Last But Not Least

As a Wii fanatic, the best way to get a Wii game is to have it free of charge and a lot of web sites nowadays are giving out these Wii games free for downloading. However, downloading these games for free should be done with extra caution because just like other free downloads online such as music, video or other files, they come with risks as consequences for its free of cost feature resulting to a waste of time and spending more money.

Downsides of Free Wii Games

The most immense threat about downloading free games for your Wii is the threat of getting spyware and viruses on your computer. This can turn out to be a really serious problem for you if you are not extra careful in choosing the right download sites that offer games free of these spyware and viruses. Even if there are remedies for these virus attacks, it would be a totally different matter once the viruses infect your game console and end up paying a technician to repair your Wii for you.

Another downside of downloading free games in unsafe web sites is the possibility that the files you are downloading are damaged. Downloading a game takes a lot of time and it would really be frustrating that you get to realize the damage only after the download has been completed. You just wasted your time waiting for the completion of the download only to find out that the game file is actually damaged.

Safe Downloading

If you really want to save cost without the hassle of putting up with spyware or viruses and the probability that what you are downloading is damaged, then you must be extra careful in picking out the web site where you will be downloading your Wii games. Just because a web site is offering a Wii game download free of charge does not necessarily mean that this web site is unsecured or unsafe for you, your computer and your game console. There are still sites that are safe and it all depends on how you choose your downloading site.

There are sites that offer subscriptions and do not require you to pay for each downloaded game or require you to pay a monthly membership fee. You only need to pay once in these sites in order to have full access of their database for free. For a one time payment, you will be able to download all of the games that you want to have on your Wii console and the best thing is that you are not constrained by a bandwidth limit thus making it possible for you to download Wii games as many times as you want.

However, if you do not want a one time payment, you can just stick to becoming a member of particular download site. These sites also contain large databases of Wii games and not only that; you can also download music and movies in these sites.

The great thing about a site that offers subscriptions is that it guarantees Wii users that their games are virus free and absolutely genuine. For a little amount, you will be freeing yourself from all the stress of spyware, viruses and damaged files. Now, you wont have to worry about spending so much just to get your computer repaired and you Wii as well and you will not be wasting your time and effort downloading for games that do not live up to your expectations.

If you think your kids are spending too much time playing video games on their Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, PC or PSP (Playstation Portable) consoles then you may have a reason to be concerned, but not worried. Before you tell your child to put down the game remote and pick up a text book you should consider this fact; there is a professional video game circuit out there with professional gamers who earn thousands, even millions of dollars.

South Korea has a genuine passion for playing video games. This is a video game obsessed nation. The electronic gaming events in this country can draw up to 100,000 spectators at a single event. Their cyber-athletes make hundreds of thousands of dollars playing in tournaments that are televised nationwide. Some of them are so popular they cannot go out in public without body guards to shield them from adoring fans. They even date movie stars and get their faces on the covers of newspapers and magazines.

Recently there was an electronic gaming tournament held in Seoul, South Korea at Jamsil Indoor Stadium. This event was the equivalent of our Superbowl. The game of choice for this event was StarCraft, which is a web game that is played on PCs. This event was nationally televised and broadcast on the Internet. The audience of 1.78 million who viewed it on television and online were glued to their seats as they watched the daylong event unfold. They came to watch the most popular gamer in their country strut his stuff.

His name is Lim Yo-hwan, he is 27 years old and he is the Mick Jagger of e-sports in South Korea. This young man has made quite a name for himself playing StarCraft, the only game that matters on the video game circuit in this country. His fans wanted to see him put on a show, and he did, winning the event easily with a take home prize of $20,000. Lim Yo-hwan has won many of these events in recent years and this has put his income in the six figure category. Not bad for playing video games.

The United States has some Superstar cyber-athletes too who make a very good living on the electronic gaming circuit. The brightest star in this country is a 26 year old man named Johnathan Wendel, otherwise known to his fans as Fatal1ty (his screen name). He lives in Kansas City, Missouri but his reputation lives all over the world.

Johnathan became a professional gamer at the age of 19, and in the past seven years he has won 41 major e-sports video game tournaments. He has won more electronic gaming competitions than anyone else in America. Johnathan has also done very well financially, winning over $450,000 in prize money.

Johnathan Wendel has traveled all over the world playing in video game tournaments. To date he has played on every continent except Antarctica. These tournaments have been held at some very interesting, unique and famous places including the Great Wall Of China and Moscows Red Square, so the idea of holding one in Antarctica some day may be not be so far-fetched.

Everywhere Johnathan goes he is swarmed by fans who just love the way he plays video games. All of his expenses are paid when he travels and he lives like a rock star. With world championships in five different video games, Johnathan is considered by most in his sport to be the best in the world. No other gamer has even come close to matching his accomplishments.

In November of 2006 Johnathan Wendel defeated his biggest nemesis and won the world championship for his fifth video game (PainKiller), and in doing so he took home a prize check for $150,000. He defeated the reigning world champion for that game, a 20 year old man from Holland that goes by the screen name Vo0.

Johnathan is becoming more and more popular every day as he continues to shine as a Superstar in the world of professional gamers. He is a force to be reckoned with in the Cyberathlete Professional League. He has recently launched a line of Fatal1ty products that include such things as mouse pads, headsets and keyboards that are made specifically for playing video games. He has a marketing Guru named Mark Walden working with him and both expect to make millions of dollars selling these products to gamers worldwide.

The video gaming industry is expected to make $30 billion dollars this year selling video games and consoles for products like Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PSP. This is an enormous amount of money that is more than twice the yearly grosses of the NBA, NFL and Major League Baseball combined. With this kind of money involved and hundreds of millions of people playing video games all over the world the sport of professional video gaming is starting to attract major advertising sponsors and merchandising companies.

Professional video gamers are no longer just kids who are wasting their time spending endless hours playing video games. Many of them have managed to transform a hobby into a lucrative career. There are hundred of thousands, and even millions of dollars being made these days by gamers who travel the world (all expenses paid) and live like rock stars.

So the next time you think your child is spending too much time playing Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PC or PSP games you should not worry too much. If they show more than the average amount of interest in the sport of electronic gaming, try not to discourage them from playing video games. It is important for you to realize that they may not just be playing games when they sit down in front of their television or computer, they could also be training to be a world famous cyber-athlete millionaire.
