Once you’ve selected and played your game, write a 300 word (minimum) analysis of the game play, art style, storyline, character development, music, and any other aspects of the game that caught your attention. These can either be favorable views or strong criticisms, but they should be carefully and clearly articulated. Bring these reviews to class, typed and printed to turn in.
