Downloadable games are enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether someone is a casual player or a gaming genius, game players still want the world’s best games along with unique and incredible game experiences.

So with that in mind, what if you could download games or play online easily and simply? What if you could do this whether you had a PC or a Mac? What if you could play the games you love and have them always at your fingertips? What if you could play your favorite online games while knowing your computer was absolutely safe from viruses?

Too good to be true, you say? Not at all. There are some outstanding gaming websites where the games are always flowing and always virus-safe; and where you can find countless downloadable games at your fingertips while enjoying an affordable membership that is designed with you in mind.

Many of the best gaming sites have multiple membership options so that members can design a plan around their interests and desires- not to mention their pocketbooks. Therefore, whether you are looking for free downloads or top games that you can buy and own, there are plans that suit these specific needs. Of course, the hottest gaming sites offer the most popular new game releases currently in demand; these games come from the very best game publishers in the world and are always sought after.

One last thing: If you are a game developer (and most gamers certainly dream of developing their own games) and have an interest, some gaming sites will actually help you distribute your games! Imagine having your games online with gamers, like yourself, actually downloading these products that you have designed and developed. Now this is a true gamers’ dream come true.

Amazon’s been struggling to keep up in the new ebook market. With Apple fast encroaching and stealing away publishers with the promise of more flexible contracts, Amazon’s trying to keep its hand deep in the content cookie jar, in some cases with threats. But Amazon knows that books aren’t the only frontier. As some recent job postings show, the company is looking to get into game download distribution, like Valve’s Steam.

The news comes from Lazard Capital, market analysis firm that says, “As in other segments of digital media, we expect Amazon to pursue new opportunities as an aggregator of online games, similar to Steam (PC), BigPoint (browser) and others.” It would put Amazon in an interesting position that no one else holds in the market, sort of like the Wal-Mart of digital media. If this is true I’d say it’s entirely possible to see them get into the video market as well, with some sort of answer to the iTunes platform. I know plenty of people that currently choose Amazon for music over the Apple alternative.

The news is backed up by claims that Amazon is hiring somewhere in the range of 1,000 new employees, many of whom will be software developers.
