Are you still buying your new PC games at your local video game store? Paying premium prices and waiting for a sold-out game to arrive? These days it is much easier to download your new PC games from the Internet.

What’s the point of walking to the play store when you can have access to an unlimited number of PC games 24/7, downloading what you want, whenever you want? There are tons of sites online that allow you to do this, but as with everything online, you should beware of scams and poor services.

There are a few things to keep in mind when looking for a service to make sure you’re choosing a good site. There are many ‘torrent’ sites on the internet that you can use to download free games, don’t use them! As tempting as it may be to download free torrents, many of the files will be filled with viruses and spyware. A legitimate download site will only charge you a small one-time fee for their services (which is usually less than the amount of a second-hand game, anyway).

The best sites will include music, DVD-quality movies, TV shows and software, as well as new PC games, so make sure you’re getting all of these before you part with your money. Also check that the site has a money back guarantee in case you are not satisfied with the service and that they have a customer service if you need answers to any questions.

Keep these few rules in mind, and you’ll pick a decent site to download all your new PC games.
