I like playing games online. At the moment a game called “The Godfather: five families” it’s a browser game for chrome. The problem for me is that I sometimes end up spending too much time on the game and not enough time working.
I stay away from MMORPGs as I love rpgs and I’m afraid my life is over if I start playing one.
Hahahaha… Read my other article on How To Avoid Addiction To Computer Games Danny, the link is in this article. 😛
Online gaming is a real fun especially when you are playing in multiplayer mode. Even little but funny flash games are very exciting. I just love them.
To be honest, i used to be such a big fan of playing video games. I played almost 8 to 9 hours a day when i was still in high school. But right now, i try to reduce my gaming time because i just don’t want video games to eat my quality time with myself. 😀 which i can use to watch TV, read articles, read books, watch DVD, write articles or any productive activity. Now i’m more like a mobile gamer than console gamer.
I only play some casual game like Pro Evolution soccer 2009 on my feature phone (not iOS or Android tablet/smartphone). And it works great. I can have so many good time with my life and have fun with simple games. But yeah, i agree with you, playing online games can be much better option than playing offline games because we can interact with other online friends, which is nice. Anyway, thanks for your great post Peter.
I used to be an online games addict. It was really fun no doubt but you would eventually stop spending too much time playing online games when you get older(that’s me..) 🙂
