By reklicom

It may sound a little bit strange at first - games for girls. Games are games. Is there really such a thing as games for girls? You bet there is. In fact, games for girls are becoming so popular that there are entire websites dedicated to these games. So what makes these games so different from all the other games?

Actually, the habit of playing online games has many advantages that the habit watching bad TV is lacking. Recent research has shown that playing puzzle and word games decreases the risk of Alzheimer disease while watching daytime television increases the risk.

Whether youre at school, college or work " stress is inevitable. This is an unarguable reality, and can be detrimental to your health. How can it affect your wellbeing, you ask? Anxiety alone is identified as a cause of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Setting aside the scientific jargon, allow me to show you how online games can help you.

You may find yourself overwhelmed with assignments at some point, or unprepared for an upcoming exam or test. You may be in a hectic situation at your job, but in desperate need for that bonus or promotion. At times such as these, the ideal resort may not be to intensify the workload, but rather take a momentary break. The key to your productivity is the time-span of your breaks. Your perfect choice, in such a situation, may just be online games!

Cooking games.Sometimes, girls (and boys too) like to pretend they are all grown up. Cooking games allow them to do that, without having the responsibilities of a real grown up. They can cook whatever they want and whenever they want in their little make believe world. Boys will probably prefer building, business, or more violent worlds. But for girls, cooking games will do nicely.

Fortunately, there are other games freely available on the Internet. These are usually Flash games. Flash is a plug in for the browser. Traditionally, this plug in needs to be downloaded and installed into the browser before Flash games can be played. However, almost all modern browsers come pre-installed with this plug in. So there is no need to worry about installation issues.

To play these games, all you need is an Internet connection and a modern browser. Mozilla Firefox is highly recommended. Some sites may require you to register before you are allowed to play these games. But most sites allow you to play for free with registration.

We all know that playing computer and online games is fun. Therefore, we cannot take our eyes off our PC screens even if the phone is ringing, our favorite TV show is about to begin or our dinner is burned on the stove.

All of us have already heard bad things about this amusing pastime. We all know that online games are addictive; they can cause you and your children to spend valuable time in front of the computer on the expense of work, school and family obligations. Playing video and internet games on a regular basis can isolate you from human companionships, distort your sense of reality, shorten your sight, damage your back and basically mess up your life.

There is FINALLY a way for the gaming community to cash in on the craze it is actually responsible for. A way to not only introduce others to online games by allowing them to be tried for FREE, but there is also a way to do this on a much larger scale and to offer people their own online multiplayer distributorships! - 15634
