UNDERSTANDING GAMES

I have to admit that learning while playing kept my attention at hundred percent even if now it is very late at night. I definitely like pong! What I learnt is that if a game is predictable, it will lose its appealing. So, the ambiguous variable is extremely important when creating a game. The uncertain outcome makes the player be focused on the mission. Another thing is that realistic images help to hook the gamer into the given context because when the graphic representation is changed, the gamer experience also changes. Check this commercial from 1976, Pong rocks! =)
