my final project is to design a basketball game called 3 on 3 tournament. I feel the packages' graphics for the existing sport games out there are very boring, the show nothing but some still shots of athletes. It's lack of the emotional, competitive elements. I intend to redesign an imaginary street basketball game which takes place from street courts all over the world. For the cover, I tried to avoid the obvious of the usual basketball player. Instead i used a photo from a basketball court in Brooklyn. Empty court, the mentally of isolation, since it's a 3 on 3 b-ball game. I also incorporated the actual game plays within the graphic elements thin lines that represent movement, the triangles and crosses represents the players or buttons. In the back of the cover is a pair of hand holding tight to the basketball, which convey a sense of passion and respect of the game.

For my final project, i would like to redesign the package for some of sport games which already exist out there, eg. fight night, madden, fifa or NBA. so far among almost all sport games packages, the cover is usually a photo of athlete and the title of the game. I intent to challenge the current sport games package and redesign a package that show the intensity, competitiveness and team efforts.

Indigo Prophecy tells the story of Lucas Kane, he shoved into a dark and arcane situation when he finds himself stabbing a man in a restroom at a diner. Kane isn't able to control his actions and has no idea what drove him to such a grizzly crime. On his trail are two New York City police detectives, Carla Valenti and Tyler Miles. I love the perspective playing through of all three characters, switching through various points in the game. The narrative blends suspense, occult and mystery. I can't imagine if i had to read the story as a book or see it in a movie perspective. I think i might became too dry, seem overly redone d - solving a murder mystery with a twist. But by playing the game, it engages the attention of the players and i also like the fact that there are many options during the game play. For instance, toward the beginning of the game when Carla was calling Tyler to get to work, Tyler was in bed, but as he got up, if you controlled him toward his girlfriend, there was a little heart sign- he actually went back to bed and gave some loving to his girl. I thought that was pretty funny. The other aspect i like about this game is the mental realness. Even the most little details could effect the character's mood, stress level, anxiety level, like drinking water, going to bathroom, or simply playing with yo-yo can release stress level, but if you pick up old photos or have something trigger bad memory could increase your stress level. The control of this game is fairly easy. most the the action play is about timing which for me is easy to get a hang of it.
In comparison of Indigo Prophecy and the older games that we've played like- King's Quest and Zelda, no doubt the graphic is super refined and the story is way more complicated and thoughtfully thought out. More than just a game, it's like a movie. compare to King's Quest and Zelda, I would definitely play this game again.
I was going to put some other screenshots on here, but as i quit the program, the game didn't save. =(

I don't really like this game, it's a bit confusing and too wordy for me.

We're no stranger here to hacked versions of Mario levels. It's actually getting a little old. But a new series of videos puts an interesting twist on the old formula: an evil level designer subjects his highly skilled friend to a series of painful challenges. see for yourself! , it's insanEE!

i just kinda get the hang of this game, it's really helpful when the "third person" gives you hint of where to go or what to do. however, I'm stuck here.

My friend Nate has purchased the Nintendo wii a few months ago. I've been over and tried out the latest gaming phenomenon. The 2 Wii Sports games I enjoy most are Tennis and Bowling. My highest score in Bowling is 201; not very good. I’m having difficulty getting to a level of consistency that guarantees that I spare or strike out each frame. I try to release the the bowling ball at the bottom of my Mii’s arm motion (for maximum power/speed) and put the same level of spin on each shot but I inevitably get the dreaded split every few frames. In comparison, Tennis is a little more forgiving, if I don’t hit the exact shot I want to hit I’m likely to get another chance on the very next shot. It's really funny to see other people play wii too.
