Sure there have been networked games since Empire in 1973, but most people really hadn’t been exposed to them until this decade. There were plenty of networked games that came out in the 1990′s like Ultima Online, Everquest, Warcraft, Command and Conquer, but today almost all new games have some networked capability. The huge difference between classical computer games and networked games are the other players. Fighting with or against another human, even if they are on the other side of the planet, makes gaming much more enthralling. Today most console games, computer games, and even many phone games allow you to play with friends. Games have sprung up across social networks as well. This trend will continue until it will be hard to imagine games that don’t let you play with your friends. Whether it is Farmville, World of Warcraft, or Online Poker, there is a networked game for you to play with your friends.
