Online gaming vs the good old times
Online gaming has been around since the dawn of man, well since the start of the internet anyway, and what better way to relax than to load up the computer and get stuck into a good old shoot em up or play a round of cyber golf.
But is it all that it is cracked up to be or would we be better off with good old fashioned chess sets and Monopoly boards?
Now I’m sure many you new age games players will tell me - you can play chess and Monopoly online as well now. I understand that, but the question is; are these versions (along with cards, backgammon etc) better than the old fashioned real life ones?
It is obviously down to personal preference, and call me old fashioned but i prefer to get around the table with my friends and family and feel the cards in my hand, or roll the dice and count up my armies (Risk).
But I cannot deny that the way things are moving this will probably become a thing of the past.
Now obviously there are many thousands of online games that are new and exciting and have been a true Godsend to the serious gamer. I for one absolutely love to thrash it out on multiplayer online Pro Evo or Fifa, and I know many of my friends would struggle to go on without online Call of Duty!
For me this is where you find the best quality online gaming - online console modes. I have tried to load up the ’free online games'websites, and have found them to be mainly full of Amiga 500 standard 2D games that do not excite the modern gamer. But as PS3 and XBox continue to evolve - this is where I see the future of online gaming. And even for someone who loves to play a good old board game of play a bit of Solitaire, there is no contest.
This area of technology is only going to continue to expand and I’m sure it will not be long before we are involved in online virtual reality game play where we put on a helmet and transport ourselves onto the pitch or into the warzone.
