Assignment 1: Game History

  • Warcraft 3

    Warcraft 3

    Warcraft 3 was one of the earliest video game memories i have. My older brother bought this, and once he was done with it i took over and spent a lot of time exploring it's campaigns, races, custom maps, online community and all the rest. Warcraft 3 2002, Image of the logo, viewed 3 March 2020,

  • Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

    Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

    Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was one of my first online first-person shooters. I spent a ridiculous amount of time on it. I consider Modern Warfare to be the best Call of Duty game, before the series would release a re-hashed entry every year, Modern Warfare was the crown jewel of COD.

  • Fallout 3

    Fallout 3

    Another game I remember watching my older cousin playing and I was captivated, it ended up being over a year before I bought my Xbox 360 but it was one of the first games I bought. Since then I've spent hundreds of hours playing this, and re-played it multiple times on PC as well. It's simply a masterpiece in game design. Fallout 3 Logo, viewed 7 April 2020,

  • League of Legends

    League of Legends

    League of Legends was my first foray into a MOBA, and I was hooked from the offset, as most people were. My cousin got me into it and we started playing together, eventually, we connected with a network of players that we formed friendships with to this day. Although I don't play it anymore, it's still one of my top games.

  • Arma 2: Day Z Mod

    Arma 2: Day Z Mod

    The Day Z mod is a very interesting game, it was a fairly simple zombie survival mod. However It was buggy, poorly made, crashed frequently, subject to hackers, un-balanced, and defied just about everything that would make a "good" game, but at its core, it was one of the most unique and fun gaming experiences of my life to date. the game shined in the unique situations it created, It's the perfect example of a game that is greater than the sum of its parts
