My finished video game back cover

My finished video game front cover

Game front cover 4

What I like about this front cover is the way they have laid out all the character together without them being to crushed to each other, I also like the way they've done the "o" in the title, it resembles the dragon balls they have to find. I think this is the type of front cover that only major fans would really be interested in, it looks really good but I don't think that people who are seeing this game for the first time will know what it is about.

What I don't like about this front cover is the colours they have used, they're too dull but they do suit the game. I like the font that they have used for the title of this game. As we can see from the front cover, there is a lot of destruction around him which gives us a hint as to what type of game it is and also the weapon that he is holding in his hand. There isn't really much to talk about because there isn't really a range of colours or that many different pictures on the front cover, but overall it's a good cover.

This is one of the covers that I don't really like at all, it's too plain. It's just a picture of the same girl in different clothes. There is nothing really that eye catching, not even the title is that interesting to look at. The background pictures also aren't that interesting, it's just a beach and a field with people riding horses. it also doesn't give you much information on what type of game it is, so if a person who didn't know much about Hannah Montana looks at this case, I don't think that they'll be very interested in buying this game, well that's my opinion because I'm male and this is aimed towards a female audience.

One of the things that I really like about this front cover is the type of art that they used for the characters and the background,  and also the choice of colours they've used because it makes the front cover really bright and attractive. I also really like the background that they've used, they have used only bright and attractive colours like blue, white and cream. The title is ok, I think they're trying to stick to the original font but it wouldn't hurt to make a more attractive font for the title. In my opinion is pretty dull and that's the one thing that puts the cover down, apart from that everything is good!

New Super Mario Bros Wii cover

The bright colours of this case shows us that the game is a game for younger children. Also the way the characters have been drawn by computer graphics. As you can see from the veraity of colours you can tell that its not targeted towards a certain gender, but that its for both and the same for the target age. You can tell its for any age because of the wii logo at the top right corner, most wii games tend to be family games thus making it for any age and gender!

What is a video game

A video game is something that requires human interface for it to run properly. It must also have some sort of a resebelence of levels or stages in the game.

A video game can be controlled by a few things e.g. You, avatar, gaming controller, keyboard & mouse, touch screen and arcade stick. There are still loads of other ways that a video game can be controlled by.

Video game must be fun and satisfying, but on the other hand it can be stressful, challenging and addictive.

Most importantly it must be interactive!!!
