PC Games

PCs are one of the most popular platforms gamers use today and are often preferred over consoles like PlayStation or X-box. The first PC game is believed to be 1962's Spacewar! While PC games were originally fairly primitive, big video game releases are now usually released simultaneously on PC and consoles.
