As technology
has taken quite an advanced leap over the past sixteen years, it took very little time for designers to add online elements
to video and computer games. One of the most common features found in video games lately is to include as much interaction
between human and computer as possible. With the Gamespy network, people are able to play not only against the machine, but
also people.
Introduction
to Gamespy: A part of the IGN family
Gamspy is one of
the Internets largest and popular gaming Network available to date. The intension behind Gamespy is to allow users to access
online features in video games they already own. If a user is interested in a computer game that is supported on in the gamespy
network, they are able to purchase a download DTD (direct to drive) giving them endless possibilities. All online gaming is
free unless otherwise noted although X-box Live requires a yearly membership that can be purchased both on & offline.
Gamespy covers online
gaming platforms from companies such as: Microsoft
Sony
Nintendo
Nokia
PC
As most new releases contain
online features and functions all a user needs to do is load their video/ computer game and select the online option found
commonly in the title screen. From here on you can configure the game to you current Internet connection and log in through
The Gamespy network to an online HUD of players. This is where online gamers can chat, discuss and organize anything they
please from online banter to setting up invites to start playing a game they both may own.
