History <strong>in</strong> a<br />

WAY


Some of best sell<strong>in</strong>g games of 2018 were<br />

games with historical <strong>in</strong>fluences <strong>in</strong>side<br />

them.<br />

Makes learn<strong>in</strong>g <strong>history</strong> fun. The reason why is the<br />

games have fun gameplay and stories mixed with<br />

<strong>history</strong> elements teach<strong>in</strong>g you someth<strong>in</strong>g that you<br />

may have never known go<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to it. From my<br />

experiences with games like these, I had been able to<br />

learn from those games and use that <strong>in</strong>formation <strong>in</strong><br />

my social studies class becom<strong>in</strong>g a useful asset for<br />

me.<br />

The Misconceptions of video games. Some people<br />

th<strong>in</strong>k that all video games make you stupid and are a<br />

waste of time. Except they haven't even played all of<br />

them but are just mak<strong>in</strong>g it up so they could create<br />

controversy. Most games have some elements that you<br />

can learn from mak<strong>in</strong>g you a little bit smarter <strong>in</strong> the<br />

process.<br />

It’s not go<strong>in</strong>g to teach you everyth<strong>in</strong>g. Even though<br />

you have learned much from these games they won’t<br />

teach you everyth<strong>in</strong>g. You will still need to pay<br />

attention <strong>in</strong> class and try your best you should be<br />

able to balance that out so you can be successful at<br />

school and be able to play video games and learn<br />

from them.

The rat<strong>in</strong>g systems <strong>in</strong> video games and<br />

are they a problem to consumers?<br />

The ma<strong>in</strong> aspect of the rat<strong>in</strong>g system is to regulate the gam<strong>in</strong>g<br />

content a consumer is allowed to buy legally if they meet the<br />

age requirements to play that game. The mean<strong>in</strong>g of the rat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

goes like this, eC stand for early childhood like if there is no<br />

offensive content and is safe for toddlers and grow<strong>in</strong>g little<br />

m<strong>in</strong>ds, E which stand for everyone you can catch my drift, E<br />

10+ is like the same but the content is a little bit more extreme<br />

for the younger people, T that stands for teen when the content<br />

is graphic as <strong>in</strong> blood, and mild language, etc, next is a big titan<br />

when it comes to a games rat<strong>in</strong>g M when we get <strong>in</strong> to the gore,<br />

<strong>in</strong>tense language, partial nudity and more many games have<br />

been cursed by this rat<strong>in</strong>g, the next rat<strong>in</strong>g is for adults only and<br />

I can’t expla<strong>in</strong> why who reasons I don’t want to say, and the<br />

f<strong>in</strong>al rat<strong>in</strong>g if you could call it that is RP rat<strong>in</strong>g pend<strong>in</strong>g it is be<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>in</strong> the process of rat<strong>in</strong>g .


This is where the problem starts we will be go<strong>in</strong>g back all<br />

the <strong>way</strong> before the rat<strong>in</strong>g systems existence. 1994<br />

N<strong>in</strong>tendo has added a <strong>new</strong> game to the SNES called<br />

Mortal kombat it <strong>in</strong>cluded Blood (only if you turn on a<br />

cheat code), gore, and reveal<strong>in</strong>g outfits for some of the<br />

characters. Parents were outraged with this and decided<br />

to found the organization called ESRB. They are the<br />

reason the video games rat<strong>in</strong>gs are around. The<br />

problem is that some games do not deserve the rat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the ESRB gives it. Because of the ESRB rat<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

game M or Ao even if the game does not present any of<br />

these elements.
