This article is very interesting because it discusses the benefit of web browser games. The Internet helps game players from different countries play together. Also, you do not have to pay for CD games to play; the only thing you have to do is access your computer with the Internet servers. It is like Facebook. You can connect with your friends and play your favorite games. I see just the games, advertising that works with money. I will tell my brothers that. They are always asking me about the games’ news to buy them. They have a mountain of CD games. Playing with your friends via the Internet is a good idea, and it has many advantages; for example, it helps you to save your money, to have fun by playing in a group, to increase your computer’s speed, and to save enough space on computer’s memory. The only disadvantage is you must have internet service on your computer, which is hard to get in my country these days.
