videogame from the last two years

                                                           500 words of a video game.



The game i have researched is called 'Dark' it is a Xbox game which was released in July 5th 2012 which is quiet recent. The genre is a:Action adventure which involves vampires, supernatural creatures and also involves abit of adventure as you have to go on a hunt and find different things. This is a brief description of the game 'Dark' This is about Dark is a third person stealth action role playing game that puts players in the role of Eric recently turned vampire who has supernatural and vampire powers that allow them to teleport, become invisible, night vision and the ability to slow time. it sounds more of a horror game but is actually really fun to play with.
The developer is a person called Kalypso. The developer got his inspiration from other teenagers who like to play games that had adventure and action so he combined them together and created this game which is now a popular game.

This Xbox game 'Dark' was promoted through a trailer which viewed 78,867 and then it was released into stores which more people became attracted to and then bought. The actual cover itself of the Xbox game appeared like this. It is a very big human vampire with a huge moon covering the right hand covering underneath with cities and different places the corner of the cover and added with white glowing texts that has a foggy affect to it which attracted most people to buying it as it seemed like a cool game that involves action and adventure.


The age rating is clearly listed it is a 16 and above which states it is made for teenagers that like action as it also does involve violence that is why it is listed for 16 and above so the main target audience was older teenagers and at the back it states the age rating and how to play the game which is the demo.

 
The game itself is retailed for £21.98 which is quiet reasonable price for a game that involves allot of action. But as the game got old the price dropped and became cheaper.


This is one of the action scenes from Dark.


Dark Souls 

Dark was a successful game as it released another game called 'Dark Soul' which got twice as many people buying it and it was sold out in a couple of days but according to others they didn't find the game as fun they thought it was boring.


i didn't find a Facebook, twitter page for dark but the newer version game they released has a Facebook page which looks like this
Here are reviews on the game from people who have played it and reviewed it.


Opinions vary. I, myself, barely play games without an aspect of stealth, so I am pretty much a stealth-addict. Furthermore, I love DE: HR and think it is one of the best games out there'   as you can see this person is addicted which is a positive review.

For that matter, it can be played as an action game (as in up-front shooting), but the difficulty increases. It is intended as stealth, therefore is often played that way -- but isn't required to.  This person is reviewing it as a difficult game but action.

just boring. The characters move awkwardly. Their faces have no expressions at all. The graphics are barely acceptable. And the "dragging" dead enemies is so poorly done. It's plain ugly. I gave it a fear chance, but it felt like torture.  there is also some bad reviews suggesting the games boring and not worth it but different people's opinions varies

To conclude if your a type of person that likes vampires and action then this is a game for you if your more adventurous then this game isn't much of an adventure but has got a majority of positive reviews and a few negatives but everyone's opinions varies upon what kind of games you like.
