I understand that many non gamers dont understand what drives a person to spend sixty dollars for the latest game in stores , even though those prices are considered to be so high. I wont even attempt to explain that. In my personal opinion, gamers understand. You are either a true gamer or you are not. Unfortunately, there is no middle ground on that one.



Games have become such a major main stay in young and middle aged society, that it has permeated professions. Doctors now use game like controls to perform surgeries and the military has begun using vehicles that are operated remotely based on game play. Playing games is not just for kids any more.

Just for reference, if you are old enough to remember the days when Pong was the most exciting game out, you are in the middle-aged category. Back then, people called games a phase that would die out or loose its grip on individuals as they got older and matured. Well, that turned out to be wrong.

While many will debate as to which console is best, consoles such as the Play Station 3, Xbox 360, and the Nintendo Wii are all viable options for creating fun for the whole family.

However, for those gamers that are basically chomping at the bit to compete even when they are away from home, these systems are of limited value. So, gamers are turning to the free internet based online games that are springing up all over the internet. Free online game websites cant present all of the powerful impact of the game consoles that are hitting the market, due in part to bandwidth issues but they can supply a between meal snack to stave the hunger that drives gamers to do what they do.

So, I know Ill keep doing it.
