Game Designing

Designing a game takes months maybe even a year or two. Look at the company Bungie, they made the Halo series, Although Microsoft did make the first halo game. Every three years Bungie would make a new Halo title which is actually a very good set wait time because it allows them to think of a new storyline. It also allows them to think of new game-play and just how the game is in general. Bungie has moved to a different company now, they are going to work for Activsion as they have signed a ten year contract with them. I guess that it would be interesting to become a game designer but it takes a lot to become one.

Video Gaming

Video gaming is more than just an activity it teaches us about how a game was put together, we almost become game designers as a community. The game designer at Treyarch are taking their new title very seriously. They are taking advice on what to do from the video gaming community. Much effort is put into console and PC games alike but some titles may have different creators. My preferences in game genre are war games and Wild West times and a few others here and there but mostly war games. There are three companies battling for the top rank there names are Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. I really enjoy console gaming and I encourage other to do the same.


PC Gaming

Playing on a PC is a completely different animal as opposed to console gaming. The reason why this is, is because there are hundreds of upgrades you must make to your game and computer frequently as opposed to the console. There are several dedicated servers for the PC games as for console where there is just a handful of servers. The price is also very high as well because you have to go out and buy the desired game then perform more updates and upgrades which cost more money, as opposed to console where you can just go out and buy the game and start playing. I don't like to play PC games as my computer runs extremely slow whenever you try to play games for the PC. Overall I don't really like to play PC games and I believe that console and their games are much better.
