Online games are games played over some form of computer network. At the present, this almost always means the Internet or equivalent technology. The expansion of online gaming has reflected the overall expansion of computer networks from small local networks to the Internet and the growth of Internet access itself. Online games can range from simple text based games to games incorporating complex graphics and virtual worlds populated by many players simultaneously. Many online games have associated online communities, making online games a form of social activity beyond single player games. For example, casino games like poker, blackjack etc, trooper games, billiards etc are few online popular games.
Now-a-days video, audio, and a whole new set of user interactive games are in demand. When Microsoft began packaging Flash as a pre-installed component of IE, the Internet began to shift from a data/information spectrum to also offer on-demand entertainment. This revolution paved the way for sites to offer games to web surfers. Most online games charge a monthly fee to subscribe to their services, while some charge no monthly fee scheme.
