Video games, how fun

Yes, yes, I know what you are now all thinking, addicted much. Don't worry I'm not going to write about Halo or Call of Duty 6. What I'm really going to talk about is how video games were made and how they were marketed. There, happy. Hopefully yes.

A video game is an electronic game that involves interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device. The word video in video game is traditionally referred to a raster display device, but let's keep that a secret. To put in simple terms it is a disc with lots of pixels of pictures generated by the game developers. They also have lots of information in computer codes that not too many people except Tristan may understand. If you don't understand the even simpler terms I will force to put your head down in shame. I know you are, or maybe not... BUT DO IT ANYWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not going to dumbify it anymore.

Now on to marketing which is one of the most important steps for any game. Does the crowd, the people like said game. Well I usually can't predetermine that, but if a game has that trait it will be a successful video game. The three largest producers of and markets for computer and video games (in order) are North America (US and Canada), Japan and the United Kingdom. Honorable mentions are going to Australia, Spain, Germany, South Korea, Mexico, France and Italy. Both India and China are considered emerging markets in the video game industry and sales are expected to rise significantly in the coming years. It also depends on local preferences. If you're in Japan most likely you would prefer Nintendo games, like Pokemon and Mario the best. If you are in Korea you like Starcraft and other strategy games the best. If you live in North America you most likely love shooting, sport, and strategy games the best. As you can see each country loves a variety of games.

To conclude, video games have come a long way since the earliest games. Like that game where have two things and you hit a ball back and forth trying to score a point, and tic tac toe. To games that have many things that look so real. Now I wonder what effects will be implemented in the future? Will there be a Call of Duty 7 most likely yes, but I don't know. Hopefully there will be.
