Subway Surfers Pokemon Go PUBG Mobile Snake
 SNAKE
Snake is a simple game made from a few
pixels (blocks on the screen) and the
whole point of the game is that u have
to collect as many apples (red dots) on
the map and get your snake to fill out
the whole screen, if you hit a wall or any
part of the snakes body you lose.
Subway Surfers
Subway surfers is a game with simple
goal, all you have to do is to run
away from a chubby guard and his
dog while dodging the obstacles
(wagons, ramps and moving trains
coming your way) there is no end to
the game, it just progressively gets
faster and the more you run the
more points you get.
Pokemon Go
Pokemon Go is an Online game
that works like a real life game,
but by looking at the screen of
your phone you can see what is in
front of you, if you’re lucky
enough it might be one of the cute
little Pokemons which you catch
with a poke ball (small capsule
that traps the Pokemon)
PUBG Mobile
PUBG Mobile is a third person shooter
game that is age restricted on the App
Store (16+ years of age) it is a battle
royale game (drops 100 players onto the
island). There are “borders” which
constantly shrink until they cover the
entire map (forces players to fight each
other) the last one standing wins or as
they say “Gets chicken for dinner”.
 XBOX Games
XBOX games are in the new generation of console
games, they are very popular amongst console users
and they can be found in a lot of different genres and
everyone could choose whatever genre they want to
play depending on what they like (if they have
enough money to buy the games).
The most popular XBOX games are:

1. Minecraft (XBOX)
2. Red Dead Redemption II (XBOX)
3. Grand Theft Auto V (XBOX)

 Red Dead
Redemption II
Red Dead Redemption II is a game that
has explicit content and is considered as a
game that has the highest age restriction
which is 18+ years of age, it is a western
life related game and has a lot of cowboy
references in it, the game goes by a story
of a cowboy that is living his life as an
Outlaw (illegal way of living in the wild
west) the game also includes Online game

life of the wild west.
Grand Theft Auto V

all have different life stories which are a very illegal
way of living (robbing banks to make money and live
undercover as “dead men walking”) the names of the
three “wonderful” characters are Franklin, Micheal and
Trevor and they are all like a small group of bank
robbers that live in Los Angeles and do everything they
can to become the richest pepole in Los Angeles. GTA V
also includes online mode which allows the player to
do whatever they want to do with other players in the
same “servers” as the player.
 Minecraft
The XBOX version of Minecraft is a more simple version of the
PC Minecraft version, both versions have the same goal but
there is a few different changes just so it preforms better on
the consoles.
The point of the game is that it is a sandbox survival game and
it is very “blocky” its about one strong blocky man trying to
survive in the world of Minecraft. His name is Steve and he
goes from just chopping down a few trees with his own hand
to making whatever he wants in his world from the variety of
resources (blocks) that can be found in the world, to win the
game you have to defeat the so called “Ender Dragon” which
rules over the dimension called “The End” when you manage
to defeat the dragon the game still allows the player to
continue to do whatever he wants to do in his world.
Minecraft also has an Online game
addition to it called Multyplayer and the
servers which players can play on with
each other are run on server providers
round the world and all of them have
different game modes to choose from
depending on what the player wants to
compete in or if the player wants to
survive in a sandbox world to the end of
the game with one or more of his
friends.
