Video Game Reflection Paper

Many video games use visuals to mentally immerse gamers into a virtual world filled with seemingly living, breathing people, animals, or cities. According to Michael Samyn and Auriea Harvey, game designers for Tale of Tales, video games increasingly develop into a true medium of artistic expression (Lamb). In just forty years, video games transformed from an abuse of the new computer for entertainment purposes into a sophisticated form of popular art. The development of video games recently produced results that arguably equal other similar, representational arts. Video games share many qualities with other forms of art, but they are also artistically significant in their own way. “This seems to be something

Other boys were interested in video games or action figures; I was more interested in American girl dolls and cooking. For my fifth birthday, I asked for a Polly Pocket but my parents said that it was too girly so they got me a stuff bear instead that I could dress up. I cherished the bear. I spent many enjoyable hours dressing that bear and took it everywhere with me.

Video games are a profound art form, incorporating trades and mediums that span the artistic spectrum and beyond. To refute this is to ignore decades of rich history, disregard hours of artful labor, and discredit the immeasurable devotion of many whom worked to perfect this art form. Although video games may not suit every individual’s tastes, one cannot claim with credibility they possess no artistic merit.

I had always wanted to program, not just anything. I wanted to program video games. Not just any video game. I wanted to to program the greatest game ever made.

Maybe it's just my nerves getting the best of me. This would be the game of a lifetime and it would be my last game whether we win or lose. The High School championship basketball game would be filled with press and crawling with college coaches eager to offer the students that stand out the most amongst the others. My knee was still bothering me, but I wouldn't let that hold me back from giving my all for the last game of my senior year. Everyone was pumped, we knew it was now or never. We were more than prepared to win this game. We started our pregame dance, as usual, I was always first to start us off because the team agreed I had the most rhythm. I did a few dance moves, a bit of twerking and a few other things my parents probably wouldn't approve of, but it was all for kicks and giggles. After my dancing, I returned to my spot in the circle and waited for the next person to go in.

Back in fourth grade everyone was playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. I wanted it and a PS3 to play it on. I begged my mom for it and she said no many times. She said no everytime. I kept asking her if I could get it. Christmas came and I only had one present left. The present seemed fairly big and heavy. I had absolutely no clue what it was. I was opening the gift when I saw the P and the S of PS3. I got so happy and starting ripping through the paper. Finally I got it all open and saw that it was a PS3 with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. I was so happy that I was nearly in tears. That was one of my favorite Christmases.

Video games in today’s society have become very popular. Every new game that comes out to be played and conquered by the average gamer has its own category. There are several other types of genres of games that people play but because of big hit titles and the new popular game systems like the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, people become more interested in a game that is well known than a game they have never even heard of before. Every game has its own storyline and own way of how it unfolds and where the game ends according to game play. Some of the biggest reasons people sway to certain genres of games is because of the game titles released under them and the demand of people who want a good game under that category.

There is no widely accepted definition of what an indie game is, but there are a few defining characteristics. Indie games, or independently developed games, are usually developed by a small team without the funding of a publisher. Usually the companies that make these games are specifically formed to create these small games. These companies (due to the lack of a publisher) have total creative freedom for their games and no limitations on what can be in these games. They often touch on delicate and sensitive subjects that mainstream games would not. The fact that these teams are small but still have the ability to touch on sensitive topics in the world with their games. The fact that they have no controlling parties have made independently developed games, synonymous with innovation and creative

I remember my family and I finishing our yummy, grilled peanut-butter sandwiches that my dad would always cook. I walked out outside, it was a beautiful, sunny day on a Saturday. It was about 70 degrees. The breeze felt amazing like you could just be outside for hours. Kids were outside playing on their play sets, seeming to not have a worry in the day. I've always wanted something that I could actually ride instead of just a fake four-wheeler that little kids had. When I first got one, I of course begged and begged my dad to take me for a spin. I wanted to learn, and I was very happy to get to ride this big, blue bike. He was always busy, but he made

Growing up one of the first things I remember was my dad building me a computer, by today's standard it's about as powerful as a toaster, but to me when it was so cool. I had a thing that I could do with as I pleased, I could play all the games my dad had bought,. aAll the amazing stuff I could find on stuff around the house, and just the joy of learning to use it, along with
