It’s hard to believe that at one time you had to go to an arcade to play the best new video games. Now you can enjoy them right in your own home! The gaming hobby has skyrocketed in popularity over the last few decades with millions of new players joining the ranks of dedicated gamers.
If you are interested in getting in on all the fun, you just need to get yourself a nice gaming rig, a computer that has top notch graphics and lots of RAM so it can operate at high speeds. One of the most important pieces of your set up is a high quality gaming monitor, that’s where your eyes will be focused as the on-screen action happens!
To get you started on your video gaming journey, we have picked out some of the best titles for you to learn to shred (play fast and furiously) on!
Forza Horizon 5 – Everybody likes to drive fast, and when you are behind the wheel of a virtual car you can really put the petal to the metal without actually being a hazard! The action is set in sunny Mexico where you will drive your hopped up customised car insanely fast through some of the most exciting terrain and events ever seen in a racing game! Lay some electronic rubber on the road, this game starts out fast and never slows down… until you crash. It happens! No real speed maniacs were harmed!
Diablo IV – The medieval world of Sanctuary has been overrun with gibbering demons and horrific monsters again, and its up to you to slaughter as many of them as you possibly can before- well, we won’t leak any spoilers. You can do your monster mashing as one of several hero types, a hard hitting, close quarters Barbarian, a hawk-eyed Rogue archer, a mystical arts master Sorcerer throwing lightning bolts and fireballs at the baddies, and more! Our favourite character class is the Necromancer, a mysterious figure who wields the macabre powers of the undead, raising a band of skeleton warriors and magic users along with a massive golem to help in the never-ending struggle to save Sanctuary from the diabolical forces of Evil! Hours of good clean monster killing fun, guaranteed!
Microsoft Flight Simulator – Another long time classic that just keeps getting better with age! If you have ever fancied soaring through the air and flying around the world in your own airplane, then this is the game for you! You can fly out of and land at nearly every airport in the world, including all the small strips in small towns, and even in places like cornfields and desert sands! Travel literally anywhere on Earth as long as you don’t run out of fuel over the ocean! The latest satellite imagery is used to give this virtual world real life flavour, and Microsoft is updating their map all the time so you almost feel like you were really there! Happy landings!
Well, that should get you started, you better cancel all your plans for a while, because once you plug in you won’t want to leave the thrilling world of gaming any time soon. -Don’t forget to eat!
