The years of the 1970’s is famous for the groovy bell-bottoms, the rise of disco and how could anyone forget, the invention of video games. However, it wasn’t all fun and games. It was an era of economic struggle and cultural change. Many American groups fought for social and political rights, one being a combat for women rights. Women are being objectified by men and politics. They did not have the right to vote, to hold public office, to have reproductive rights, to work or to have fair wages,…

The business I have chosen to examine is Ubisoft. Ubisoft is a French video game company which established in 1985, and now becomes one of the biggest video games company around the world. Like some of the other companies, at the first stage, Ubisoft did not have a lot of good games, until, in 2007, they published Assassin’s Creed. This game also started a new age in the game industry, until September 2016, they sold more than one hundred million copies of this game series, and make this game…
The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition is a compilation of four of Nintendo's best "Zelda" games. This collection includes two games for the Nintendo Entertainment System and two games from the Nintendo 64. Each game is a faithful reproduction of the original game. The stories, enemies, and item placements are as you remember them. However, each game has received a minor facelift. While the graphics remain the same, each game now runs at a higher resolution. This higher resolution lets you see…
Xbox v. PlayStation Do you play on Xbox or PlayStation? Both consoles have many pros and cons. Xbox has pros like cross play to PC gamers. PlayStation has pros like DLC exclusivity for many games. These two consoles have great exclusives, great multiplayer experiences, and many new, state of the art hardware additions. Some argue in favor of PlayStation, but I prefer Xbox. For example, Xbox Live Gold features triple A like Borderlands and Sunset Overdrive for free monthly. This shows that Xbox…
of the Xbox is very interesting. The console has 8GB of DDR3 ram, 8 GB of flash memory, 500GB (NON-REPLACEABLE) hard drive, and an 8-core processor, and a cable input. Even though this console can act as a cable box, gaming console, and Blu ray player. Everything you need right there in one box. The Xbox one has many positives and two downside which might be the graphics and the non-removable hard drive. The Microsoft corp. couldn't…
Xbox One vs. PS4 I love the Xbox One (“Xbox”) when compared to the PlayStation 4 (“PS”)because the Playstation seems a little confusing. The two consoles are both good but they don’t have things that the other console does. One thing that is kind of a big deal is that the Xbox has a whole game series called Halo. The Playstation has a game that the Xbox does not have as well but the game isn’t as well know. This game is Uncharted and it’s a series as well. Both the PS and Xbox have downloadable…
other launches. Some of the potential benefits were economies of scale in the production by the suppliers and even more importantly entering the market before the release of Sony’s next generation console. Early productions showed that the Play Station 3 would have better technology including built in Blu-ray, however this time it wouldn’t matter since Microsoft had already gained leverage in the gaming market by releasing…
Mother is the Japanese name for a role-playing video game series that started with Mother on the Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1989 and ended in 2006 with Mother 3 on the Game Boy Advance. Fans in America should know the series by the name Earthbound. The series has become known for its great storytelling, humor, and characters. Despite a bright appearance at most points, the games tend to have very dark undertones involving issues often faced in real life, particularly by children. As…
I was recently introduced to an extraordinary game, Guitar Hero for PS2. My friends and I each pitched in to buy it for eighty dollars at a local gaming outfit. Since then, there has been nothing but laughter, shouting, and squealing rock & roll emitting from their house. Guitar Hero comes in a package deal; it includes the PS2 game, a plastic guitar controller with strap, and a few stickers for accessorizing the guitar. Other guitar skins can be bought, and even personalized, on Ebay.com. The…
