In 2007, when I was six years old, my parents gave me a Playstation 2 for my birthday. With it came a plethora of games. From Lego Star Wars, to Tomb Raider. One game stood above the rest, Star Wars Battlefront 2. Star Wars Battlefront 2 was a game made by Pandemic Studios in 2005. The game featured everything a young boy could dream of in a Star Wars game. There were multiple game modes including capture the flag, and team deathmatch. There was also a choice between The Clone Wars and The Galactic Civil War time periods. Playing the game with my dad was one of my fondest memories from my childhood. My love of the game led me to seek others games I would love. As I grew older, I continued to play Battlefront 2, but I also began to play other types of games. …show more content…
For the years leading up to my freshman year, I saved every penny I earned. Eventually I had enough to go and purchase all the components. I ordered everything and patiently waited for the amazon boxes to arrive. One week later there was a stack of boxes five feet high sitting in my room. During the time they were shipping, I watched every video I could on Linus Tech Tips, a YouTube channel dedicated to computers. On a Thursday Afternoon in April, I assembled my computer. First putting the motherboard, cpu, and graphics card together outside of the case to make sure everything worked properly. The computer didn’t turn on. I was horrified, thinking that I had broken something. In actuality, the only problem was that I did not switch the power supply on. Following my brief heart attack, I finished putting everything inside the case, I turned it on once more, making sure that I turned the power supply on. It worked. I was elated and could not think of anything besides installing Windows after school the next day. My computer has become one of my most prized possessions, and something I use almost every

So we get many things in the game. And like Black Ops 2 was a shooting game. It was the #1 game back then. But Fortnite came out and took over all the games. I think the old game back then were better because they look nice and there are a lot of fun.
Motion Pictures have always had a strong influence in today’s culture, but maybe none as prevalent as Star Wars. Originating with Episode 4 A New Hope, the series boomed from 1977 to 2005 with yet another addition coming in 2015. The strongest of the series was the original trilogy episodes 4, 5, and 6, all generally released in the 1980s. As one of the strongest film francaises still today, it’s impact within the 1980s was only the tip of the iceberg. Children and adults alike still anticipate the new edition of this seemingly endless journey. If any singular film series still holds prevalence in its future decades it is Star Wars: Original Trilogy.

Call of Duty’s fourth installment “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” was released in 2007 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. At the time, nobody would have expected the game to get very far due to Halo’s reign over the FPS genre. However, to many people’s surprise, Modern Warfare took the market by storm, rivaling Halo. This was part due to Cod’s innovative multiplayer, which included multiple arcade-like features to keep players interested in playing for hours on end. Cod also appealed to many gamers and non-gamers by making gameplay an easy-to-play experience. This of course allowed thousands of inexperienced gamers to have fun playing Cod without the stress of a skill based multiplayer, such as Halo’s. Increasing in popularity, a new Cod installment was to be released every year following Modern Warfare to rake in the cash and to make the game’s reputation more prominent. This is how Cod became the juggernaut it is today.

Video games have come a long way. They have evolved from the simple game of Pong into a complex, multi-platform, multi-genre, multi-billion dollar industry.
Overall, Total Front is a decent real-time strategy game. Although the base-building element poses a major downside, the battles and great visuals more than make up for it. The strategic element isn’t that deep, but it is still something you will fairly enjoy in the long run. The game gets relatively harder as you move through the levels, but it’s enough to provide you countless hours of fun and

I’m the type of guy that would go out and buy a Call of Duty game, pop it open and gather all my friends and jump right into it. Call of Duty is one of the most popular games out and many people love to play. It is competitive, it has online play, and you can also create a clan or group to play against other people around the world online. Call of Duty dates back to 2003 and really wasn’t popular then because it’s all about killing your enemy. Many parents didn’t want their child to play the game. Growing up, I didn’t know much about video games, so I wasn’t really into them until I started playing Call of Duty. Not only does it have military based features, it also has zombies and/or aliens features as well.
