UnCharted 2



This game was like watching a movie at the movie theater, with the graphic and the amazing storyline. The game was very interesting because I got to see how the characters interact. Even though it was a violent and aggressive game the storyline was good. The graphics was realistic, that it made me feel like I was actually there in the game. Watching the game had me at an emotional state of mind, where I place myself in the characters role. I enjoyed the fact that a woman played an aggressive role, which I do not find in video games often. She played as a hero, instead of a victim. Her role was very vital because she helps the male protagonist and antagonist character in the game. She gives clues to the protagonist to help him find his destination. I would recommend this video game to others, because I was really involved in the storyline.

Art form for the digital ages


Video games have been known to many individuals worldwide, but are art a form for the digital ages? This question really has me thinking if video game is transform into art form throughout the society. Video games are becoming a part of film, and also could be played on the computer. According to the article, computer game is a popular art and is starting to emerge throughout society. Art is going to grow tremendously throughout the 21st century, because many are attracted by the graphics. When one looks at art in the digital age, they will see how lively it views and how the character look like real human being. Game designer has become creative in choosing different scenery, and the mood in the environment the characters are acting out. Video games tend to have us show emotions, and have a connection with them. Video game in my opinion is defiantly going to be a form of art years to come, and also it will be a challenge for the game designers. Therefore, art in video will reach many individuals around the world and they will realize the change as the play.

It is a video game certainly, but is it art?


This article was very interesting and helps me to understand art in video games. Dr.Jenkins point out some great facts about, how we can be emotional attached to video games. When one plays video game, one tends to build a connection with the character as if the really knew the charcter. Even though the characters are not real, one tends to express their feelings as the play the game. In the article Jenkins discuss about how he never was a huge fan of playing video games, but when he finally plays he started to cry. As we see these video games in art, we tend to feel that the scenery and the characters are so real. Video games are becoming more advance over the centuries and will change throughout the year. Art plays a major role in video game, and will become very popular over the years. Jenkins suggested incorporating critical vocabulary question to help understand video game through art and the words that tend to express one thought. Therefore, when you think about video games it is not only about adolescent play all day long, but art is very important in the game.

What the bleep do we ?


After watching this film, it really made me think about if I know everything in life. There are so many aspects of life that we as individual have not touched yet. People tend to live their lives not knowing what to expect. It is not what we do to our body, but what we do with our mind. Many individuals are not satisfied with their life, but want to change the way they are living. We must live our dreams to the fullest.

However, our brain is capable of many things, but we must transcend our self to a higher level. We must make a change in our life, and realize that there is more to live and learn. Love the abstract as you love whatever addiction, which one indulges their selves into repeatedly. Live your life in happiness, and not an addiction that will your life. Power of intangibility is what we call matter, and was highly discussed in the film.

Therefore, in the film one will understand and explore different emotions, addictions and know about God spiritually. God is always with us and guide us in the right direction. There is time when we lose track of time and our identity. The studies that the doctors speak about in the film, made me realize that we must have a positive thinking of live and know that there is so much to learn about in life. Never say that we know everything because that is not the case.
