Gaming has reached new heights these past couple of years. Modern games developed in almost the blink of an eye. The most popular games now are those played online. Since the dawn of the first console game, this type of entertainment has captured our hearts. Atari and Nintendo were among the first to be on the playing field. Though the Atari console became obsolete, Nintendo came up with several more consoles such as Super NES, Gameboy and Nintendo 64. A couple of Sega branded consoles also came out of the market. But when Sony came into play, the competition became tough because of the very 1st PlayStation.
Desktop PC developers joined the bandwagon as early as they could. The advantage of this platform is its flexibility and expandability. Consoles are limited to the hardware that they are built with. PCs have expandable hardware, hence more games. From the 8 bit Prince of Persia, to the most popular game in the World Cyber Games, StarCraft, and PCs are the ultimate gaming console. StarCraft, WarCraft and Diablo probably sparked the beginnings of the online gaming community. Blizzard offered to players Battle Net, its online gaming community allowing players to meet opponents online.
After the PS1, there came PS2 and Xbox, both having the capacity to connect online. These consoles were modem ready. Going back to desktop, the first dedicated online RPG games came about at the same time, on of which is Ragnarok. During that time, the graphics weren't all too good because of limitations with the current internet technology. But what made online RPG games popular was that socialization was possible in this online world.
Currently, hard core online games are called MMORPG or Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games. They have hard core graphics and great storylines on top of the whole social media aspect. It lets people create their fantasy character or avatars online. We get to live in adventures that only existed in fairy tales.
Modern consoles are Xbox live and the PSN or PlayStation Network. Console gaming platforms are now dedicated to playing MMORPG as well. Even smart phones now offer 2d online games like dress up games or fight games. Dressup games do not require hard core graphics; they only require basic 2d animation.
The evolution of gaming is unstoppable. Especially now that everyone is connected to the web most of the time. Go here for more online <a href="http://www.freegaming.de/">games</a>.
