To start of my assignments, i have learnt what machanics and dynamics are in games and the roles that they play. Do apply what i learnt i performed reviewed two different games: Mincraft by Mojang and DayZ mod for ARMA 2 by Bohemia Interactive.
Minecraft is a free roaming sandbox PC game developed by
indie games company Mojang. The game gives the player the ability to
interact with their world, allowing them to edit the terrain whilst being able
to craft and build with the resources they have collected, this was the first game to do this and is a
unique selling point to Minecraft. Minecraft isn’t all just building and
exploring; players also have to survive against hostile mobs that spawn in dark
areas of the map and at night while also hunting or farming to keep themselves
feed. The developers kept Minecraft on PC whilst in beta stages, this was as PC
is easier to update games on than a console game, more recently now the game is
out of beta and is a full release title Mojang have started to release
Minecraft on Xbox360 and even a mobile version on IOS5 for the IPhone.
Dayz is a PC zombie survival mod that was originally
added to combat simulator game ARMA2, and is soon to be released as a full
standalone game in the next few months by Dean “Rocket” Hall, in conjunction
with Bohemia Interactive (the makers of ARMA2). DayZ allows players to
experience a real time zombie apocalypses situation with some of the most down
to earth and realistic game play from any zombie shooter on the market. As well
is battling zombies, survivors will also be fighting each other for food,
weapons and medical supply’s all of which is needed to survive. DayZ is
currently PC only game as the developers
thought that keyboard and mouse navigation would be easier to use and get
though the in game GUI, although there is talk of a console release when the
game goes standalone.
