Games

Games have been a part of history since man could walk. One could imagine cavemen throwing rocks or keeping track of who hunted the most animals in a given time. To them it may not have seemed like a game, but in a way keeping track of points and things like that are parts of gaming. Competition has always been part of gaming. All the best games are usually the most competitive, that is not to say that a game that isn't competitive can't be a good game, but for the most part games like call of duty or games where a highscore is kept are normally the highest selling. Games are also just a way to pass the time as is the case for board games and card games. In the old west cowboys would get together at a saloon and play poker or blackjack as a way of entertainment and as a form of gambling. In the 60s and 70s games like twister, monopoly, and sorry!, filled households with joy on nights when there may not have been anything to do or maybe just a dedicated family game night. Now games are mostly online whether on a computer or through a game console. Only time will tell where games will go as they evolve and move with humans through history.
