When the Xbox 360 Arcade came out i got it with Geometry Wars and UNO, but my favourite game on the console was Halo 3.


At the time Halo 3 was the greatest looking game on the console as it had innovative graphics and massive level design.It was revolution at the time as it introduced the forge map editor for a new generation console.

My favourite games on PS4 so far are: 

DOOM



Until Dawn 

Tomb Raider Definitive Edition
 

Skyrim Definitive Edition 
 

Dear Ester Landmark Edition

 
GTA V
Lords of the Fallen

My Top Ten Games

My Top Ten Games                                       In the list below is my top ten games, these are the games I play on a regular basis and I enjoy(ed) the most . The Metro Series The Metro series is a first person post-apocalyptic survival horror game. The game has two play through modes. Spartan which makes the game action orientated and gives players more resources. The other play through style is survival where resources are limited, AI are much harder to defeat and slower reload speeds. The games' artstyle is exaggerated in the subterranean world but the creatures in the game are cartoonish.      Metro Redux Trailer Lords of the Fallen  Lords of the Fallen is a fantasy action RPG. Its difficulty level has been compared to Dark Souls and Bloodborne for its hard bosses and the rage inducing gameplay. The combat in the game is letting us have fun without pain. Even thought the game is 17 hours long its still an awesome but gruelling experience.

Trends in Game Development

Trends in Game Development Introduction In this article I will be explaining the current industry and marketing trends. In the second part I will be briefly writing about Financial Issues. Current Market Trends The current market trend is what gamers want to play and on which devices they would play it on. For example when Pokémon Go came out everyone who played it thought it was revolutionary as it used AR (Augmented Reality) to interact with the real world. So later this year (2017) or in the future we might see more games using AR. Another popular style of making the game feel realistic is VR (Virtual Reality) last year we saw a rise in the VR market as companies were bringing out VR headsets and VR supported games as VR was and still is popular.  Types of Audiences In the games industry companies create games to appeal to the audience and what’s popular at the time. But when developers create games they look at a certain type of audience and make a game tha
