Video games are bigger than the movie industry these days and it's about time we get some respect. It's interesting to see how a game console like the PS3 can make or break a giant company like Sony or how important it is to Microsoft to see the Xbox 360 succeed. We're even seeing ads and commercials in our games, a sure-fire sign that we're being taken serious. Hey, they wouldn't do it if we weren't important to them. But that's not what I want to talk about. What I set out to do is discuss PC game downloads.The way I see it, the gaming scene pretty much divides into PC gaming and console gaming. Consoles are proprietary and the games come on CDs, DVDs or BlueRay discs. You can also buy PC games on discs and order them online or get them from a store, but I much prefer to download video games from online. I mean, most of us do have broadband Internet access, so why not download games directly?
Well, there are some potential pitfalls. For example, due to my reputation as a geek and computer guru, everyone seems to call me when his or her PC has a problem. Most often, the problem turns out to be a virus. Worm or Trojan infestation, and it's usually because they download stuff from all sorts of dubious places. So don't be stupid. Stay with a reputable vendor who won't mess up your system!
Another problem with a lot of the online video games stores is that they don't let you try before you buy. Or if they do, it's so complicated that you give up in frustration. You should have to read a manual and reconfigure your computer just to play a demo.
