with ed we learnt about Old games journalism and explored mechanics, graphics
and controls.
in this lesson we also looked at New games journalism and how it shows what the game looks like and what it's like to do things in the game from the player's point of view.
In my opinion new games journalism is much more helpful as I would prefer to know what I'll be confronted with when I'm dropped into the game world. I would prefer to explore the game at my own pace. But if I'm looking for information on how a game works I will check out an old style review.
Both types of game journalism have their plus sides and negative sides to them but each of them would only appeal to different target audiences or possibly the same because if someone who had been shown the new style review and wanted to know more about how the game works then they could read about it in either of these styles.
