the game
As I was sitting at home this weekend, there became a lot of talk about how maryland did so well creaming george tech in the last second. i began to think about how excited i was for the upcoming march madness tournament. i thought about how much i love basketball and the thrilling and upbeat pace of the game. i played NBA Live 2010 to take care of my desire to feel the basketball environment. i LOVE this game. its soooo realistic, i feel like i am IN the game. EA sports is the maker of this game. there is a play by play audio of commentators during your game play. they are either encouraging you and commenting on your play or making fun of you for doing bad. there is even a half time report!! i did a little research and found that NBA live 10 includes "a couple hundred signature sound effects and new animations." i think this is so cool!! there has been so many versions of this game and they are still finding ways to update it and keep gammers wanting to play the sports franchise. i'm really interested in playing this game, and potentially for the rest of the semester.

Oh Lindsey! You can't give up on Sly 3 now!!
ReplyDeleteFirst, can you compare Sly 3 with NBA Live and discuss why one is more / less motivating to you than the other? Is it merely the context or are there important design differences too? As an educational game designer, how would you take the best from each game? What would you leave out?
I'm sorry, but you really do need to stick with Sly 3. Maybe it's time to start the game over with a new character / persona / goal, etc.? I'd be happy to sit down with you and discuss additional ways to explore Sly.
