Online Multiplayer Game Play And Social Networking

Multiplayer video games have environments where more than one person can plug in at the same time

. Computer games are generally designed to be played against pre programmed or artificial intelligence opponents. Though these are technologically advanced, they lack the ingenuity and the flexibility of human players or thinking. Multiplayer games override these limitations.

With advancements in networking technologies, multiplayer games now offer real time game play. Split screen game play has become a thing of the past and with the advent of Internet, players from different parts of the world can plug to the same game map. Be it in the form of partnership or competition, the games allow players to interact with others. One can individually compete against human contestants or work cooperatively with others in order to achieve a common goal.

Single player games usually lack social communication. Multiplayer games on the other hand are a viable social network. Players can focus on teamwork or form groups with like-minded people. As there is a common aim set for many members, players have a tendency to play together as a team in order to win. This teamwork regularly goes beyond into real life. Some even have romantic relationships with other players. Games offer bonuses and points for each achievement, making the players feel more assured about their talents. These bonuses and extra points reinforce a positive sentiment.

Gamers insist on teamwork and cooperation, which contributes to the social atmosphere of the game. In a world where people turn to technology more than ever, some feel that humanity is getting isolated. But as online gamers show, venturing into the digital world is a gateway to society, not a cut off point. Socializing with other people isn't a thing of the past - it's the basis for the future, and online gamers are leading the way.

Here are a few a multiplayer games that are popular:
