Minecraft: Minecraft in the past 10 years has been one of the most well known and popular games among young gamers. Although Minecraft in and of itself isn’t truly a game but more so a simulation where the player has to set their own goals to achieve a sense of accomplishment. Even people who are out of tune with the gaming world have somehow heard of this game. . When we played this game in class it was the first time that I had played the PC version but I did have previous knowledge on how to play and what to do, although there was a much more complex items menu than the last time I played it. Since Minecraft is an open world game there is nothing off-limits to the player and whatever you can conceive can be built. There are two options when it comes to playing the game, single or multiplayer. Then you can either survive based on your skill and operation of the game or you can go into creative mode and build anything you want to your heart's content. Overall Minecraft is a fun time wasting game that can give hours of enjoyment if you know what you want to do.
Farmville: First off, I hate games like this. They are a quick easy way to make money but I must admit that they are clever and good at what they do. Farmville will draw you in almost immediately and will make you feel a sense of accomplishment for everything you do and by doing so they get you to a point where if you’re not completing the task quick enough and not feeling like you won then you become willing to spend money on the game to get that feeling of “yay I did it”. This game is fun and addicting but in my opinion is a very cheap way to make money.
Katawa Shoujo: First of all this is a dating sim but not a “normal” one. This one involves a school made specifically for handicapped students and you play through to get an ending. Quite a bit of the dialogue is entertaining for the player but it is perverted most of the time. The game is replayable with several endings but after one play through, dialogue can become irritating unless it is important for a decision for the player has to make. Overall this game isn’t for you unless you want to sit and read for more than a few hours and then get mad when you don’t get the ending you wanted.
Super Meat Boy: This game is what I call a rage game. You can easily beat the levels if you take your time and plan out your moves but that’s not how this game works. You have to move quickly because the music messes with your mind and you try to follow the beat and screw-up. It follows a quick, fast pace that isn’t really required until you fight a boss or have a moving puzzle. This isn’t one of the showy games that can be expected now. No, it goes back to the basics of a game with a goal. The article in “Well Played” gives nothing but praise for the game and how it operates and I have to agree with them because no matter how frustrating it got or how angry the game made me I always came back for more.
Left 4 Dead 2: This is an innovative game for a first person shooter because most FPS are meant for one player to do the story but L4D2 allows multiplayer and at some points almost requires it for the scene/chapter to be beat. It is a fast paced game that requires you to have a good reaction time and for you to be a good team player. You have to be able to plan ahead and react on the fly. Overall this game is very good and allows for the expanse of what an FPS can and maybe should be.
