Games Review Blog

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 are dress up games anyway, i guess most of you never played those games before, well Dress up games are similar to paper dolls for girls except you dress them up online. Dress up games are excellent introductions for young girls first entering the world of computers and gaming which is a great 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 computers 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 can let you travel at speeds higher than allowed by law in your own home so lots of people enjoy those games.

Racing games can be judged by a number of aspects, such as handling, graphics, and track selection, but the most important aspect for hardcore race fans is customization options, the more upgrades and options you have, the better! Racing games can get boring pretty fast so those days game developers must innovate and find original ways to improve the game play.

Most Racing games can be categorized into two sub genres: racing simulation, in which the physics and real-world parameters of the cars are emphasized; and arcade racing, in which no accurate representation is presented, this genre offers just pure fun.

The last popular genre are the shooting games that can be distilled into two main types-the adventure genre of games and the simple shoot em up genre, no plot just shoot whatever you see, A very popular sub genre inside the shooting games are the space/futuristic games that feature some mission and destroying some meteorites and other targets that come in the way of your space craft. Shooting games can be fantastic pure fun if executed properly so the game developer must put an emphasis on the the game engine and graphics.

Another surprisingly popular games are board games that can be described as a unique branch of strategy games, board games can appeal to both experienced gamers and casual ones, providing instant fun on any number of platforms. Well, now that you know more about popular games, choose your style and play, have fun!
