Internet has touched lives of billions and though there are
some problems caused by it, the internet has definitely enhanced the lifestyle
of people especially in the last decade. And one aspect of it which was
considered remote was social gaming a few years back but not it has come back
with a bang.
Social games have become wide spread with Social Networks
such as Facebook, MySpace and other social networking sites providing games for
the users to interact with each other. Early versions of these kinds of games
were prevalent in Facebook as applications which were inclined majorly towards
texts and inputs. But today these games have highly evolved in such a way that
more graphical objects are incorporated into these games and game developers are
also keen in providing such appealing aspects for the users.
Standard games are also a huge market for game programmers
to utilize on but social games have become more exciting as the experience of
sharing a common platform in the virtual world with other users is highly
enthralling. Facebook game developers state that users find these games more
entertaining as well as helpful as this lets these gamers to socialize with their
friends without stepping out of their rooms. Sharing status, posts, scores etc
make these social games interactive and engaging.
The option of chatting with gamers playing with you is one
such option which increases the adrenaline rush during the game play. These
games are defined by points and goals for determining the winner of a
particular game or a round in the game, the option of chatting gives way for
interaction amongst these users. The level of competition increases as a group
of random users can interact with one another and become friends online. And if
one is playing against/with a group familiar to him/her interaction makes way
for more exciting incidents to happen.
Mobile game developers are also keenly looking on to the
aspect of integrating options for interaction in an evolved way. Even high end
phones with enhanced capabilities have difficulties with providing the users
with features which can enable them to interact with other users. This is being
looked at as a major disadvantage by the mobile gamers. Even though they are
more user-friendly, the games are in no way comparable to games that can be
found online such as MMORPGs or even for other platforms that are not computer
based.
Though higher end console games provide top-notch gaming
experience the level of interactivity is bounded within the games’ arena. These
games available in popular networking sites provide minimal graphical sophistications
but the experience of sharing a platform with friends and acquaintances elevate
the experience of gaming on realms of virtual social clubs.
