Top PC Download Games

Nowadays, downloading PC games has become a norm for many players. Gone are the days when long lines would form in front of video games store when the newest installment of Tekken or Final Fantasy was released. Now, players can - within a few clicks - get their favorite titles directly on their computer, without moving away from the screen. And thanks to the variety of titles available for download and the multitude of storefronts that offer them, downloading PC games has never been easier. Let's take a more in-depth look at downloadable PC games and see why they are so popular right now.

Better than retail?

Indeed a very controversial take is that downloading video games is a better option for players than buying them in boxes. No matter how many people you ask, the opinions on that matter will be divided. Some will say that downloadable PC games are the way and the future of selling these titles lies online. Others will claim that nothing will replace boxed games, and whoever downloads games risks installing potentially dangerous software on their device.

Wherever you stand on the scale, it's clear that download vs. retail is still a highly divisive topic. But even the most hardheaded opponents of downloading PC games must agree that there are some plusses to that solution.

Instant access and exclusive titles

It used to be that downloading the full version of a game would take forever. Now, thanks to better internet connections available to the masses, you can gain access to a downloadable video game within minutes. No more waiting in a line or counting minutes for the title to fully download. Some games even allow the player to play them as they download. That's only one of the perks of downloading PC games.

Another positive aspect of downloading is access to exclusive titles, especially the niche indie games. Many developers lack funds for a full-blown release sow they decide to drop their title online to reach a wider audience. That practice allows the player to experience titles that would definitely become lost on the shelves full of AAA titles.
