Kiekko, translated into English means "puck", the equivalent to a football in Ice Hockey.Quote:
Both of these games are 2D, sports games, with other people, also playing online at the same time.
http://Kiekko.tk has been around since late 2004. There are over 50,000 registered members, 276 of them being from the UK. The main game server is based in Finland, Helsinki, and most of the players who play this game are Finnish.
It's kind of hard to explain how you play, but there are instructions and it is quite easy to pick up as you go.

Futis, translated into English means "football".Quote:
Hockey.tk is a multiplayer ice-hockey game. You need nothing more than a web browser with Java support to play. Each player except goalkeepers is human-controlled; one person controls just one player.
http://Kiekko.tk/futis (or http://soccer.kiekko.tk) has been around since 2007, and is still in early development stages. There are around 5000 registered members, again most of them from Finland, with just under 500 registered players from the UK.
Again, it is hard to explain the controls of the game, but there are instructions for this also, and this game is easier to pick up than the Ice Hockey version, due to the pace of the game being slower.
To see parts of a live match or highlights of a match played earlier you can go to: http://soccer.kiekko.tk/kiekkotv2.html (these highlights are in 3D but the game itself is in 2D due to how difficult the game is to play in 3D)
