Computer Games

Hello Gamers!

I buy most of my games via my computer. I am admittedly a pc gamer, and not much of a console gamer- but I’ll explain why.

I’m not saying that I like computer gaming more than console- oh no. I grew up on a Playstation 2, and later graduated to playing on my friends’ Xbox in their basement.

But alas, I can only play pc games because well, that’s all I own and the friends moved out, taking their Xbox with them... Some friends right?

So today I want to share my method of buying games for said pc.

First, I like to see what the game is about, unless I know that it will be good no matter what (like an Arkham Game, or a Lego Game). Sometimes this involves categories such as action, mystery, or just sandbox.

Secondly, if I’m not sure I like it, I will try to find a spoiler free review, either from a friend, or just from the internets.

And finally, I look for it on Steam, or Origin, two programs on my computer that is essentially a library of games old and new.

It’s like the history of all of gaming, too, in that both have games that aren’t in the store anymore, or are just unpopular.

They are like the treasure trove of modern and old pc gaming alike, and I believe you can even buy games for other systems and have them shipped to your house.

I stumbled upon Origin about two years ago, when looking for a copy of Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 (very good game buy the way). The search brought me to Gamestop, where the clerk told me that I could find what I was looking for online.

Thus my Origin account was born.

Only a year later, I stumbled on Steam, brought on by a conversation with my mentor of sorts, when he asked me if I’d used it. When I told him that I didn’t use it for my pc gaming, he recommended that I check it out.

I did, love it, and here we are now.

Both are websites on the internet, and also programs that you can download to your computer, like I said they both hold hundreds of games, and now to the point I really had in mind when starting this blog: pricing and handling. I’ve also done a blog on Steam, so if you haven’t read that one go check it out now, and as for Origin it’s basically the same as Origin except it has a different name and you get more EA based games shoved in your face.

This is okay however as Red Alert Three was an EA game, so I’ll give them credit there.
Well that’s it for tonight gamers, see ya next time
