toc =Entertainment Video Game Review Assignment= Due 7/18 - 6:00pm 20 points

Pick an ‘entertainment’ video or computer game (your choice, but long, complex games are preferable) to examine, and create a wiki entry for that game, detailing how the game itself is played, any principles of learning involved, specific content learned from playing, as well as a review of the gaming community involved with that particular game. This project is due at the third class, and will be presented to a small group of other students. //Note: if you haven't yet decided on a game for this assignment, you might consider one of the recommended games here.//

Specific Assignment Details

 * 1) Try to pick a game no one else in the class is reviewing. Once you decide on a game, please post the name of it in the [|discussion thread] so other students can pick different games.
 * 2) Try to pick a game that would take at least two hours to complete (//Note: you don't need to play the whole game!//) Before writing the review, play the game for at least 45 minutes.
 * 3) Try to pick a game that you haven't played (a lot) before. It can be difficult to remember the early learning that happened in a game you're already very familiar with.
 * 4) Your review should include the following elements:
 * //(4 points)// A brief description of the game. You may include images or even video clips to help give readers a better idea of the game.
 * //(5 points)// The kinds of learning involved (i.e. What specifically did you learn from playing the game?). Think about the game tasks, objectives, terminology, etc. What skills did you need to learn to be successful at the game?
 * //(5 points)// The kinds of teaching involved (i.e. How did the game teach you?). Think about the kinds of feedback, rewards, guidance, and information the game gave you, and how it paced and structured your learning. Which Principles of Learning did the game utilize?
 * //(3 points)// A brief description of the kinds (and quantity) of online sites, forums, wikis, etc. devoted to the game. What game activities (e.g. walk-thoughs/guides, databases, cheats, theorycrafting, modding, etc.) are most-commonly discussed?
 * //(3 points)// Your overall reflections on playing the game.
