Google Earth Game: Ships

PlanetInAction.com has released the first version of a fantastic free simulation game which leverages the browser-based Google Earth plugin as the primary graphics engine. The game is called 'Ships' and lets you take the helm on ships - barges, cargo ships, container ships, and even a cruise ship.


Here I am steering the Queen Mary 2 into the harbor of Rotterdam. Everything is in 3D, you can drive the ships anywhere in the world, there are sound effects, physical modeling, and realistic visual effects that makes this a wonder to behold. Not only that, but the author - Paul van Dinther - has created some great camera tools to make it easier for people to follow the action and see the sights.
