GAME TO GAME

Video games, no matter the genre, have become a popular hobby for millions of Americans and other gamers across the world. Video games have come a long way over the past couple of decades as graphics and overall game play has changed drastically. Video games can be played in the comfort of one's own home, at their friend's house, in the dorm room, in a hotel room, on a mobile phone, on an IPod, on a laptop or on a desktop computer. These games can be played on a gaming console against the computer, against a friend or family member, or against someone across the country or in another part of the world. A growing trend for video game systems these days is the ability for gamers to play games via the Internet.
Playing video games on the Internet has become widely popular because of the ability to compete with millions of different people all over the world. Being able to play these games on the Internet with a gaming system such as PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 makes it more interesting when a gamer doesn't have a friend or relative to play the game against in person. If they are looking for real life competition, all they need to do is turn on their system and log onto the Internet. The first person that responds to their challenge will be the person they play against. Most new gaming systems that allow for Internet game play also provide gamers with the ability to talk with their competition via headsets that plug into the console. Xbox 360 is especially known for this feature. The headset looks like the one you would see a fast food drive-thru worker wearing but they get the job done in the long run.
Video games can also be played on the Internet via the use of a mobile phone. They can be purchased for mobile phones or free games can be downloaded for a BlackBerry, for an iPhone, or for another other phone that has the ability to access the Internet. These games can be card games, sports games, war games, simulation games and many other genres of games that the gamer wishes to play. The IPod Touch also has the ability to access the Internet via available wireless connections. Video games can also be played through the Internet on your IPod Touch if you can access the Internet at your location.
As the popularity of video games continues to increase, more websites are popping up that offer free video games for gamers to play. These websites do not feature major games from the major gaming systems. Instead, the games are ones created by the website they are on and are markedly different from games played on a PlayStation or Xbox system. Some of these websites provide their gamers with prizes if they compete at the experienced level and play the games that are subject to prizes. One drawback of being able to access video games on the Internet is that they can be a distraction from work or school.
