I strongly believe that music and sound is really important for games or TV. Without sound to a game it seems boring, unreal and less attractive. Sound is a huge impact to games or TV without music or sound it brings no thrill! For example if i was playing resident evil 5 without any sound or music just imagine how it would be? Just imagine! You wouldn’t jump with thrill throughout the game play all you would be doing is observing which sounds boring!! So yes i believe that sound or music is really important it also brings the emotion out of a game. Another example, Call of duty Modern Warfare and Metal gear Solid expressed its emotion through sound and music without music or sound it will feel lifeless and unemotional!
Whenever a trailer releases for a game it visualises with the graphics and it attracts it with the sound!! Sound is really important from my point of view!! What do you think? Just imagine yourself playing games without sound or music!! Would you enjoy it??
I could remember me playing God of War 1 and 2 sadly haven’t played 3 yet will do very soon! Anyways when i played god of war i loved smashing everything like boxes to get the orbs and killing every enemy but the excitement was done by gameplay and sound. The sound of smashing the boxes felt real and satisfying even the orbs had sound effect which made the orbs feel important!! Killing the enemies gave the sound of the sword slicing and the blood pouring sound expressed the realism and brutalism of the game. Throughout the game play you had to increase your weapon power with the orbs you obtained. After you increased the sword to level 2 it makes a sound like you’re becoming more powerful. This is why i strongly believe that sound brings realism and thrill from the game!

Week 17
What does a game engine do!! Well game engines relate to everything such as rendering 2D or 3D graphics, sounds, scripting, animation etc. mostly everything! Games are made through the engine!! Engines is the main software on making games but it is amazing how every games include different characters, different sounds, different graphics which leads you to think are they using the same engine!! I won’t say that one engine is used for every game but one engine is reused to make so many different games. Engine is based around anything such as computers, games, TV etc. most of the things include engine nowadays!! This is the reason to its popularity!!
Game engines have two ways which is a subtractive method and addictive method!
javascript:void(0)
Addictive method starts with emptiness what is usually called void!! And subtractive method is the opposite of the addictive method!!... The website stated below defines the true meaning...please have a read!!
(This website gives clear definition of the addictive and subtractive method)!!

Week 16
Game culture is about being influenced by video games and this popularity has increased magnificently which lead to influencing so many people and i am one of them =D
I love games that involve actions, violence or sport games such as FIFA 08, 09 and 10.A year ago i was a game freak that loved playing games i was mentally addicted and i constantly played every day!! Especially metal gear solid 4 and Call of Duty Modern warfare but now i don’t play as much! I do look for time but i fail to...reason being due to 3d max and visual design!! This is where it gets confusing!! =S
So am i a part of game culture? Was i? Well i don’t know. I basically believe i was!! Due to circumstances i had to put a break to it!! I know for a fact that i will be back in gaming in the summer holidays!!
I could remember when i played metal gear 4!! I absolutely loved that game to bits!! I can’t even explain!! That’s the only game i had to purchase on the release date!! There was a time where i completed the game a few times and then i went online and made few friends that i barely knew and they invited me to the clan because of the skills and accuracy I had!! I’m not making myself look big and i wasn’t the best player ever for Metal gear but i knew i was really good at the game!! I was more of a single player than a team worker but i gradually got better at team working which was done by text boxes or mails through the ps3 system and sometimes it would get so serious that we would be on the phone while we were playing the game! I definitely wouldn’t be a better team partner if the other people weren’t being controlled by real people!! What i mean is if i were playing with a computer i wouldn’t know what i lacked on!! If that makes sense!! All i knew was, the game felt real and it was fun and exciting that made the time fly! It was more satisfying playing a friend than a computer! I believe i fit i the game culture...that’s all guys hope i haven’t bored you to death with my gaming history =D.

Week 15
Game industry has a lot of positive side and negative sides!! Negative side is it could distract students from their educations and some games could make kids brighter! It all depends on the game!! Well that isn’t the point!! Media’s like TV and games will always sell for years as they are always at the top of the other media’s!!
There is a high chance that the media TV or games being stopped from selling as they always update their products, re model, re design and have stronger engine built it’s amazing how it sells constantly! The audience is the hugest help as it will always entertain adults to kids and it will lead them to buy the product!!
For example, cigarettes is bad for health which could cause lug cancer depending on how addicted you are but still this product is selling due to its popularity. The reason why i mentioned this is because game industry is kind of the same. It is only selling because of its popularity and it attracts a large number of audiences.
Look where the industry was and look where it is now!! Game industry is huge look how it’s advertised! So much money is invested for games!! There would be sign boards, advertises in the cinema, on internet etc. there is a lot more...I could go on forever!
Game industry will be going on for years and years so there is nothing to worry about but what they need to worry about is making new consoles, new games ad new controllers as they need to keep the audience satisfied as it’s the main key to its popularity. If they do lack they could face a lot of problems so they will need to stay at the top and keep the audiences satisfied and entertained.

Week 12-14
On the day we had the lecture from our tutor, Mike about what is creativity? Mike gave us a question asking us...what is creativity? We all stared at each other and replied nothing!! What was the cause? Was it because our minds where full with answers that caused the jam or was it because none of us knew the true meaning of creativity?
We all know what creativity is but from our own point of view that’s the reason why everyone stopped for that moment thinking is my definition of creativity correct which lead us to wait with silence until mike repeated the question!! Anyways back to... whatever i was talking about... Oh yeah...what is creativity... From my point of view creativity is what everyone has in them! It could be done individually or as a team work!! It’s basically the process of thinking and then expressing it on paper for art or on field or audition etc. creativity leads us to an idea which could be a fantastic idea or something really simple but it is still creativity!!
I truly believe that everything around the world is invested with creativity!!
Am i creative? It took me a while before my brained switched on and asked myself yes i am creative why? It’s because at the moment i am doing a course which involves a lot concept drawings and modelling objects on 3d max which is creative!! Thinking is not creative!! So if i was thinking about futuristic vehicles is not creative until you start to concept draw on paper!! There’s a lot of subject that are creative i don’t want to mention any as it could be offensive to some people!! Anyways there was a time where i was stuck in between two creative subjects which were art and drama! I loved both of the subjects but i have no regrets on choosing art. =D but you will always have the thought in mind...what if i chose drama!! What if?!
Back to lecture!! Mike was mentioning many other things that revolved around creativity that i didn’t know about which lead me to confusion until it was explained and that was nothing else but my favourite sport football! It’s just an example of me saying anything could be creative without any realization until you start thinking deep!
Is our course creative?? Of course it is!! I always thought anything related to art was creative!! But the course i am doing is largely creative! Cause it involves a lot of concept drawings, different style of drawings, 3d modelling and a lot more!! It makes me feel proud that I’m doing a course that involves me to a lot creativeness!! Why? Cause creative is fun, entertaining and interesting to what level it expands to and leaves you with a thought which will be discovered until you get your ass moving!! =D

Week 11
What is game play?? Well game play is a combination of graphics, environment and storyline!! From my view game play is really important. Me as a gamer i will always want to play a game that has brilliant graphics that looks realistic such as Modern Warfare 2, God of war 3 etc. i strongly believe that graphics being so realistic draws the gamer into it... Emotionally!! Game play always need to be stringed or connected and that is done by story line! Storylines gets you into the game and leaves you thinking, what is going to happen next??!! Storyline could never finish with expectation!! It is always unexpected! It will keep the gamer excited and interested to carry on with the game as they are willing to know how it ends??!
I am not saying that people won’t play a game that hasn’t got a storyline but i know for a fact that more people are interested and excited when it involves storyline. Some games leave you unsatisfied such as call of duty!! This is where it becomes repetition. This could be an advantage or disadvantage!! For me modern warfare 2 was a brilliant game but it finished really fast and left me wanting more so i started to play the game several times until i was satisfied.
There are some gameplay that will satisfy you such as Final fantasy! It has brilliant graphics and a long extended storyline that will keep the gamer satisfied until it ends! Different game has different set of rules! Overall i strongly believe that game play is really important!!
