games, this is a massive benefit as you can then greatly influence which games have the top ratings. In addition your Ork Level may bring you a certain level of respect amongst the other Orks - because the higher your level is, the more active you must be!
Oh yeh, and the higher your Ork Level the more
Ork Coins you'll earn!
