How to choose a computer game thats right for you?
« on: July 09, 2007, 08:48:00 PM »
Hello world im typeing this thread to help people choose a game that there willing to play and not get bored of in about 30 secs.......

Genre

Ok 1st things 1st think about what you would most like to do in real-life but you cant , making such a decision  will inable you to decide what sort of genre of game your looking for , whether it be shoot a cop  ::) or cut someone on half  :-X ..... 2nd make sure you have the right platform , chooseing a platform is vital for gaming most people see these new games in the shop and say oh this looks good and they realise the controls dont work for them and the views suck.......chooseing a platform is simple

Platform list:

Action
Activity
Board Game
Cheatware
Classic
Driving
Education
Fighting
Flight
Lifestyle
Music
Office
Online
Party
Pinball
Platform
Point and Click
Puzzle
Quiz
Racing
Reference
Role Playing
Sport
Strategy
Utility[/center]

Platform and online play

Thats a list of most of the platforms i can think of to date...once you have choosen a platform , next you may want the feature to play the game online , have you ever noticed a sigh in a game saying . NOTE: GAME EXPREINCE MAY CHANGE ONLINE will to be frank it does , gameing online can sometimes offer more options in the game itself sometimes more unlocks......and and get a major buzz from teamwork on teamplay options within game settings playing online can really boast your gaming options and the game wont sit in the rack all dusty ;D

Age rating

Once you have choosen the listen above you next want to choose the age rating now , depending if your buying the game for someone thats of a young age you will notice movie type certificates located on the bottom right of the game . 12 15 18+..... if your kid is nagging on and on about a game he really wants but it is 18 plus i would recommend not getting it due to the realism to todays gaming your children could find some of it scary or worse yet amuseing so its best to keep to the age rateing....

Mutliplayer options:

With this option it allows you to deside whether the game your playing can be played with more than one person , sometimes some games are mainly made for this option if you do deside on a multi-player game be sure it has a good overall rateing buy the official magzine of your console , buying these magazines can sometimes help in the buying process as they offer some very good constructive criticism and you wont be under pressure from the games sales men when all they seem to say is YH ITS GREAT I HAVE A COPY MYSELF so dont be fooled people... :)


Thats all i have left to say ....... :)   I hope this helps some people.....

Very true... I quit wow and started playin real life!!!!!
LoL it can suck the life out of you if you don't control how much you play. The problem with that is when you're playing, you don't ever want to stop and keep procrastinating real life issues just to play  :o
i'm guilty of this  ::)
