Thanks to the rise of the Internet, more and more people are now being given the chance to experience all the adrenaline-pumping action brought by PC games. The best part is that in order to play these games, people simply have to log in to their computer and download a couple of files and patches. Of course, having a fast Internet connection is a must in case you plan to download huge files, and once you have managed to do so, you just have to sit back and install the game.

There are more advantages of downloading PC games that the ordinary gamer might not be fully aware of. Here they are:

  1. Downloading using PC is easier. Imagine hearing about the latest video game release and realizing that you still have to drive miles from your home to the nearest store. Not only is it a waste of your efforts, it is also a waste of gas. Good news, though, as more and more game developers have made it a point to let their games become available via download. It means you simply have to get your credit card to pay for the games right in the comfort of your own home.
  2. Downloading games for your PC is faster. To those who have an unreliable Internet connection, there are plenty of download managers that can facilitate a faster transfer rate of files from the server to your computer. Another advantage involves the fact that most files for freeware games comes in only a few megabytes. You simply have to wait for a few minutes before everything is downloaded.
  3. Downloading freeware PC games is showing support to the indie industry. One of the hard-hitting facts that surround the video game industry is that there are plenty of nameless yet talented game developers who get plastered against the background of mainstream, commercial releases. The fact that people are taking the time to download and play their games is already a testament that their efforts to create mundane masterpieces will not be in vain. As much as possible, it is always advisable to download an indie game once in a while.
  4. Of course, the main benefit of playing downloaded games on the PC is that you can save lots of money buying other game consoles. With your personal computer, you can watch movies, type using a word processor, and surf the Internet. There are some gaming consoles that have already adapted the Internet features, but none gets closer to what the PC can offer. In short, with a PC, you already have an all-in-one machine that allows you to take a break from gaming once in a while to focus on other things such as finishing your projects.
