What free online games do we really love?
The Internet offers us a wide variety of sites, games and genres, what games people really like to play? After some research and checking, some was used by lots of Google tools I got to some interesting conclusions.
The number one genre is dress up! I don’t know if it’s because of the fact that girls have less categories that appeal them then boys or just that they really love playing but that genre is extremely loved.
So what is dress up, i guess some of your never played those games before, well Dress up games are similar to girls dolls for girls except you dress them up online. Dress up games are a great introduction for young girls first encountering the world of Internet and gaming which is a good value for young girls that usually don’t approach computers, a thing that might be a disadvantage later on compared to boys that have lots of interaction with the online world since young age.
You can see the popularity of this category from the large variety of dress up sites on the Internet. The next popular category is racing games, which always appealed to the boys and grown up men, for many people it’s the only place they can practice wild, fast driving, it’s better at the online games world then the real roads.
Racing games often let you drive at high speed more then allowed by law in the comfort of your own home so many people enjoy those games.
Driving games can be judged by many of aspects, such as track selection, handling and graphics, but the most important aspect for hardcore gamers is the customization options, the more options available, the better! Racing games can get monotonous pretty fast so game programmers must innovate and find new ways to improve the game play.
Racing games can be divided into two sub-genres: racing simulation, in which the physics and real-world aspects of the vehicles are emphasized; and arcade racing, in which an accurate representation is not important, only having fun.
Last but not least is the vintaged shooting genre that can be categorized into two main types-the triple A adventure games and the simple shoot em’ up games with no plot, just shoot whatever stand in your way. Another popular sub genre inside those games are the space theme games that feature interesting missions and slaying some aliens and other targets that stand in our way. Shooting can be great fun games if executed properly so developers must put an emphasis on the the graphic interface and the game play engine.
Another surprising popular genre are the board games that can be described as a unique form of strategy games, board games can appeal to both hardcore and casual gamers, providing no-frills fun on any number of platforms. Well, now that you know more about online games, find your style and have fun, good luck!
