If you would like to play games on your computer I am sure that you are aware of the fact that there are numerous types of computer games. There are flash games, or games which are not too demanding on the computer as they have a very simple interface, and then there are the other games, which require a powerful computer in order to work properly. Usually these games cost money but the good news is that there are free online downloadable games which you can, well, download. You should know that I am talking about the legal ways of obtaining a game.

Usually the small games which are not demanding on the computer can be played directly on the website which means that you can play them directly on the website. In many cases the website will allow you to download them as well. You have to choose between playing the game directly on the website or download them on your computer. The benefit of having them on the computer is the fact that you can play them whenever you want even when you do not have an internet connection.

You can also download games which belong to the other category, more precisely the one which requires certain components in order to properly work. You should know that for the newer games you can only download the demos, if the game has one, and the demo will be able to get you a clue about what the game is like. In the case of the full downloads, the games that are fully downloadable are the “old-school” ones, and the ones which have been placed available for download by the companies which produced them themselves. Even if these games are older than the current games, they are considered to be classics and they are lots of fun.



These games are the games such as “Doom” which was one of the original First Person Shooter game. Wolfenstein was the first game in this domain but the truth is that Doom was more popular than Wolfenstein. Another option of downloading the game for free and legally would be to enter various contests which offer the games for prizes. I have to tell you the truth, you do not have immense chances of winning, but you have more chances than if you would not have entered the contest in the first place.

Usually these games get downloaded very quickly since the technology has evolved, and the interned speed connection is getting faster and faster with each passing year. This was my information on the free online downloadable games. As I said, the best chances for you to download games is to download the ones which are more basic.

The computer games are one of the best means of entertainment nowadays. They are great to play when you want to pass the time, having fun, and so on. For some, the computer games are a mean of making money, as there are more and more gaming leagues in the world, such as the Major League Gaming in the United States, the Korean e-Sports Players Association, and so on. This can give you a clue about how much has the industry evolved and progressed in the last period of time. There are various types of computer games and I am going to tell you a little bit about them.

First of all there are many small fun PC games such as Solitaire, or any other card games which can be played on most of the computers. These games do not require a very powerful computer from the performance point of view because they do not use too many resources. It is very likely that in most of the cases you can find online versions of these games without being obligated to download them. These games are great for passing on time, and they are intended for most of the people because they are not too difficult to learn, in fact the rules are the same as in the case of the live games, the only difference being the fact that you have to get used to playing them with the mouse.

The other type of computer fun PC games is represented by those which are not intended for the general public, because these games require certain skill in order to play. These are the games such as the First Person Shooters, and so on, but I will clarify this in a moment. These games can be divided into various categories. The First Person Shooter, which I mentioned earlier are those games in which you see the interface of the game through the eyes of the character and your main task is to survive by shooting other people. The most popular games in this category are Counter Strike, Halo, and Call of Duty.



Another great type of games is the Sports games. These games have evolved so much as they are able to offer almost a real-life experience. You can play all sorts of sports games: football, American football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and so on. The most popular games in this domain are FIFA, Madden, NBA2K, and NHL. The Real Time Strategy games are also great as they allow you to create armies which you can then use to conquer your foes. The most popular games: Starcraft, Warcraft, Red Alert. Another type is the Sandbox game which allows you to play in a really huge map, being required to do lots of missions. The main games in this category are Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead & Redemption.

In what follows I am going to give you some information about the card games which are played all over the world. Whether they are card games in Costa Rica, Unites States of America, or Paris, these games have managed to draw the attention and the interest from people all over the world. The card games represent a great mean of entertaining, and why not, a great mean of making money. People can play the card games between them as friends as a mean of having fun and socializing, and in the same time they can take the more professional approach which is the one of playing the games as a living.

I will start with what I believe to be the biggest game when it comes to cards, the king game, call it they way you want, and that is poker. The game of poker has a certain aura, when you think about it, this is the game that was played in the saloons from the Old West, as I am sure that you have seen in many movies or read in books. People no longer get shot because of this game, but even so, the game is just as important as it used to be. There are various types of poker games, and I am going to talk about two of them.

The first one is the five card draw, a game which I am certain that you have played at least once. Each player receives five cards, and after that he has the possibility of changing up to three of them. After the cards have been changed, the player which has the biggest hand (two pairs, full house, etc.) wins the round. Of course, in many cases the game involves betting and because of this, it is said that poker is also a game of mind, a game of deception. It is said that who knows how to lie the best will win in poker.

The next type of poker game is the Texas Hold’em, the version which is currently the most popular. This version is very different than the 5 card draw one, because here each player will receive two individual cards which only he/she can see and then they will all share 5 community cards. The players have to combine the community cards with what they have in hand, whether if it is a card or both of them and the one which has the best hand wins. There are various rounds of betting, and because of this, Texas Hold’em is far more complex.



These are what I believe to be two of the most popular card games in Costa Rica, and everywhere in the world.
