An online game is such kind of activity when video games are played on a computer via Internet connection. There exist video games that can be played on diverse devices like video consoles or even cell phones, but online computer games can be played only on the assumption of Internet access availability. The beginning of online computer games fell on the 1980s even considering the fact that Internet was awfully slow and pretty expensive.

Now we can observe the result of this rapid development: virtual communication, high-end graphics, exceedingly realistic sound systems and lots more.

Like every other phenomenon, online computer games have a variety of variations. The first type is the first-person shooters game. In such games people battle head-to-head against each other. The majority of first-person shooters games comprise such components as deathmatch or arena style play. When you participate in these games you observe everything what is going on from your character`s own eyes.

The second type of online games is called real-time strategy. A real-time strategy is a game where the situation demands from the gamers the development of a combat strategy.
