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.
