Online games have come a long way since the days of playing Pong online. All consoles now feature online capabilities allowing a whole new lease of life of game play. Online games have developed so much that some games are built solely for playing across the web with other human players.

I have to admit, I use to be a bit of an addict – my game of choice was Battlefield 2, up to 64 human players all running around in “organised combat” – somethin a single player game just cant compete with. It’s not just the high spec graphics games that have risen in popularity either. Poker and other gambling card games account for such a high percentage of all gambling worldwide – that is all thanks to the online capabilities and speeds of broadband connections.

Online gaming in the future could be something really special, with real money, interaction and lifestyles mapped out on the internet super highway – lets wait and see!
