Magazine Double Page Spread: Black Ops II Game Review

During this assignment we had to, firstly look at game reviews in magazines, writen reviews on websites and also reviws on YouTube. Once we had collected these reviews we had to screen Screen Grab, annotate them then put them onto Blogger. After collecting reviews we then had to write an evaluation on them which included what the writer talks about and how each source was different. After our evaluation we had a chance to play games in class to figure out what game we wanted to write our own review about. We then had to write a game report that informs you of what conventions are found within a game. I chose to base the report around Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 because I know what the game is about and it was easier to base it around a game that I have played before. Just before we had to write our review we had to create a mind map that helped us plan out what information was going to be put into our review and how it was going to be layed out. Finally our review had to be a double page magazine spread designed to attract a certain target audience. The game I chose to write my review on was Call of Duty: Black Ops II. The reason I chose this game is because I have played it before as well as it being an easy game to write about as the target audience is very clear. In my reviwe I write about the Improvements, storyline, comparisons to the first Black Ops game and also put my own opinion of the game at the end. The program I chose to design my review on was Adobe Indesign. I chose this because it was the easiest program to design a magazine spread on.
