Unit 19 desktop project

The purpose of this task was to look and see what four genres look like and to see what makes a game go in  to a certain genre. The four genres I put in were Horror, Fantasy, Sci-fi and war. I used the Official Xbox 360 Magazine to find all these images.







Horror has things like zombies and should give the player a feeling of being left alone against a horde with a slim chance of surviving. dark colours also give the feeling of tension because the player will not want to go in to the shadows because they will not know what is lurking there.

Sci-fi has things like aliens for the player to interact with and futuristic weaponry for the player to use and space ships with different planets to explore a example of this is Mass Effect.

Fantasy has mythical creatures in this genre and has things that will not happen  in real life and has creatures that do not exist. Fantasy games usually take place in medieval times because game designers can put things like orcs in the game world and it would fit better unlike if the designers put a orc in a sci-fi game it would not fit as well.

war has explosions and people killing each other to win a war a good example of this is Gears of war humanity is trying to defeat the locust to survive this is a epic war. War games will always be liner with the occasional attack .

In my opinion I think that if I could have found more images for war and fantasy I would have had a better collage but other than that I think that it is ok because of  how I have over lapped  the demon creature with fantasy and horror because a demon could be classed as something from horror but at the same time it is created and is something that does not exist or resembles anything that does. I also think that the Sci-fi looks good because it really shows what is usually in Sci-fi story's like aliens, different planets, spaceships and robots and I think that that part of the college really shows the Sci-fi genre. I found war to be a hard genre to find anything to go to it so I found little scenes of characters  shooting at other characters and then moved on to people looking like they were prepared for war but I did not find a lot of them do so I could not put a lot on my collage.
