My blog post this week is about the games I played on Monday during class. Since I have previously blogged about, and played Phone Story so I am familiar with games that advocate a social action message. A game I have played was Personal Trip to the Moon. I really did not understand this game at all, and did not play it for that long. I was not sure what the point of this game was. The next game I played was called Clockwork Cat. It was a fun and simple game. I enjoyed the game for the most part, it was relatively simple. The character was a cat and the goal of the game was to maneuver through a maze which was in the air while trying to turn back time with doughnut looking objects. If the large clock in the back ground hit midnight, you lost. There was also candy looking icons which did something, but I'm not sure what exactly. The next game I played was called Those Darn Nipples. This game was quite weird to say the very least. The goal of the game was to align the nipples of different sized breasts and there were incorrectly placed nipples to throw the user off. Like I said, very weird. The next game I played was called Unmanned. This game, unlike the games before it, had a social justice aspect to it. The main character to this game was a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) operator. The social justice aspect being highlighted is to alert the people who are playing this game to covert military operations that are occurring in the Middle East. While this is happening the game is implying that video games stress a militaristic environment today.
