Ayiti and Evoke are are both educational games about world issues.  They teach how these issues affect peoples lives and others.  I played the Mcdonalds game and it shows how chain reactions work in order to display someone's life and how they have to work hard to succeed.  I lost really fast the first couple of times i played.  The game was very hard because you had to take care of a whole bunch of things.  You have to keep an eye on the farm, the factory, restaurant, and look at the business and happiness of costomers.  Compared to Ayiti and Evoke this is kind of an exageration of what really happens in real life.  Not one person runs all of the manufacturing business of mcdonalds.  Each person in the business has a different job.  The mcdonalds game is more like Ayiti beacause it takes more thinking.  You have to keep people happy, educated, jobless, and have enough money in order to succeed.  I don't think that Evoke is a game at all beacause all you do is read comics and articles and reflect on them. BORING!!

McDonald's v.s. Ayiti

I played the game, McDonald's the Video Game, where it was your job to help manage the chain restaurant by raising cows, growing soy to feed them, slaughtering them, and making sure that the business stayed afloat. My cows kept dying and my crops would never harvest at the right time. There were no customers, and the management of the company were getting really mad at me. I didn't win once, and I played for like 20 rounds. I guess that shows you that big chain businesses are bound to fail one day, or at least if you let a middle-schooler take control.The game reminded me of one of the other games that we played in Tech. class this semester. It was called Ayiti: The Cost of Life, wheree you were given a virtual family in Haiti tot take care of, making sure that they were safe, had food to eat, and had a good and happy life. That reminded me of how you had to keep the cows alive in the McDonalds's game, although the preservation of life in each is for totally different reasons. In Ayiti, you are supposed to keep the family safe from harm so that you realize how hard it is to stay safe and healthy in a tough environment like the one in Haiti.

    Not all games are the same. Some are games that require no physical materials, like coins, dice, cards, or tokens, and some are electronic video games played on a TV or a computer. Both are played for the same reason: entertainment. Others seem designed to encourage large quantity players to compete in tournaments, to further their enjoyment of the game. On the other side of the spectrum, there are games simply made to just casually enjoy the game. These games require no extreme forms of playing, or require numerous hours of practice to be considered 'adequate'. Whatever game it is, the goals are always the same: To entertain the people who spend their money on it. I personally enjoy playing games because I can get entertainment out of it. For me it's a fun way of passing the time by yourself, or with friends.

The Good game, The Bad game, and the Ugly game

by Daniel

 

The game Ayiti (Haiti) isn't my type of game I really don't play games at all. I just sit home and watch TV. The game was hard to play and I was confusing, Every time I would put one of the family members at work my. The only time I play games is when i have nothing to do.I like Need For Speed Pro Street and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Need for speed is a fun game to play is better then just sitting down playing a PC game. There more action, you can customize your own car and performance of your car. You can also take over your city to make your self known.

Everybody loves shooting games, Call Of Duty Modern warfare 2. That the most popular shooting game in the country. Who doesn't play that game. Honestly I was playing Call of Duty ever since the first one. I like to play it online for x box 360.

So my brother has the game system called Xbox right. He also has a game for it called Modern Warfare 2. He's so addicted to the game that when he comes straight home from school or work or hanging out, he goes straight to the living room, and turns on that specific game. He doesn't even take off his clothes or his coat or his shoes. He just plays.

He could even play for 6 hours straight with no water break or bathroom break. I think hes now crossed the line to addicted. I think its so sad. He always gets in trouble too because he doesn't do thingas that hes suppose to because hes so caught up. It's kind of pathedic to me.

I think he should stop before it ruins his life. Sometimes hes even late for school  or work because of his game addiction. His favorite line is "im live, so don't bother me". Ib hate when he says that it pisses me off so much. Hes soi ridiculous.

Why are people so addicted to these games. These games to me are pointless and maybe just a tad bit exciting. Im going to try to play this game one day so I can see what the fuss is all about

Not all games are the same. There is a variety of different games you could play because you have the option to play a computer game or you could play a board game or a game on a console like X box 360 or Play Station 3 which are played for various reasons. For example a family might play connect four or monopoly. Others seem to be designed to fit the interest of the variety of society because not everyone likes to play the same type of games, while some people like shooter games others might enjoy racing. Whatever the game is, the goals are always the same which is to create a game that will not only be played world wide but keep gamers hooked for a long period of time so they can continue to profit. I enjoy playing games because when your playing a game you tend to put yourself in your gamers shoes so if your about to die or crash you jump or get nervous because you feel like the person your playing as is you and you wouldn't let yourself get hurt to you try to protect yourself or get out of the way in whatever the situation may be.

Games. I have played a lot of games and I am very good at games. Two games that I have played in my life are Counter-Strike and Ayiti: the cost of life. There are many differences when comparing these two games and not so many similarities. Counter-Strike is one of the most popular online multi-player games every played and Ayiti is not so well known and it just a browser game.

One of the games I have been addicted to for years now is Counter-Strike. Counter-Strike is one of my most favorite games and I have been playing it for many years now. Indeed I am very good at it. I have played this game mostly every day of my life. Well maybe not every day of my life but I have played it a lot. I think the reason I am so addicted to it is because I am so good at it.. and another reason is that its an online multi-player game so I can never get bored of it because something different always happens when I play it. Although I'm starting to get bored of it now.

Comparison of Ayiti: Cost of Life, and my favorite game.
by Emily Kerins

Not all games are the same. Some are played on the computer, or on a game console, or even outside, and these are all played for fun and joy. Others seem to be designed to possibly make money, or to show the players what something is actually like in reality. While some are played simply for enjoyment. Whatever game it is, the goals are always the same: to win. I like playing games because I think they are fun, no matter what type of game it is: a board game, a computer game, or a game I would have to walk outside and play. I like these types of games because they are fun, and I can always play them with a friend or family member.

Words vs Life: Scrabble over Ayiti?
by Gaby

Not all games are the same. Some are board games,or computer games sometimes even played for educational purposes. Other games seem to be designed for entertainment. Sometimes game-makers want people to reacts with care and understanding for a certain topic. While some are played simply for the joy of having fun sometimes while even learning new things along the way. Whatever game it is, the goals are always the same: To get the game player interested and want to learn or play more. Sometimes I enjoy games when I am studying and want to remember quick facts. Not only that but I enjoy games that simply entertain my curiosity on a certain topic, though sometimes I don't enjoy playing games because that could mean being stuck in someplace for too long.

Another reason people play games is that they want to have a sense of accomplishment which they can gain when they win a game. Whatever game it is, the goals are always the same: to win.

Apples to Apples and Ayiti
By: Emma Natanzon

Not all games are the same. Some are computer games, card games, or board games played for recreational reasons. Others seem to be designed to educate the players. While some are played simply to pass the time. Whatever game it is, the goals are always the same: to win. Personally, I enjoy playing games because I am a competitive person and like to beat other people at games. Sometimes though, people get so competitive that they cheat, and then the game takes a sour turn. In all, no matter what types of games you play,it is a fun and in some cases, educational, activity to do with your friends and family.

Comparison of Two Games: MW2 and Ayiti:the cost of life
by Ian

Not all games are the same. Some are RPG, Strategy, Action, Sport, Music,and Educational games.They are played to exite people. Others seem to be designed to make people think. While some are played simply for fun. Whatever game it is, the goals are always the same: to make people attacted to the game. I play games for a few reasons. They are fun and make me think hard about strategy.

I am addicted to shooting games, whether it be MAG, MW2, Ratchet and Clank, or any James Bond game. Anything and everything that shoots. I love to use stategy to finda good place to snipe, sometimes I just go crazy and dont think just run and shoot, When I am succesful it makes me feel like I am better than every one else and I continue this way non-stop. I also enjoy helping my team mates reach a certain objective. I enjoy knowing that I'm one step closer to unlocking the best weaponsto being a winner. If I happen to lose, I do what any other good player would do. I tell myself that I suck and need to do better. I always come back because I know I can do better. MW2 is a race first one there wins.

Apples to Apples and A'yiti
by Michelle

Not all games are the same. Some are video games played to merely entertain. Others seem to be designed to inform and educate. A good game should be fun. While some are played simply for a break from the real world. Whatever game it is, the goals are always the same: to win. In this way, games have a competetive side, and a little competition is something I enjoy. I also enjoy playing games because of their ability to bring people together.

Ayiti vs. Sports Games:
Comparison Galore
by Ilan

Not all games are the same. Some are played for releasing stress. Others seem to be designed to bring families together. For boys and girls, games are made to interact and mingle with others. For adults, games are designed to make them feel like their a kid again. While some are played simply for entertainment, others play games to keep their minds off something. Whatever game it is, the goals are always the same: have fun and enjoy the one part in life where you don't have to worry. I enjoy playing games because when I'm done with my homework and I feel tired and worried about school I sit down and play a couple of games so that I forget about my worries. Also when I'm fighting with my brother we both sit down and play our favorite games and laugh with each other.

All about Games...games.. and more games.....
by Alexa

Not all games are the same. Some are video games that are for entertainment and are usually played on computers or on Nintendo systems and more. Other games are played just for fun. Others seem to be designed to give players a chance to be something other than what they are in reality, it's kinda like escaping reality.the response that games are trying to get is different because there is a wide variety of game genres and children may think something different from the adults. For example children may think they are cool while some adults it's just a waste of time and money. While some are played simply for fun other people may play games for physical therapy for instance when they play with the Nintendo Wii. Whatever game it is, the goals are always the same:to finish the game and claim victory.I personally enjoy playing games,especially games that have action,adventure and a bit of violence.what i also like about games are for everyone whether you are big or small.

Not all games are the same. Some games are action games, role play games, sport games, and more that are all played for your entertainment.  Others seem to be designed to help you learn. These games help children and adults of all age learn lessons about life or help expand their minds. While some are played simply for letting time pass and enjoy your favorite games. Whatever game it is, the goals are always the same: Have a strategy to win and enjoy. Games help me enjoy my time because it lets me unwind and forget the "real" world. Also, I get to be in "control" of the fantasy world and I can control what happens.

They are trying to get a good response from people. They try to make games good for everyone. While some are played simply for something to do all day, it fills in a gap. Whatever game it is, the goals are always the same:To have fun ,playing games people loveI love playing games. They fill in a major component of my life, lazy hard core purely awesome fun!!!

Not all games are the same. Some are video games played for the sake of immersing oneself in an entirely different world all together. Others seem to be designed to challenge the mind with puzzles or trivia. Those types of games are trying to get people of all ages, men and women, to be engaged in the game, trying to make sure that the people who buy the games are interested and challenged at the same time. While some are played simply for pleasure, relaxation, leisure, and entertainment. Whatever game it is, the goals are always the same: keep the player engaged and interested and to make sure the player wants to keep playing. There are some games that I like to play because they take my mind off of other things, and they make me want to delve deeper to experience more of what the game had to offer. Many games are fun to play because of friendly competition, whether it is online or playing a sport in the park. There are games that I don't like playing though, because they make you want to spend all of your time playing the game and keep you engaged so much that you would rather play it than hang out with friends or family.

The Comparison of Two Rather Different Games

I play racing games, shooting games, adventure games and the list goes on and on. My friends and I compete this way.
