Gamer Generation

The archaeological records the presence of games since 2600 B.C.
After that so many games appeared and became a sign of fun and competition.
We have chosen two very different games and will talk about them:

Travian:


In travian we have to create and protect our village.
We can choose between three tribes in Travian: Romans, Gauls and Teutons. Each tribe has advantages and disadvantages and their troops are also very different.
At the beginning we should try to get a good economic basis. In order to do so we have to extend the 18 resource fields. There are four different types of resource fields: Woodcutter, Clay pit, Iron mine and Cropland.
Later in the game the buildings in the village become important too.
Some buildings can only be built if you fulfil the prerequisites which are other buildings.

Counter Strike:


Counter-Strike (commonly abbreviated to CS) is a tactical first-person shooter video game. The game has been expanded into a series since its original release, which currently includes Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, Counter-Strike: Source, Counter-Strike: Anthology and Counter-Strike on Xbox. Counter-Strike is a first-person shooter in which players join either the terrorist or counter-terrorist team (or become a spectator). Each team attempts to complete their mission objective and/or eliminate the opposing team. Each round starts with the two teams spawning simultaneously, usually at opposite ends of the map from each other. Players are generally given a few seconds before the round begins to prepare and buy equipment, during which they cannot attack or walk/move. Each round is won by either completing the mission objective or eliminating the opposing force.


These are online games. It can be played with a lot of people even with somebody we don't know. It can be very addictive too. A lot of people forget everything that goes on around them and just play day and night. But this kind of games are making that traditional games, like cards, domino or bingo, to be forgotten.








VS







Some games are simulation games, like Sims. This kind of games make us take care of a virtual person and build it's home. All the games improve our skills, like leadership and stratergy skills.




Ana like to play all kind of games but doesn't have a favorite because she plays a lot of games.
Joana doesn't like games.
