What I can say from researching the different game genres so far is there is so many new game genres appearing all the time from simulation, puzzle etc…

My favourite genre is simulation, puzzle games including Sims 4, Peggle and lots more that I can think of. I like to play these games because they challenge your skill level with the different levels in the puzzle games and you also get to create your character and play how you want to play and do what you want to do.

The Sims 4 is my favourite game to play because you can play this game for ages and never get bored of it and you also find things to do and different places to explore.

The Sims 4 is simulation and life based game that is designed to create your sims, design houses, play with their life. It’s a never-ending game that always gives you new quests to do. The aim of the game is to not let your sims die or death will come and get them and that’s means it is the end of the game. The Sims 4 can be played on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, Macintosh operating systems. This is a game that all people could play but I think targeted audience is primarily 18-30 year olds.

In addition I like to play is Peggle. Peggle is a puzzle game that you put your skills to the ultimate test with 75 challenges as you rack up bonus points and style shots you’ll smile about for weeks. Face off against friends or the computer in Duel mode. It’s an epic blend of luck and skill that msnbc.com calls one of the “Top 5 most addictive video games of all time!”. This is a game that can be played on Microsoft Windows, Macintosh operating systems, Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, Nintendo DS, Windows Mobile, iOS, Zeebo and Android. The age that people play Peggle is 15-40 year olds.

Idle game genre is a genre which is one that I starting to get back into as I didn’t play as much. As you didn’t have to be on game all the time as it still plays in the background and when dive back into it gives you the progress on what happened while you were away from the game. Hay Day was the first game Idle game I played. This game is about skills. Hay Day is about
learning the lay of the land, tend to your crops, and trade goods with neighbours and friends. It’s a real special place where the crops never die even though it never rains. Sharing the farm with our quirky animals only makes things more fun. It can be a bit time consuming because of how is your farm going and the resources. This game is targeted for children and adults who like to run their own farm. But if your children are playing the game it is best to disable in-app purchases in settings.

Racing game genre that is a board game and they have always been there. I have played many racing game in my time. The best racing game that I have played is Crash Tag Team Racing. The main highlight of Crash Tag Team Racing is the ability to merge two cars. As a result, one of the players shoots other cars, while the other one drives. This game can be played on PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, PSP. This is a game that targets younger people or adults who are aged 13-30 years old

Strategy game is games that emphasize skillful thinking and planning to achieve victory. It can also emphasizes strategic, tactical, and sometimes logistical challenges. Dawn of Man Is one of the games that I would play in the future. Dawn of Man can be played on Microsoft Windows, Macintosh operating systems and Linux. This is a game that older kids could play and adults who are aged 18-30 years old
