WildBlue helps answer Gamers Questions

However if you are looking to play games such as Star Craft, Diablo, etc, you will be fine as long as you are in 1-on-1 modes. If you want to get a full insight from a gamer’s perspective, the following forums can give you in depth answers that you may be looking for.
Although if you are looking to get WildBlue service or already have it and your thinking about purchasing an Xbox360, Playstation3, or Wii for Christmas for you or your kids. Then I would suggest the Wii system, which actually lets you play games online without any true latency issues. The only thing with playing Wii on line is they have 24 hour download service (WiiConnect24) that can use up a lot of your allotment time or Fair Access Policy (FAP). So while playing Wii games will work, parents will need to make sure they monitor whoever is playing, so they do not go over the allotted time per month. Given the fact that you will be gaming with your Wii system online, I would suggest that you go with the Pro Pack that gives you 17G of download time per month. The following forum will give you a Wii gamer’s perspective for using WildBlue.
Now if your like me and you only play games on websites for fun like Solitaire, Blackjack, or Poker you should be fine with Wildblue and shouldn’t experience any latency issues at all. If you’re a parent or looking for a website which you can allow kids ages 3 an up to play learning and fun games then I would suggest Nickelodeon’s game website http://www.nick.com/ .You and your children will be able to play games like – Shockwave: Drift ‘n’ Burn 3, The Penguins of Madagascar: Race For The Zoo Cup, Addicting Games: Moto Rush 2, Nick Arcade: All Grown Up Krazy Karts (AD), The Mighty B! Chelsea’s Challenge, The Wild Thornberrys: 3D Chopter Chase (AD), Jimmy Neutron: Invention Revenge (AD), Addicting Games: Moto Rush, Shockwave: Soccer Mom, Shockwave: Speed Racer The Great Plan, Shockwave: Zoo Haul, Barnyard: Otis’ Chopper Challenge, KCA 2009: Fast Lane Dwayne, Shockwave: Shaun The Sheep Lamb Rover 4×4, Jimmy Neutron: Space Blast (AD), Nick Arcade: Snail Mail (AD), El Tigre: Rapido Racer, Rock ‘n Road Tour, The Naked Brothers Band: Rock ‘n Road Tour, SpongeBob SquarePants: Halloween Horror, Franken Bob’s Quest Part II, SpongeBob SquarePants: Halloween Horror, FrankenBob’s Quest Part I, The Troop: Vespinox Escape, Shockwave: Panda’s Big Adventure, Hans Hans the Biking Viking: Leaving Loki’s Lockup, and SpongeBob SquarePants: Viking Hiking, plus many more.
If you’re a little older and your looking for a good place to play games online then I would suggest where you can play current and games from the past like – 110m Hurdles, Lunar Mission, Mad Numbers, Magnet Towers, Airborne Pro, Alien Abduction, Maze Race, Amazon Solitaire, Memory Test, Antarctic Racer, Mighty Spidy, Mini Putt, Armored War, Art of War, Mobs Down, Battle Tank, Ben 10 Underworld, Big fish hunting, Ninja Master, Black Jack, Old School Racer, Boulder dash, Plop Art Sudoku, Poker 5×5, Prison Basketball, Checkers, Crazy Taxi, Shape Shifter, Dirt Bike 2, UFO Attack, and Zombie invaders 2.
So yes WildBlue is available for gaming it just depends on what system you are looking to access through WildBlue. Just keep in mind there is a FAP, so make sure you do not leave your system hooked up if you are not using it. It’s kind of like your parents telling you when you were young to always turn the lights off when you were done.
Another thing that will benefit any WildBlue customer or Gamer is in early 2010 WildBlue and ViaSat will be launching a new satellite that will allow WildBlue customers to get High Speed access of 2-8 Mbps which is what most current DSL services provide.
