Anticipating a growth in an unfamiliar territory, certain companies like Sony, Ubisoft, Nintendo, Activision, etc. played an important part in advancing the computer games technology. They brought these to a different level all together. Different accessories devices are manufactured to play these games.
PC Games. These games are available on CDs in retail market and can also be downloaded from the internet. These are available at a price and some are freeware. A lot of websites offer freeware games.One can check for new releases and upcoming games from these websites.
Online games. These are created and uploaded by individual websites. These are also in both categories of paid and freeware. More than a billion games are available online. These games can also be connected to multi-player games.
Multi-player Games. In these there can be more than one player at a time, unlike on the PC where it is one person activity. Proper devices or consoles are needed to play them. Two or more players can play at a time. Popular multiplayer games are World of Warcroft, Warcroft 3, Baseball, BloodWars, Business tycoon online, Castle of heroes, etc., which can also be played online with friends.
Gaming console games. With the demand for high quality, high resolution, multi-level games, companies got into the market dedicated software needed consoles. Now games are being created for Xbox 360, Nintendo DSI, Nintendo DS, Play station, Play station Portable(PSP) and Wii. However, they are on the expensive side.
Today's computers are able to cater for the high graphics of the video games. With this immense technology, the world seems a small place. There is no need to come out from the comfort of the home. With the broadband / mobile internet and the advancement in the computer technology, this industry is set for further and higher growth.
Lately I have been posting an awful lot of business stuff and it seems I have been neglecting my account for a few months now. I thought today I would write about something more fun and compelling, as opposed to the same old boring business jargon. I decided to write about flight simulation and which games I prefer that provide the most realistic flight simulation experience.
You will find several different types of flight simulation games, some are designed for just 1 or 2 specific aircraft, some are online games, some don't need to be online, and others provide their own equipment and use separate gaming technology that does not run on your PC.
I prefer computer flight simulator games. The things to look for in a flight sim game include things like feature support... It is not a good game if it does not support your pedals and yoke equipment. Games that don't adapt professional equipment usually aren't worth the money in the long run, and usually are much more limited. Do you want a game you will master too quickly that only features a couple of aircraft? Chances are not, so it is definitely better to have a flight sim with hundreds of real aircraft to choose from.
Are you looking for a fake sim game just to have fun? Or do you want a simulator based on real life terrain, with tens of thousands of real airports, and which offers you the ability to change all weather settings and make the game as realistic as possible? I would say it's the latter for me. If you are interested in a realistic game I suggest you keep reading.
I was informed about "Pro Flight Simulator" by a good friend of mine. He recommended the game not only for it's 120+ aircraft, 20,000 airports, 3 bonuses including a combat game, scenery designer and flight planner. He also recommended it because you can add your own custom graphics!
The graphics in the game are open source, it does come with great graphics, but if you are an artist and/or photoshopper this really comes in handy, as you can virtually replace whatever graphics you want with your own better ones. Thus completely customizing the game.
