Concept Gaming
“What? There’s a whole concept behind playing and making video games?”
Yes, yes there is =)
Last week or so, in my Internet and Society class, my professor showed us a segment by Charlie Brooker called “News Swipe”. It was an interesting little thing, hilarious and dead on about how news is reported. If you’d like to watch it go here. I liked the segment so I decided to search for more and found another segment called “Game Swipe”. Watching it reminded me of a class I took a few semesters ago called Concepts in Gaming. Thought it would be pretty cool to share it with the professor for that class, she liked it and decided to show it to her current group of students in the Gaming class. I thought it would’ve been a helpful clip to watch since it talks about different genres, concepts implemented, and how games are shown through the media. Usually non-existant or in a negative light. The segment touches upon several popular games and show no console discrimination. Yes, share the console love! I own all 3 so I can say that, lol
Hope you all enjoy the segment as much as I did =)
That was really good. It felt like he was reviewing bunch of the games at times (50cent, Wolfenstein, The Beatles Rockband), but at least he was funny and clever.
Fortunately, we haven’t seen any media outburst recently… hope it stays this way.
Yeah, I actually thought GTA4 wasn’t as flagged as the previous one. San Andreas was it?
