What makes great online games so popular? Is it because most online games are free, or is it because they seem to have a mysterious way of going viral? Some believe its mostly due to clever marketing, which is very important, and some think its simply because a game is free it has a better chance of going viral and gaining massive popularity. But true gamers all agree that none of these things have anything to do with a game's success. Although there are now hundreds and thousands of free and paid online games, the same old basic fundamental characteristics are the only thing that determines the true success and popularity of all video games. Simple controls, easy navigation, incentive based challenges, in depth back story, and interesting characters. No amount of marketing or fluff can take the place of these critical and basic attributes of an awesome video game, free or paid for. Judge for yourself, http://www.rustytoken.com
