The educational game: Privates

In having just played this educational game which is aimed to teach children above the age of 14 the effects and severity of sexually transmitted diseases through a game. it does this by allowing the gamer to take the role of a team of fighter's who are inside the organs fighting off these horrid infections. I found the game to be intriguing along with educational. In having said that the game does lack variety and after a short period of time it became very predictable.

Opinion of Gaming

There is a wide variation of Gaming. The most common of which being Game consoles which consist of the x-box and playstation. They are appealing to not only children but adults alike. I have a possitive outlook on the whole idea of gaming. I myself have a playstation in which i use occasionally. The idea of playing a game in which your character starts off as an immigrant who has no money and accomadation; becomes a multi-millionair through you choosing the criminal path he takes is very intreguing. The life-like scenarios allow the gamer to relate to a particular situation or even desire a particular lifestyle. The game in which i am speaking on in Grand Theft Auto in which is currently the greatest selling game. Another game in which people tend to enjoy in call of duty as of its close relations to conflict worldwide it gives people the insight of what happens in terms of tactics and plans during warfare. The idea of playing online with your friends is highly arousing as everyone has a competative edge. I feel as though the idea of progressing and being 'better' than your friends on a particular game is possitive for most. In having stated that i am occasionally a gamer, i find myself for only being able to play a game for an hour at a time as i have a short attention span. I'am a very outdoors person as i am a competative mountain bike enthusiast.
