Unit 19 - Desktop Genre Collage

This is the collage I made last week, the collage has 4 game genres on it. The collage is based upon images of games split in to the genres they relate to. For example, F.E.A.R. is a horror first person shooter, were as Half-life 2 is a Sci-fi action/adventure. The four genres are Horror, War, Fantasy and Sci-fi. The images I got wasn't completely to my taste but most of the images I got was from a EDGE magazine. Images included Half-life 2, Team Fortress 2, F.E.A.R., God of War Chains of Olympus, Metal Gear Solid and more. With my collage I place images in the area of the word, war games were bunched in the bottom left, Sci-fi in the top right. 

Description of the genres;

Horror:  There is a few sub-genres in horror but most would describe horror were it scares the player, makes the player uncomfortable in the environment, makes the action slow but sharp, sudden moments of fright.

Sci-fi: Futuristic environments, characters, creatures (aliens), abilities, weapons and more. Obvious examples would be Star Wars, Star Trek, Halo, etc.

Fantasy: Mostly completely created worlds from the ground up. The world are quiet unrealistic hence the fantasy. Well known games in the genre are; world of warcraft, final fantasy, dragon's quest, The Elders Scrolls and more.


War: Usually based around world wars or possible wars or fantasize on a war based on none war such as the cold war. Usually based on massive epic battles. Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, Brothers in Arms to name a few or war sims like Operation Flashpoint and ARMA.
