From Atari to Online Safari

Online Video Games And the people who play them

Always wonder about Online video gaming? Well don’t worry so do a lot of other people just like you. The thing is online video gaming is no different than just playing side by side with a friend at home! Except your friend isn’t right with you and you have a bigger screen!

Most people who are unfamiliar with Online gaming might be under the impression that it is only for PC users. Well I’m writing this to tell you that it’s not true! Console gamers (people with Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2, and PS3) can also play online just the same. In the following paragraphs I will explain the Console pro’s and con’s.

CONSOLE PROS: You have a controller!

You have a bigger screen.

You have a smooth gaming experience (don’t worry about lag)

You don’t have to worry if your compatible just, (just buy the right game for the right console)

Online is actually quite simple to setup.

CONS: There is a debate about which has better graphics the PC or Console systems. PC sometimes with games like Crysis can take the cake.

Now this is all probably pretty new so you should take your time and if you do decide to do some online gaming via Console here is a checklist of the things you will need:

#1 The console of your choice (usually Xbox 360, or, PS3)

#2 A broadband internet connection (DSL, COMCAST, etc.)

#3 An Ethernet cable, or wireless adapter ( I believe ps3 has wireless เว็บแทงบอล capabilities built in)

#4 If you choose Xbox 360 you will need to purchase Xbox live ( I know it sucks you have to pay for it but trust me. it is much smoother!)

For PC:

#1 A computer

#2 A broadband internet connection

#3 Your game! Much more simple

So no matter which you choose just remember its just a game and try not to kill anybody over the results of an online game. And like all other games you will have cheaters, hackers, glitchers, and so forth.
