popularity until the 1970s and 1980s. They have been a popular form of entertainment for years, transitioning from computer games to actual gaming consoles. As time passes the nature of those games has evolved. There are many types of video games these days. Some of the games that are most popular are Call of Duty, NBA 2k and Saints Row. There are some similarities between these three video games. Even though they are very different somehow they continue to catch the attention of millions of people each day. First there is Call of Duty. This game depicts the life of those that have served or do serve in armed forces. It simulates the infantry and combined arms warfare of World War II. The game has different missions and options to change the level of difficulty. Depending on the access you have on your gaming system you may also be able to play other people from around the world. Using this feature will allow you to communicate with a diverse group of individuals. This may include teaming up to kill the rival team or simply working together to complete the mission. It’s neat that you could work together with a group of people you have never met and…
made for a specific purpose expect that the product will fulfill their wants and needs. They do not want to spend money on something that will not be beneficial to them or be worth the money that they have spent on it.

The new NBA 2k game that came out was so long anticipated that when it came out hardly anyone that…

I’ve always loved the game of basketball, it has always captivated me in various forms. I started playing at a young age, even though I wasn’t always good I kept playing, because I loved it. When I was younger my brother, Nathan and I, used to play everywhere, from the basement, to the driveway, to living room. I remember my Dad always told us, “No playing ball in the house.” We both knew it was wrong but we didn’t listen, to the point where we broke a clock, in our living. Nathan and I also…
It's not every day that we hear about a mainstream sports simulation game, even more so with a sport like basketball. And probably even more remote is the thought of a basketball role playing video game. But far-fetched as it may seem (or not, if you're not allergic to simulations), that seems to be what the newly developed NBA 2K17 aims to be. And competently so. This review will cover the most realistic (arguably, the only video game franchise that can legitimately claim to be a remotely…
Athletics are a major part of who I am. My entire youth is filled with both organized and unorganized sports. From racing my cousins to early morning basketball games at the local YMCA. My father, and his side of the family are mainly responsible for this love of athletics. Some of them even found a way to allow sports to catapult them into financially successful lives. Though those few were high school and college legends, I have a path of my own that has made me much more than just an athlete.…

I learned that in a matter of hours situations can go from good too bad. The day started off real nice. My friends and I…
In three months, we will receive our eighteen installment of NBA video game series, NBA 2k17. A lot of expectation is riding on the game since its previous installments critical acclaimed well in the recent years and NBA Live is not releasing until 2017. As there some reviews from IGN, GameInformer and Gamespot that praised the game as the "sports video game of the year", there are some reviewers (including gamers) that criticized the game for broken to the point that last year's edition looks…
Under Pressure Today is the big game, as I’m sitting in class thinking how important this game is to the whole school. Even though I was not going to play because I’m the backup goalkeeper I was still excited to be part of the team. This is my senior year and I hoped to have memorable moments. “Let’s all support the boys and girls soccer team in today’s game versus Leuzinger at 7 o clock. Go Cougars!” The principle, Mr. Newell seem extremely excited over the announcements for tonight’s game…
