Personal computer game

A personal computer (also known as a computer game or simply PC game) is a video game played on a personal computer, rather than on a console video game arcade or machine. The electronic games have evolved from simple graphics and gameplay of the first titles such as Spacewar! In a wide range of more visually advanced titles.

PC games are created by one or more game developers, often in collaboration with other specialists (such as gambling artists) and published either independently or by a third party. May they be distributed on physical media such as DVDs and CDs, Internet-download shareware or online delivery services such as Direct2Drive and steam. PC games often require specialized equipment in the user's computer to play, as a generation of graphics processing unit or an Internet connection to play online, though these requirements vary game system to another .

The computer games and game addiction are often criticized, focusing primarily on the influence of objectionable content and extended gaming minors. The Entertainment Software Association and other groups argue that parents are responsible for moderating their children's behaviour, although the controversy has prompted attempts to control the sale of certain games to the USA
