I’ve recently signed up for two “game download” sites as a reward for my children.  I have to say it was with great trepidation I did so.  I have heard so many negative things about these site - you download viruses, the quality is dreadful etc etc etc.

That’s why I chose the two sites I did.   Both of these sites allowed me to download games prior to purchase and test them.  Both sites had clear statements about the “cleanliness” of their downloads.

An interesting side effect of signing up to these two sites, is that my Husband and I can both play games as well.  It’s been an interesting weekend, as we both decided to download something to play.

The two sites I choose:

Real Arcade - offers a Game Pass at $10 a month.  For that fee you get a free game every month and a discount of $5 on every other game purchased.  The Game Pass is free for the first month and you get to keep your free game if you don’t renew it.  The range of games offered is fantastic.

BigFish Games - Offer a free game  download every day.  You get to try out the game before you buy it.  I got hooked on Paradise Pet Salon and spent most of Sunday playing it.  This site lets you choose your membership level as well to meet your budgetary needs.  Visit the site to check out the other great offers as well.

If you like to kick back and play PC games, then these two sites are well worth visiting.  Download a few games, try them out and then decide to join the clubs.

With the increase in the speed of Internet connections available to most households, it has become extremely easy for many of us to  download full version movies from the comfort of our own home.

We really no longer need to go the DVD store to buy or rent a DVD - we can just as easily download the movie we are after, right to our computer.  With the extra advances in technology that we have experienced, it is just as easy to burn the movies to a DVD so you can watch it on your TV, or you watch it on your PC, or you can download it to your portable device and watch it anywhere!

The advantages to a user of downloading movies are obvious. The Variety and the freedom to choose our full version movie downloads are almost endless. A search of the InterNet found over 82 million WebPages, many of them offer to download full version movies for free.

The disadvantage is that the amount of offers you are presented with could be overwhelming. Like going into a huge toy store and try to decide which toy you want to buy. That wouldn’t be so bad, especially when you are presented with so many free offers. “Toys you can get for free”…. BUT all that “free” stuff offered across the net could be very dangerous for your computer’s safety.

Downloads from an unknown sources could carry viruses and spyware that could attack your computer and cause great damage.

Another issue that must be addressed and to many of us ignore is the violation of copyright laws. There are quite a few online movie download sites that permit you to download free full version movies but they are illegal. It is of outmost importance to only download copyright free and piracy free movies.

The most effective way to ensure that you are downloading legal and “clean” movies, it to sign up for the well established Paid Online Movie Sites.  Sure, they’re not fee however, for a small one time membership fee you can download unlimited full version versions - legally.  You can even get access to the most current movies, games and music as well.

One of the problems I found with some of the free movie download sites, is that the movies are of low quality and the site download speed are slow.  Paid movie download sites, on the other hand, offer superb quality movies and the download speed is much faster.

For a great site, check out Movies and Music Downloads.

To make sure you have protected your PC - always use AntiVirus and AntiSpyware software.  I recommend the PCTools suite of products.
