write up of gaming sesh

Table Tennis - Xbox 360
1) The controls were simple due to most buttons making you hit the ball, with either spins, curls, low and high.
2) This game would appeal to families who enjoy more casual gaming to hardcore gaming, or people who are really big fans of the sport, but have no room for a tennis table.
3) The experience of the game isn't wide enough or fun enough to make me want to go back and play more.
4) There are ads on billboards on the side of the arena, a bit like you would get in a real sport event, also the characters are real people who are famous in the sport.

Red Dead Revolver - Xbox
1) The game was very easy to play, although the shooting was somewhat inaccurate. However the game had a good mix of platformer and shooter.
2) Due to the rating of the game and its violent nature, the game is aimed at adults, particuly those who enjoy watching western movies, due to the references throughout the game.
3) The levels were rather mundane and repetitive-walking down the same train for two levels got boring.
4) The game takes inspiration from early western films.


Midnight Club LA - Playstation 3
1) The speed and the amount of damage you can do to your car is over the top and over dramatic, however this is the kind of racing games that I find fun, track racing is dull, but mind blowing speed and over the top tricks are exciting.
2) This game is aimed more at people who like fast cars, but prefer messing about in their own sandbox world.
3) There were a lot of choices of car (Although we had no money to buy any), so you will go back to unlock more faster models later on.
4) The music playing out of the car radio is from real bands.

Grand Theft Auto Vice City - Playstation 2
1)Although their is a main story in GTA games, they never seem to draw me in, all i ever did and still do on GTA is open up the cheatbook and spawn as many vehicles and weapons i can untill the game becomes fun. However i like the freedom to do this and the world that is built for you to explore.
2) This game is aimed at adults, and adult gaming. However many younger children play this game and enjoy it much more just because of the amount of freedom and variety they get with it.
3) As i said in 1 only fun for me when using cheats.
4) The radio has real songs from bands of the 80's, and the adverts inbetween the songs mock real adverts to give the player a laugh.

Bully - Playstation 2

1) Very much like GTA but with a younger protagonist, and a very slightly more innocent story, as there are no guns or stealing vehicles this time, however beating the crap out of the nearest passer by is still perfectly acceptable.
2) This game is aimed for fans of the GTA series, and people who are too young to go oout and buy GTA but want the same experience, also for people who really don't like their school, playing it means you can pretend to get revenge on your own school. Just without the possibility of getting expelled.
3) The minigames, like button pressing sequences are a good way of adding variety into the game.
4) Billboards and radios simmilar to the way in GTA.
