Top 5 sites gamers will love

Playing video games is one of the most common hobbies in the world. Even people who wouldn’t necessarily describe themselves as gamers enjoy spending time playing mobile games or playing a few hands of Minesweeper, Solitaire or Hearts on the computer. Gaming software and technology have reached the point where dedicated gamers don’t have to have all of the latest consoles or the highest spec computer system – even though they obviously want to have them!

Internet requirements for an enjoyable online gaming experience

Online games constitute a popular pastime for the modern generation. Publishers frequently publish online video games, whether competitive multiplayer shooters or immersive MMORPGs. Thus, you need a reliable internet connection to enjoy those thrilling moments in combat.  But just how much internet do you need to play online games?
