There are so many different video games that I love to play other gamers from around the world on my video game console when I am connected to the internet. From fighting games that have shorter matches, to sports games that can span several hours in length; and my favorite gamers are the shooters, which can host up to twenty or more players when played online and that require some vast strategy to win. I never thought in a million years when I was a kid that the video game consoles of my adulthood would allow for such fun times. However, technology has advanced so far that this is now a reality. Thanks to high speed internet and avid video game console development companies, the next generation in gaming is here: the internet. I have even been shopping for some new games to add to my collection lately, and most say on the back that you can log online and play other gamers. The only stipulations are that the gamer that you wish to play has to have the same game and video game console to connect with you, but that is to be expected. What will they think of next? In the meanwhile this gamer is happy as pie!
