GENRES Genres though the years

many big different from past and present like for example those two picture.

On the top first picture you can see it tennis game in 2D in 1980 times that when the game was popular.

On the bottom second picture you can see it big different from 1980 because everything had change from 2D into 3D so you make your own character.

This second picture came from Wii game Tennis in 2010.

GENRES 2 Donkey Kong was so popular

game in 1980 on the old game console.

On the first picture is ‘Donkey Kong’ in 1980 that where the Super Mario have to climb up the ladder to save Peach his princess that Donkey Kong took from him.

On the bottom second picture is ‘Donkey Kong’ in 2001 it was not popular so it did change but it not the same without princess and Super Mario.

So most people still Unknown when the next new donkey Kong will release.

GENRES 3 Super Mario Bros always has a

level up different map to jump on for Super Mario in 1980 but big different in 2011.

First Picture is Super Mario Bros in 1980 show all of game in 2D and Super Mario always got to jump to missed bad guys and jump over things.

On bottom second picture show ‘Super Mario Galaxy’ big different that Mario not doing jump on bad guys and stuff but he flying in space with yellow star to many different worlds.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN GAMES Character

Developments that what type of software that developments artist to use to design a character for games as Hero, Bad guys and lots more.

Character Developments can be very hard work to do need getting a idea to design armour, body and lots more things to add in to make a Character look good to play.

This picture is shown that they design a ‘Ogre’ you can see the start order take long to design from dark grey into colour.

1980 GAMES 1980 games most of them

are in 2D so because that they didn't made 3D that time yet.

On first picture this is called ‘Pac Man’ they was very popular in their times in 1980 all you have to do is eat all yellow balls but don't meet up with colour squid so it can end the game.

On bottom second picture ‘Pong’ was number one games in 1980 times so it like a tennis in black and white.

CHARACTERS

My favourite Characters is ‘Spider Man’ I did play all of their games I notice that they been improving graphics and more wide city for Spider Man to swing round.

Those old game was very hard because of their graphics can be more difficult to see but the new one got lot better.

ANGRY BIRDS 2D GAME Angry Birds is very popular

in 2010 – 2013 it still going and they keeping making new update game theme every 3 to 6 months.

They started in 2010 on IPhone the picture on the bottom is the first game.

The new Super Mario Bros got lot of shadow, colour of background and the characters change colour.

ANIMATION Pixar is well known for their best

When they been made the lamp turn out it in their logo so their making new movies every year and the animation keep improving from before into now, you can see on bottom right picture.

Pixar always use the sad, happy and shocking story in their movies all of the movie is worth it to watch.

GAME TYPE

All of Game do have many different of Game Type.Those many different games do have game type like for example : Call of Duty this is First Shooter game and World of WarCraft is MMO and MMORPG.

Most popular game type is more likely MMO and Shooter because those game can be more fun but another game like puzzles those suit for older people if they use the game console.
