The Personal Research Video Game blogs
- We need to assign each of you a specific video game to research. Show me your list of 3 games.

You want to consider the game on many levels. Including but not limited to the following:

* Game Play

* Game Stlye

* Game Aestetic

* Fun factor

* Plot Storyline

* Technology/Systems the game appeared on

* Programmers / Game Company(s)

* Year the game was created and context in which it was created (ie. who was president, what major world events were taking place, what was the style/fashion of the time, popular movies, ect..)

* Context of an average individual within society while playing the game (see above)

* Places the game or it's icons appear in society outside of game culture (culture recycling)

- You need to make at least 3 posts a week to your personal video game blog. This is part of the research for this class. You need to search out information, site references and links for images, videos and information you find. You need to write thoughtful reflections on your finds.
