Knowing Your Game

2 10 2010

Picking the right game plays a vital role to your gaming enjoyment. This way, you don’t have to waste your money for a bad game. Here are some tips I’d like to share:

1. Know what you want. If you’re up for shooting games, then find shooting games. If you’re a hardcore fan of RPG, then look for RPG. Don’t buy a Final Fantasy game if you are the sport gamer type and not aware of what RPG is. You should know how to categorize yourself to what genre of games you belong. Don’t just buy whatever new game you see. At the end of the day, you always know what you want.

2. Make a list. Trust me, making a list of the games you want to have really helps. If you do not have enough money to purchase everything you want for a particular time, then add everything you missed on your wish list. That will grant you the time to save up so you can avail the games in your wish list. You cannot always buy everything you want in a single installment.

3. What’s hot is really what’s hot. You don’t buy games that are a decade-old. You buy games that are much talked about today. Find a good game that you can boast or share. Never go over the ones that everyone has already forgotten.

4. Those who played it know it. It wouldn’t hurt to check the internet or game magazines for the reviews. You can also ask your friends or co-gamers about the games that they already played. There are so many available resources where you can learn if a game is good or not. For instance, you can check Gamespot and read about the editor’s reviews on the latest games. If it has a bad rating, probably it can go below your list. If it has a 5-star rating, chances are it really is a game that will give you much enjoyment and fun.

5. You want one, you want them all. If it is a sequel, then you will probably love the other game titles under the same umbrella. If you loved Resident Evil: Director’s Cut, then you will love other Resident Evil titles as well.
