There are many different types of games around, and there are also a lot of different people making them. Everyone has their own ideas about how games should look and what games should do. These can depend on whether the game is based on a film or character you already know about, or whether it is an entirely new idea.

Quite often the amount of time and the number of people working on the game will affect how much the game can do. So a game that is developed over the course of a year by hundreds of people will have lots more in it than a game that has been developed in one week by a team of five people!

You can find games about all types of things: sports, action, outer space, adventure, and classic games like chess. The choice is endless, so there's hours of fun to be had for everyone, no matter what type of game you prefer.

But there are also a lot of things that games have in common… can you think of any? Check out Top Games and you'll see.
