Video games have become one of the most popular ways to spend time in modern society. In the US alone, an estimated 65% of households have had at least one game console or another. The number of genres and age brackets that different types of games can appeal to is nothing short of amazing, ranging from simple puzzle games to 80-hour epics rivaling the finest works of literature. These games can introduce fresh ideas to the minds of the players, or at least let them temporarily escape the pressures of the world around them. However, playing single player can sometimes be interpreted as something that’s less fun. Supposedly, there is only so much enjoyment a person can get when playing alone, so it is best to play over the Internet, with others. The selection of free online games is wide, so people won’t be lacking for choice, either.

Online games are the perfect solution if you’re feeling all pathetic playing alone. Tons of Internet sites will allow you to play thousands and thousands of games, some are free, and some are paid. Either way, you’re still guaranteed an exhilarating game experience. As a matter of fact, many of these sites provide a download link of no-cost trail version on your PC.

Online games have a lot of genres. Some of the widely known are action, adventure, arcade, puzzle, racing, role playing, strategy, shooting, cards, casino, boards and so on. This goes to prove that online games also cater to casual gamers. There are a lot of games you can play if you just want to do something to keep you from getting bored. Every genre offers infinite options and this is the easiest way to keep yourself entertained.

Adventure games are also a big hit. Questing around a fantasy world and saving damsels (or the odd drunken prince) from thugs and generic bad guys has always been a popular thing to play. These games tend to be simple affairs compared to their more in-depth MMO brothers, with a lot of elements shared between them and older adventure games from earlier consoles. The structure is made so that it is easy to forget about how much time has already been spent on a game, so one can easily end up sinking six hours or more into it and not realize it. The truly well-designed ones will have people mumbling "just one more hour."

If you want to hone your intellect, you can try playing puzzle games. These can be exciting and intellectually challenging at the same time. At first sight, you might think that puzzle video games are simple and easy to play. However, once you’re already into it, you’ll discover that there’s so much more to it than what you originally thought. These games can easily keep your mind relaxed. Let your children try playing them online because these can help develop their problem-solving skills too.

There are also online casinos that not only let people play those games, but also earn money through their bets. Blackjack, poker, roulette and more are playable in thousands of online casinos out there; some people have even made a decent income playing nothing but online poker or online blackjack. WSOP winner Chris Moneymaker – yes, that is his real name – first made his name as a poker player over the Internet. There are also places online where these can be played without putting real money on the line, though they also remove the opportunity to make money.
