Persuasive games and Future Gaming

I haven't really thought of what to see if i were being asked about games. I think it's just like a genie never thought of what to wish for because no one ask them before. I think games is like a drug to me, it is something that you can't get rid of just like a part of yourself. It helps you to get entertained and you can also learn something from it as well.


Games comes in many forms be it blocks of wood, papers, sticks, PC, Xbox, Playstation, PSP, DS etc. and you can say that all these are build because of gamers. Games are definately getting more and more intense with the latest technology and awsome graphics.


Since young we have already been introduced to games. Mini games like building blocks, matching the correct shapes, playing with colours. we even played traditional games like hop scotch, five stones, pick up sticks etc.


Now that we have play kids games we were introduced to another game call the board games like chess, Monopoly, Life etc. And it gets bored later on haha..

Every game has a purpose and rules to follow, rules like how many people can play the game, what objectives should players meet, what procedures to do before playing (eg. shuffling cards, distribute cards etc), Strict rules to follow at all cost in game, resources to use in game, what are the various conflicts they get (eg. if i were to attack this monster and i notice that my level is a lot lower and i am bound to die), what boundaries do i have (eg. stay within the box) and the outcome of the game whether is it fun, boring, interesting.

Pervasive games is such a big deal that Tokyo Game show is really a success. People from all over the world would come down and take a look not to mention that we have to queue 1 and a half hour to get in and you can never see finish everything/try all the games demo there. Each game waiting time is about 90 mins even buying stuff we have to queue to get in the shops, grab the things we want and queue to pay.

I definately see alot of cosplayers because it's the chance for them to showcase their self and it's like role playing in real life. When your a female and you role play a guy characters it is so interesting because you need to be him!

In life, we make our own decision, play our own journey and create our own endings. We can do what we want to do and make the best our of it but how many people actually does that? Some would just wait for the sky to fall knowing that it will fall eventually but some will live to the fullest even if it's end of the world. There are games that helps people to achieve something in life as well like the Amazing race, Survivor and facebook. Anyone can play the games and well they feel a sense of achievement onces in a while and it's really satisfying.

I once watched an anime .Hack is about a girl playing as a guy in a game. The game starts when one puts on the goggles and it feels like reality since what ever you see is different from the one place you're at now. It's like being there but not there kind of feeling.

I love playing Wii because it creates great audience interaction and it can make players exercise as well. Once you tried it you will never want to let it go. It's so addictives and the experience that you get from it is so real and it's all about fun =D

Transformation of media is like an in thing now that we can see 3D television sold anywhere. All you have to do is to put on the 3D Goggles and sit back and relax. Sitting at your own house with your own TV. It's even way cooler than watching it at the cinema because you can pause it? haha.. Well we use media to advertise and media is use in many other ways as well be it advertising Macdonals in Monopoly form or using media to educate kids like High Five, Barney, Micky Mouse. Games are even used in military as well like flight training and now when we learn motocycle to get the license some of the facility they use machines to test the testers instead of new motobikes. Hmm i don't know how safe it will be but since they are doing it so why not?

Now that they even have games in computers created just for BABIES! When i first saw it in toys r us i was like er... because babies are still so young and well i don't really know how they are gonna play it and i think they actually test it on babies so oh well...

I guess the next future gaming would a projections make into a world, people can get onto that projection and well the projection can change as well. Perhaps we can even fly in air.
