The dilemma facing many new Iphone owners is whether they should download games to play on it or should they just use the built in web browser to play online browser games.The main argument is there are far more games available to download than there are to play online.
Generally , if all you are looking for is to pass the time it can be worthwhile to just use the online games. Even if you aren’t aware of them, it’s relatively simple to find playable browser games Just do a quick internet search and this will usually reveal hundreds if not thousands of them.
This is seems fantastic news. However, online games are usually inferior in quality to the games you would download. You will need to be in an internet service area to be able to play them as well. This can be problematical if you are travelling on a bus or train or other transport, as the signals can easily be dropped in these circumstances, which means the game goes byebye!
Fortunately, downloading Iphone games does not need to be as expensive as you may first believe. It can be expensive for some games , but if you can find some of the better sites around, you’ll find there’s an abundance of games and utilities available for you to download for free.
This seems OK, but it can be a little dangerous if you aren’t well prepared, so check out these guidelines first:
1- Keep away from Peer 2 Peer or file sharing sites.
Downloading from sites like this is illegal in many countries and territories, so if you do want to use them be sure to check your local laws and regulations. It’s fairly straightforward for the authorities to trace downloads , so don’t break the law unless you want to go to jail.
2-Keep your computer safe
Downloading files and games etc can be a great way to get a mass of viruses and malware & adware. Therefore it is important to make sure your security software is up to date and functioning correctly.

3-Be prepared to pay for access.
Some of the better sites will charge you an administration fee before they grant you access to their download database. This sounds is not as bad as it sounds. You will have access to many MP3s and movies and games as well. This generally gives great value for money.The libraries they own are large and you can normally download without limits.
