KINDS OF GAMES


Action Game

There are several characteristics that define an Action Game. The foremost would be the typical violence that you would see in an Action Movie, as in lots of physical fighting involving explosions, shooting, fist-fighting, high-speed flying or driving while shooting. The majority of the difficulty or challenge with Action Games lies in that your physical reaction speed, precision, eye-sight, mental sharpness is tested. If there is puzzle elements involved; you are usually pressured to complete them under a certain amount of time or consequence of failing, such as having to start at the beginning of a level.





    World of Warcraft (commonly abbreviated as WoW) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Blizzard Entertainment. It is the 4th game in the Warcraft series, excluding expansion packs and the canceled Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans. The Warcraft games are set in the aptly named Warcraft Universe, a fantasy setting introduced by Warcraft: Orcs & Humans in 1994. World of Warcraft is set four years after the events at the conclusion of Blizzard's previous release, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. As of February 2006,
    World of Warcraft is one of the most popular MMORPGs in the world, with more than 6.0 million[1] active subscriptions. This level of popularity eventually led major MMORPG developers such as Sony Online Entertainment to re-think the way they are making games, even changing the gameplay of their past successful titles.



Shoot Game

Shooter games cover a fairly broad spectrum of sub-genres that have the commonality of controlling a character who is usually armed with a firearm that can be freely aimed.

There are many criteria to determine the type of shooter, listed below are some of the major divisions. Using the following, it is possible to categorize almost all shooters developed.



    Light-gun games
    Time Crisis 3, a light-gun game.Light gun games use a pointing device for computers and a control device for arcade and video games. The first light guns appeared in the 1930s, following the development of light-sensing vacuum tubes. It wasn't long before the technology began appearing in arcade shooting games, beginning with the Seeburg Ray-O-Lite in 1936. These early light gun games used small targets (usually moving) onto which a light-sensing tube was mounted; the player used a gun (usually a rifle) that emitted a beam of light when the trigger was pulled. If the beam struck the target, a "hit" was scored. Modern screen-based light guns work on the opposite principle -- the sensor is built into the gun itself, and the on-screen target(s) emit light rather than the gun. The first light gun of this type was used on the MIT Whirlwind computer. Like rail shooters, movement is typically limited in light-gun games.


Car Game

Being in the car with your kids is a wonderful opportunity to spend some quality time with them, away from other daily distractions. A little undivided attention from Mom or Dad can go a long way toward a little person's happiness. It's sometimes nice to sit in the back of the van with your kids while dad is doing the driving and play these games right along with them.



    Car Travel Bingo

    Travel Bingo boards that you flip the red area when you see the picture on the board. Look for them at dollar stores or Cracker Barrel. OR, try creating your own by writing words or simple pictures of roadside items or roadsigns. Try a printable car bingo game such as the ones at the Moms Minivan Printables page. OR, I finally found a place that sells the Family classic Travel Bingo online.
