Essay #1 Guidelines

Essay #1

Analyzing Video Games

Take a popular video game and analyze it as a reflection of cultural attitudes, desires, and beliefs. What makes the game popular? What does it reflect about our culture?

Since this is an analysis paper and not an argument paper (we will get to that next), please refrain from sharing your own opinions in the paper. ) Instead, try and focus on dissecting the game. What are the avatars like? What process do the go through in achieving their goals? Is the game single-player, or multi-player?

Use the vocabulary that you have gleaned from your in class readings to break down the components of the game and to discuss it.

Length 2-3 pages. Make sure to include a Works Cited page.
