Week 5 Games Journalism

Video game journalism is a branch of journalism concerned with the reporting and discussion of video games. It is typically based on a core reveal/preview/review cycle.
Most New Games Journalism articles are not reviews of games in the traditional sense. They can instead be understood as being analogous to travel journalism, where the writer responds to subjective experiences presented to them by the game world, as well as interactions with other players online, real-world events surrounding gameplay, and other personal experiences.

If I were to write a review I will stick with base principal such as:
Life span: Every game has a different lifespan; some may enjoy it more then other. You have to find the average % percentage between people that do and do not prefer the game!
Graphic: Graphic is easy to judge but you still have to look out for the mapping (How well it is done and see how much time was spend on it) and judge if time was spend on it was worth it, glitz and also see how smooth the game runs!

Game Play: Every one has a different way of playing games, some people or players may enjoy it more then the others. So there are always different opinions! So you have to gat a percentage of the other as well as yourself for the review to judge the game.
