Genre

in the lecture we discussed what "genre" is. i wanted to discuss gnre within games. in games genre actually means and different gameplay style. Gameplay styles are the way that the player interacts with the game environment, it could be a strategy, adventure, shooters this could be from the perspective of a character or the audiance might interact with the game in a platform this is when the player is the focus of the screen and the player would jump from one secton to the other a good example is donky kong the player has to jump from one level to the other to save his lover. Genre tends to relate to the environment and themes within the story, such as gears of war which is classed as a war game/shooter which in genre it would fall under a war game. different games have different genres however these genre are all effected by the playform of the game itself.
