Reflection on Game Genres

• What did you learn from your choice of games and genres to review? I learned many different things from the genres I reviewed. I learned how important a sports game can be to a social issue game. I also learned how you can make a different game rather than others who just use action genre. There should be a positive purpose for a game.
• Name any game features that stood out to you, either because they were interesting or because they could be improved. Some game features that stood out to me were unknown. There was some flash components that I never knew you could do. The flash component I saw was outrageous because it totally matched with the game genre.
• Write down any questions you have about the game or genre you chose. You might answer them yourself later! How can you involve a puzzle game with a social issue, how to make a positive purpose towards the game.

Playing to Learn, Genre:Action

Game that taught me a new educational skill or gave information on a subject: Survivor

It taught me about the holoucast which leads to Social Studies in our school subjects.

Game that taught me about a new or existing social issue:
Survivor There isn't really an exact social issue for this topic but Slavery can definitely relate to this because people weren't treated right back then.

Game I liked the best: Survivor was the only one I could possibly play.

What happens in the game: In the game the character tries to escape prison, sort of a concentration camp to let the world or others know what actually happens inside the camp.


How do you play it? The way you play is pretty easy but tempting at the same time because you imagine yourself running around a camp trying to escape with guards all over. The levels are not difficult. All you do is move the arrow keys to move away from the guards. At the end I finished getting out of the camp.
