The more technology that is progressed the better they get, taking for example VR games which are getting more and more popular, games of the future are even going more into the competitive world. Games like this really do make you know that our future is only getting better and more fun.

These are just some things that are soon to come and VR games are already a thing and are just becoming better. These kinds of things are only a tip of the iceberg to come and even more to come, and once they do, these new games will only open even more doors to newer games and more and more.

Games of the future

Games of the Old by Evan Boettcher

Games of the old are better because they are original and they are still played by very many people. They are very simple games and they are just fun to get and play and trying to beat a personal high score. Old games also bring back memories from childhood and playing the games makes you feel like you are a kid again.

There are many of old games still played to this day and some of those games are the following

• Pac-Man
• Galaga
• Zelda
• Donkey Kong
• Tetris
• Dig Dug
• Space Invaders
• Pong
• Mario

These are only some of the games still played today but there are much more. Also a lot of people are mad about all of the new games being too futuristic so a lot of people like to play the older games because they are more simple than the new games today.

It is harder to find old consoles now but you can still come across them and they are usually pretty cheap depending on what the console is. I personally like playing old games because they are just very fun to play and seeing how far technology has gone in a fairly short amount of time.

We went from Ataru to Xbox in no time. Graphics on old games are not very good but they show how classic the games are and how much graphics have changed overtime.

People still play old consoles such as the following

• Playstation
• Wii
• Nintendo 64
• Saga Genesis
• Atari
• Xbox
• Gamecube
• Telstar
• Nintendo Entertainment System

These are some of the consoles still played today but there is much more. I think old video games are still played very much all around the world by many people including me and I like them because of the simplicity and fun that they have and bring to the people who play them. These are my thoughts on video games of the old and why people still play and enjoy them.

Gaming Industry

by Brighton Black

Video game industry. The video game industry (sometimes referred to as the interactive entertainment industry) is the economic sector involved in the development, marketing and monetizing of video games. It encompasses dozens of job disciplines and employs thousands of people worldwide.      

 

Games such as the following are the biggest hits.

• Call of duty black ops 3
• Gta 5
• NBA 2K17
• NFL 2k17

  All of these games are big hit in the industry  making company’s millions        

So if you ever want to get a job I’d go for the gaming industry for a chance to make it big in the industry itself so you can design games.

Madden 2017, Cop or Drop?

by Sam Bepler

Benefits:

• Elevated Gameplay mechanics
• Improved on field player interactions
• New and needed emphasis on franchise mode
• Additions running game

The running game completely changed, it gives you options to spin, juke, and stiff arm. It takes actual skill to bust a long run and when you do it is very rewarding.

The new ground game is refreshing, and it you honest on both offense and defense. It’s so easy to get caught up in pass after pass in today’s NFL, but with such a large emphasis in Madden NFL 17’s run game it encourages you to be patient and to run an offense the way it’s meant to be in the real sport.

The Answer to cop or drop is… COp!!! Ea really rejuvenated the madden game with madden 2017 it's a must play.
