Raekwon Smith Capstone

Posted by Raekwon Smith in Capstone - Rami - Wed on

​The inspiration behind this Capstone began when I was in my Junior year. I was in Mr. Miles’ class and he said, “I wish someone would so video game reviews for their capstone, like play the games and extensively review them in the end.” When I heard him say this I knew I was the perfect person to do this. I was able to mix video games with school and it actually made school fun for once. It was difficult for me at first because I couldn’t decide which games I wanted to play because there are just so many I have an opinion about. Finally, I chose to play new games and let people know if they are worth playing and buying or not. I had more difficulties when I decided that I wanted to play all Xbox One games because the system was my father’s and he moves in from room to room and on occasion takes in out of town with him. This means I had to find time to play the games while I balanced schoolwork, baseball, and people always being around the Xbox. Eventually, I found the time to do this and was able to complete the games to my best capability and write the best reviews possible.

When I first looked at this resource, I already knew that it would be quite helpful. It touches on a genre of video games that I will be reviewing which is Shooters, Role Playing Games also known as RPG’s, Action and Adventure. It show’s me how to format a review and what things I should include. I also know which things would probably be pointless to include. IGN is a well known website and they are one of the official gaming sites. I know they would be a good source and a good model for how a review should look.

"Twitch." Twitch. N.p., n.d. Web. 30 Jan. 2015.

Twitch tv shows me examples on how to conduct a live stream video. Twitch allows to you to live stream a video and people can watch you and it tells you how many people are currently viewing you and allows them to comment during the stream. Twitch is a partner with both the Xbox One and The Playstation 4 which are owned by Microsoft and Sony respectively and this would allow me to live stream my gaming as I play so being able to live stream is pretty easy and gives me options on how I want to present my content.

Interview with Penelope Deoliveira

Video Games." Personal interview. 15 Apr. 2015.

Interviewing Penelope gave me the perspective of the more hardcore gamer. She is someone who loves to play video games and wants to create video games for a living. She has already created her own video game and I was able to play and review her work. This interview will help show the diversity in the gaming community as she is deemed as a “female gamer”
