Online Gaming, it is fun, it is addictive and it is a thing of the future. Whatever your genre of game is, however long you play games for, it is now all on the net. Each online game is as significant as the next, they are full of surprises; things that you will never expect. The best thing about online gaming is that you get to interact with friends and even people you’ve never met before. With online games you get to test your skills against the greatest of players, on the multiplayer game of your choosing, whether it be Unreal Tournament or Quake 3 Arena, whatever it is, be prepared for the battle of your life.
Now there are games already on the net, ready you to play, an example of this is Planetarion, you just sign up, and you are ready to play. Ok this game is primitive, you don’t get to see your ships battling, or your enemies, but you do get to interact with thousands of people. But now there is something newer, a simple download, and you have got a brand new RPG, which you can play over the net, the name of this game is “The Legend of Mir”. Still the graphics are primitive and the game is not the best around, but it makes the future of online gaming positive
If there are games like “The Legend of Mir” playable over the net quickly, free and fun, then imagine what the future will be like. Games like Phantasy star online, are some of the most playable games around, you get to interact and have fun, but they do come at a price. Games like this are fun for everyone, but they do cost us a lot of money to play on our Dreamcasts, but they are worth it.
So soon hopefully we will be playing games like Phantasy star Online on our PC’s for free, because the future is getting closer, and hopefully it will be all that.
Talking about the future, Consoles they are just getting better and better, but why?? Why do they need to get better?? The only things it does to games is improve the graphics, which are good enough as they are, don’t you think. With the arrival of the GameCube and the Xbox coming closer, you start thinking, what will be next??? Well Sony have already released information on the Playstation 3, and they have given examples of it’s power, well it does seem unbelievable. It is supposedly has the power of 13 PS2’s stuck together, what power!!! This console however won’t be released for at least another 5 years, but is this long enough???
All Sony are trying to do now is take more money out of our rapidly hollowing pockets, by releasing a console boasts such tremendous power that all it does is improve the Graphics, do we need this??? I don’t think so.
Thanx for reading
