The Internet offers us a wide range of sites, games and categories, what games do people really like to play? After lots of research and checking, some by using of Google tools I got to some interesting facts.

The most popular games are, believe it or not, dress up! I don’t know if it’s because of the fact that girls have less categories that appeal them then boys or that they really like to play but this genre is extremely popular.

So what are dress up games anyway, i guess most of you never played those games before, well Dress up games are similar to paper dolls for girls except you dress them up online. Dress up games are excellent introductions for young girls first entering the world of computers and gaming which is a great value for young girls that usually don’t approach computers, a thing that might be a disadvantage later on compared to boys that have lots of interaction with computers since young age.

You can see the popularity of this genre from the large variety of dress up sites on the Net. The next popular category is racing/driving games, which always appealed to boys and grown up men, for lots of people it’s the only place they can practice wild, fast driving, well, better at the online world then the real road.

Driving games let you travel at higher speeds then usually allowed by law in the comfort of your own house so the majority of people enjoy this games.

Racing games can be judged by a number of aspects, such as handling, graphics, and track selection, but the most important aspect for hardcore race fans is customization options, the more upgrades and options you have, the better! Racing games can get boring pretty fast so those days game developers must innovate and find original ways to improve the game play.

Racing games can be divided into two sub-genres: racing simulation, in which the physics and real-world aspects of the vehicles are emphasized; and arcade racing, in which an accurate representation is not important, only having fun.

The last popular category are the good old shooting genre that can be distilled into two main types-the arcade adventure games and the simple shoot em’ up games, no plot just shoot whatever stand in your way. A very popular sub genre inside those games are the futuristic games that feature some mission and destroying some aliens and other targets that come in your way. Shooting can be fantastic fun games if executed properly so the game programmer must put an emphasis on the the game play engine.

Another surprisingly popular games are board games that can be described as a unique branch of strategy games, board games can appeal to both experienced gamers and casual ones, providing instant fun on any number of platforms. Well, now that you know more about popular games, choose your style and play, have fun!
