Today in our Contextual Studies lesson, Sharon and Kim introduced us to various genres of games, including:
- Adventure
- Alternate Reality Games (ARG)
- Augmented Reality
- Beat 'em up
- Platform
- Puzzle
- Racing
- Rhythm Action
- Role Playing Game (RPG)
- Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG)
- Shoot 'em up
- Simulation
- Strategy
Next, we were asked to split into our studio groups and were given one genre per group, in which we had to list as many examples possible which linked to that genre. My group and I were assigned the 'Alternate Reality Game' genre, which at first seemed daunting because we hadn't really came across many games that linked to this genre before. How ever, we started to research this genre and soon became fairly 'clued up' on the matter.
Alternate Reality definition:
- an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) is an interactive narrative that uses the real world as a platform and uses transmedia storytelling to deliver a story that may be altered by participants' ideas or actions.
