Nintendo Wii (Sports)















Nintendo Wii (Sports)
This is the game that kept me playing for more than 15minutes for my personal analysis. The game that I chose are Baseball, Bowling, Tennis, Golf and Boxing, every one of them is very unique in a sense it trains your physical and not by just pressing those remote buttons but it also requires you to move around within your limited space and play the sport games as in real world and by all means it trains your mental as well. This will be my second time to try on something like this and I know this game being release in the market for quite some time and it is not new but to me the style of playing is still fresh and I like it.

For the first time the way I play I thought it was simple as walking as I try on myself for the game called Tennis at fist I have no idea how it works to get the ball started then later as I get familiar with it, everything went pretty nice and I had quite a lot of fun playing non stop and I got to say I love it.

On top of that not just by swinging the ball, it has been said before and I found out that every one of these game has its techniques to play, one of the example in Tennis I found that in order to serve the ball hard you need to swing hard and slightly twist your wrist so that the ball goes fast and it spin, well something like that and if you know these skills it will be handy in your next challenge.

Things I like about this Nintendo Wii and the games :
1.The white color video game console
2.The simple tennis game
3.I like the sound emits for the remote
4.Tennis, Boxing, Baseball

Things I do not like about this Nintendo Wii and the games :
1.I know the fact that the straps are for safety purpose but I think the designer should consider about making it into a glove kind of a remote and that will be cool instead.
2.I personally dont think is cute enough for those character design, they look weird.
3.It is weird to connect to both side and holding it while the long cable swing around and it feels something is distracting.

Gear of War 2

History
Gears of War is a third-person shooter video game, developed by Epic Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios. It was initially released as an exclusive title for the Xbox 360 in November in North America, Australia, and most of Europe and included a "Limited Collector's Edition" with added content and an art book titled Destroyed Beauty that detailed much of the game's back-story. Featuring new content including additional campaign levels and a new multiplayer game mode.

About the game
The game focuses on the soldiers of Delta Squad as they fight to save the human inhabitants of the fictional planet Sera from a relentless subterranean enemy known as the Locust Horde. The player assumes the role of Marcus Fenix, a former prisoner and war-hardened soldier. The game is based on the use of cover and strategic fire for the player to advance through the scenarios; a second player can play cooperatively through the main campaign to assist. The game also features several online multiplayer game modes for up to eight players.

In the game play, I think my character looks really cool and filled with full equip insane weapons and the best you get to see his facial expression I mean the face rather just cover all up from head to toes armored.

Things I like about the game:
-The character design
-The Graphics
-The battle ground
-The weapons

Things I dont like about the game:
- The story telling takes up quite long in the game
- Hard to aim
- I dont think it can walk side way, crouching or ducking.
- When received call from his units, you can only walk but not run as your teammates already reach the next place and you might not catch up.
- These weapon looks mighty and sophisticated but cannot shoot through the wall or some thin layer of metal.

Grant Theft Auto 5
























Grant Theft Auto 5

Grand Theft Auto (GTA) is a video game series created by Scottish game programmer Dave Jones, later by English brothers Dan Houser and Sam Houser, and game designer Zachary Clarke and primarily developed by Rockstar North (formerly DMA Design) and published by Rockstar Games.

The gameplay consists of a mixture of action, adventure, driving, and occasional role-playing, stealth and racing elements and has gained controversy for its adult nature and violent themes.

This game has a lot fun is the fact that it able to stimulate you into a digital visual-realistic world, it is a realistic game based on current modern objects and environment. The best part about the game is when you can really feel completely free to do whatever you want and of course breaking the rules is what the game is really all about(stick with your mission).

Things I like about the game are:
- You get to cruise around the city, vandalism, hurt/kill people, shooting, and do the jobs.

Things I dont like about the game are:
- I would rather play it on PC than in video game because when pointing a shoot whether at point blank or far away, it take awhile to adjust your crosshair and by the time you did you already half dead (Busted !).
