Video games are now at or near the top of entertainment options
among the younger generation, and the older crowd really enjoys them as
well. The graphics on these games have become so realistic that playing
games is almost like living through a movie. Video games have that kind
of pull these days. The popular games like Red Dead Redemption,
Starcraft 2 and Warcraft are perfect examples of how gaming and gaming
consoles have evolved. It is no longer about simply putting out an
addictive game - now the game must be addictive and spectacular
visually. Anything less than this is not going to be good enough in
today's gaming world.
There are many different gaming consoles on
the market today, and the most popular are PlayStation 3, X-box 360 and
the Wii. They all are miles ahead of the older gaming consoles that were
popular years ago. From the Atari all the way through the PlayStation,
PlayStation 2, GameCube, Dreamcast, Nintendo and many others, game
consoles have taken a huge leap ahead.
The Wii game console is
like nothing we have ever been able to enjoy before. You get to actually
act out the game as you play, and the game responds to that movement.
Many people never thought that this type of gaming interaction would be
possible, but it is available for a mere pittance to every gamer. It is
amazing that we can now play gaming technology for pennies on the dollar
when this same technology was worth thousands only a few short years
ago. There was a time when these systems would have cost 100 times what
they do today.
Another popular genre of gaming is the portable
variety. These have come a very long way as well with eye-popping
graphics and options galore. You can now take most games along with you
and play them in the palm of your hand. The most popular of these
include PSP, Nintendo DS and Game Boy, and this sector is continuing to
grow at a rapid rate. New games and consoles are coming out every single
year, and it can be tough to keep up with all the latest trends. Still,
it seems that the portable gaming industry catches up not long after
the regular consoles debuts a product.
If you enjoy video games,
this is the Golden age. Not only can you play game consoles and portable
game consoles, you can also play on the computer. Computer games are as
good as their counterparts in many ways, and the ability to get instant
access to many of your favorites is one reason why.
Regardless of
what types of games you like, there is something out there for you.
With all the new technologies out there that are being developed as we
speak, it is not hard to envision a space age like game system that we
step into and play virtually. While this may seem rather impossible, so
too did the graphics and game play that we now enjoy with our current
game consoles. It may just happen someday, but in the meantime we have
thousands of gaming options to enjoy.
