Entry1.5/05.10.2010
It's not really been a week; but I'm off home after Thursdays' lecture and as such will not be posting again until that Monday evening, if I can be bothered.
This Tuesday was slightly more exciting than last; we got to play and analyse KS1 games. It turns out that a few of these games are short in certain areas which were highlighted in some very useful notes. These notes are more akin to simple headings derived from Costikyans article. The article itself was a very good reading material, although I enjoyed playing games I never truely understood why; this article gives the bare bones of what makes a game, but not what makes it nessessarily fun to play.
In the world of gaming it's not long until two big FPS's come out. Following in the wake behind Halo:Reach; Call of Duty:Black Ops and Medal of Honor. Both of these are set to be big hits, sadly CoD will always win. I always prefered more team based, realistic shooters. Now some may argue that CoD is realistic, it bloody well isn't but I will not have a rant about that.

It would be very handy if you could blog your response the Costikyan article and your response to it in relation the the KS1 game we looked at.
