I started gaming back in the early 90's and it was fun playing with friends but nowadays not many people have the time to come over to someone elses house to play videogames... But with online play you can play against anyone, anywhere, at anytime. This also adds more life to games as your opponent will usually be different with different skillz.... Anyways, todays videogames are targeted at older kids (15 >) not kids who are real young.....
