Game Thoughts 1/9

Flowers

I like the idea of the game and I understand why people play it. Flowers has beautiful graphics and animations. The sounds and soundtrack are soothing and pleasant. Personally, I just don’t play games like that. I find I analyze them more as a piece of art and not as a video game.

Journey

I was far more interested in this game than flowers. I loved that there seemed to be more mechanics to learn and master with the controller. For some reason I felt like I was achieving more in Journey than I was in Flowers. I also associated the Journey game with other similar games I have played which I think made me ask more questions about how they manipulated the environment differently.

Calvin Ball

I did not like this. No thank you.

Cow Clicker

Cow Clicker took me back to 2009 freshman year of high school. I thought it was a stupid waste of time then, and I think it is now. When I think about the amount of time people waste on things like Cow Clicker, I don’t doubt the inevitable extinction of the human race. That’s all.
