With online gaming there’s two types of gaming online theirs free to pay and theirs one which cost money to own an account. Most of the free games to play online are very simplistic and easy for the users, however while the pay to play are more complex and very much down to the very little detail. These games allow the user to connect to the world while playing these games. Two major mmorpgs are Eve online and WoW (world of warcraft) both of these games is very big on the internet as both have a wide range of communities. I have played both of these games and I do believe that do exceed what would be call the grade mark for a good Mmorpgs and is highly respected in the game community. I can see why many people would come play games online as it give them the sense of community and a belonging in the game.

The other form of online games is via game consoles this has also become widely popular. From this it has allowed the user to chat and hang out with friends or people the meet online, which allows them to play with each other online. Some of the most popular games played on Xbox liver of psn is either the Fifa games or the call of duty series which have became popular. With both of these gaming types becoming more and more popular it a likelihood that we will see more people using online gaming.
