1. a game that has realistic graphics
BattleField 3: Although it can be debated
wether or not the game has the most realistic graphics in the sense of visual
presentation, the game does mimic reality in multiple ways. The game allows the
player to experience what it would really be like on the battlefield in a war.
The soliders talking to each other ("Cover me, Im reloading!") , the
glare of flashlights being shinned in your face, the momentary deafness
caused by a near by explosion and even the learning curves of operating
a vehicle (Day one of the games release, no one knew how to fly a jet.
people would keep crashing into mountains or buildings. I'v had experiences
were i would crash on the landing pad. As time went on, people learned how to
fly, some becoming masters at it.) The games purpose is entertainment, but it also gives the player a
taste of what war is like.
(Except for the part about respawning shortly after you die. That
does not happen in real life.)
2. A
game that has abstract graphics
Super
Mario 64: This game was awesome. The game immersed the player in the Mario
universe and all its wackiness. Jumping through portraits as a portal to a
variety of world ranging from open fields, artic wonderlands, fire lands and
deserts. The game does not try to mimic or simulate reality, but instead the
game makes it so that the player accepts its abstractness as reality without
much thought.
3. A
2D game
Super Mario Brothers: This game is accepted as the best
game ever made. The game is purely a side scroller. The player can only move
his character in four directions: up, down, right and left. The game mechanics
do not change much throughout the game, and the camera view of the character is
always the same. The player can only see the side views of the character, the
player cannot see the front or back.
4. A 3D game
Jak and Dexter: This is a personal favorite
game of mine that I used to play when I was a kid. The world was all done in
3D, where the player can see all sided to any object or any character. The
player would see the front, back, and sides of each character. The player could
also see several environmental factors that could not be see in a 2D view. The
player was able to explore what was behind that building or rock while in a 2D
game the player could not.
5. a game that uses first person, third person
or both
Dead Space: This game gives the player a third
person view of the character and the world. In this particular game the player
has a view of what is in front of the character by having a view point of a few
meters behind the character. The camera can be angled so that you can see what
is behind the character by looking at the characters front. Think of a camera
man video walking around the character as he is performing tasks.
6. A game that originally was created for the
real world and has been reinvented in “game world”
Skate: This game literally takes the real world
activity of skateboarding and turns it into a video game. I really don’t know
what else to say. You skateboard around, race people, participate in
tournaments and eventually become a professional skateboarder. This is what
happened in the real world before it became a video game.
7. A game that has a vivid, compelling and
memorable storyline
Assassins Creed (series): This game series, I
believe, has a very interesting story line. It suggests that two orders are
battling for control on society, both with their images of what will is best
for the world. One side believing that order and strict control of the masses
is the only way to bring peace to the world, the other side believes that
freedom and liberty is best, so that the people could choose how their futures
will play out. These two forces meet each other all throughout history in the
past and present.
The story of the series is compelling, interesting and, at least
for me, memorable.
PS: I have no idea why the text came out the way it did.
