The social aspect of online games can work both ways. Rather than going out to meet new people or spending time with friends to play with, you will be playing virtual games on your computer, phone or whatever, as you are stuck in on your own, with your opponent possibly being on the other side of the world. However, you can also meet new people online and become friends, whether they are local or in different country, giving you a new gaming partner.

You can probably find any old game online, so have a look, log on and see how it takes before you’re having fun.
