Online Games

In this entry I'm going to talk and express my opinion about a current issue:Online games
Introduction
Online Games are games played by internet without the necessity of having installed software. There are a lot of types of these games:Sports, adventures, war games. But are the War and violent games the most used by young people. In the last ten years, the number of people who plays this type of virtual games have increased a lot. Not only young people play, also older people do. Also, Many online games have associated online communities, making online games a form of social activity beyond single player games. That means, nowadays, online games aren't just a way of entertaiment for adolescents, it's a new way of comunication too. As I've said, the mos played games are war ones, but I think, the reason because they play it is the strategy instead of the violence.

My Personal Opinion
I've played some online games, but i don't like it very much. I know people who loves it, but i don't. When I've played, I've enjoyed, but I prefer meeting my friends than being hours in front of the computer playing a game where I'm the emperator of Rome (for example). I think it's a good way of communication in young people, but we've to control the time we use the computer
