Internet
games refer to online video
games that are played over the Internet.
These include browser
games, play-by-email
games, MMORPGs,
MUDs,
and multiplayer games such as Counter-Strike
and Halo.
Internet games usually allow people to play together, although
in the case of some browser games this is sometimes limited
to a shared "high score" list. Many Internet games
have associated online
communities, making Internet games a form of social activity
beyond single player games.
