Bungie Reach Website

http://www.bungie.net/Projects/Reach/default.aspx

I love the design of the Bungie Halo Reach website. It has a very cool picture of a planet in the background that uses colors that perfectly interact with one another. The menu is easily noticeable and has a tag for anything you would look for. It has an area that is used for showing all of the latest news of their game. I love how it has an entire section of menu devoted to linking to different categories of images. The website is very easy to use and to navigate. I love how they have separate menus for their game, and for their website itself.

My History with the Internet

          My first memory of the internet is playing a really stupid game and looking up information for games I played. The first game I played was a game were you were swimming in a pool, with people walking around the top of it, and you had to fart bubbles up to them to kill them. I would look up cheats for pokemon, like how to duplicate pokemon that I had. I would also use it to look up walkthroughs to help me get through parts of my games that I had trouble geting through. My first memory of the internet was using it for games.
          I use the internet differently then I do now. I used to use the internet for helping me get through parts in my games I had trouble geting past. Now I use it for playing games online with other people. I also use the internet to research information for research papers in school. The way I have used the internet in the past is very different from how I use it now.
          I will probably use the internet very differently in the future. I will use the internet to help me file my taxes. I will use it to order things to be delivered to my house. I will use it to make my own website and host games i create. I will be using the internet very differently then i do now.

Borderlands

A game i have had a fascination with is Borderlands. It is the first of its kind, a game that incorporated the online multiplayer RPGs and a first person shooter. It was a fantastic mix, because it could attract both people who love to play RPGs and people who love to play first person shooters.They managed to incorporate many of the elements in RPGs into a first person shooter. One was, like the armor you colect and switch out with all the time in RPGs, shields, which you find various versions of with different capacities and abilities. Another was the weapons, which to do they made a huge range of different types of weapons you could find, because every time your about to find a gun, it will be randomly generated with a number of different gun parts, features, and every statistic, so to obtain good weapons you will have to look for one, just like in a RPG. The third similarity is the skills, which in borderlands is the special ability of the character you chose. Each of the four characters has a different ability, like to drop a shielded turret, or to throw a flaming attack bird, and as you level up you gain points to spend on different abilities which affect your gameplay, whether it be to increase your gun's fire rate, or to increase the damage of your turret.
The beuty of Borderlands is taht it is the first of its kind, so what it is now is only a preview into what it will be, and what other games will be. Borderlands is only the start, so the future looks good.
