Action
An action game
requires players to use
quick reflexes and timing to
overcome obstacles. It is
perhaps the most basic of
gaming genres, and
certainly one of the
broadest. Action games tend
to have gameplay with
emphasis on combat. There
are many subgenres of
action games, such as
fighting games and firstperson shooters.
Shooter
A shooter game
focuses primarily on combat
involving projectile
weapons, such as guns and
missiles. They can be
divided into first-person and
third-person shooters,
depending on the camera
perspective. Some firstperson shooters use light
gun technology.
The most popular
shooter are Counter-strike
and Quake 3.
Action Adventure
Action-adventure
games tend to focus on
exploration and usually
involve item gathering,
simple puzzle solving,
and combat.
Construction and management
simulation
In city-building games
the player acts as overall
planner or leader to meet
the needs and wants of
game characters by
initiating structures for food,
shelter, health, spiritual
care, economic growth, etc.
Success is achieved when
the city budget makes a
growing profit and citizens
experience an upgraded
lifestyle in housing, health,
and goods.
Life simulation
A life simulation
game can revolve
around individuals and
relationships, or it could
be a simulation of an
ecosystem.
The most popular life
simulator is Sims
Strategy
Strategy video games
focus on gameplay requiring
careful and skillful thinking
and planning in order to
achieve victory. Strategy
video games generally take
one of four archetypal
forms, depending on
whether the game is turnbased or real-time and
whether the game's focus is
upon strategy or military
tactics.
RPG
Most cast the player in
the role of one or more
"adventurers" who specialize in
specific skill sets (such as
combat or casting magic spells)
while progressing through a
predetermined storyline. Many
involve maneuvering these
characters) through an
overworld, usually populated
with monsters, that allows
access to more important game
locations, such as towns,
dungeons, and castles
MMORPG
A massively multiplayer
online role-playing game is a
genre of computer role-playing
games in which a large number
of players interact with one
another in a virtual world. As in
all RPGs, players assume the
role of a fictional character
(often in a fantasy world), and
take control over many of that
character's actions.
The most popular MMORPG in
Russia and Ukraine is
TimeZero, Lineage II and World
of Warcraft (WOW)
Sport
When you can't be
playing your favorite sport,
why not play it on the
computer? Sports sims put
you on the sidelines and
have you manage the team
through trading, signing
contracts, changing the
lineup, etc, or take part in
the action.
Racing
Racing games
typically place the
player in the driver's
seat of a highperformance vehicle
and require the player
to race against other
drivers or sometimes
just time.
Pure
The latest and the greatest in
the seminal WipEout series, 'Pure'
distils the essence of anti-gravity
racing and futuristic adrenalinefuelled combat. Hi-tech weapons,
hi-octane speed and a high-tempo
dance soundtrack combine to
deliver an explosive taste of the
future directly into your hands.
Supporting up to eight players via a
Wi-Fi link for multiplayer gameplay,
gamers will be able to take on their
friends and attempt to blast enemy
ships to pieces in a fierce
competition for top racing honors.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
The Zone is a huge
abandoned territory, with twentyyear-old dilapidated buildings,
overgrown with forests and
anomalous vegetation. It is a
territory with deserted surface and
underground research facilities,
neglected military bases and
testing grounds for new
technologies. The radioactive land
is covered with sores of burned out
soil, poisonous fogs, and deadly
gravitational anomalies. It is a world
of a terrible anthropogenic disaster,
and in the center of this hell sit the
remains of the Chernobyl Nuclear
Power Plant.
