Changing up the Story

A good storyline can never be beat in a great video games. One of the coolest things seen in games are multi-story campaigns. One of the best examples are the famous computer games from Blizzard Entertainment, Warcraft 3 and Starcraft. These two games have made the frontier of having separate campaigns in one game possible. They came out and the crashed the market with the weight of their giant fan base.
I myself have played these games and saw just amazing things. One of the coolest things about these games is actually how deep you can get into the story of some of their hero class characters. They can lead off into the past events of the characters and show their history. A good example is the character Grom Hellsrceam from the orc race that wars in Warcraft. He is a general that lead his people on a dark path and looks for redemption. Another interesting thing is the intertwining storires in these types of games.
Another game that has this type of situation would be the Pokemon games. They All are different in many ways but what ties them togther is the fact that you are always a trainer out to be the pokemon master. In these different storylines you can be whatever you want with many different types of pokemon teams. You are for sure going to face gym leaders, the elite four at the end and a stupid rival friend that thinks they are better than you. So for all of you out there that like to spice it up just try a new game and see whats different.

  1. Good Post. I have not ever really gotten into these games before. I think it may be a plus for some people to be able to dive deeply into games. However, I think there is a point where you get too caught up in a game. I know that there have been some people who have pretty much ruined their lives playing games like WOW because they get too caught up in their character. I think these games can be good but it all needs to be in moderation.

  2. These games are the best! In all reality, you are getting multiple games for the price of one. I really like how you can play each side's story and see how they do interrelate to one another. Command and Conquer was another great style of game, where you could choose from multiple campaigns and many times the story ended differently. Games such as Dynasty warriors allow you to play in the same time frame, but choose from many different character’s stories. It must take forever to create this style of game. These games provide for hours and hours of entertainment and they are well worth the money spent. Nice Job Anthnoy.
