In the beginning of 80s, This company was very popular in America.  And in 1982, is the 10th anniversary of ATARI. the annual sales approached 2 billions dollar.

Author: Tiancheng Huang   Hi, guys! After the many blog about League of Legends. Let's talk about one of my favorite game. It called "The Stanley Parable" that is an interactive fiction video game designed by Davey Wreden .  This game mode is very interesting, is about you play as the main character Stanley, and you need to make decision, choose the which way you want to pick.   And depend on your choices, it will have different ending.

And the computer is the best courier of these video games. For the modern child, computer are vital and the amount of time that they devote on them has constantly been on the rise.

Author: Zefeng Zheng Need for Speed is the second sport game I want to introduce, or we can call it as a street racing game. The game is created by Electronic Arts and currently developed by Ghose Games. Need for Speed is one of the most successful video game franchises at all time, selling 150 million copies of games. In the game, the players control a race car in a variety races, the goal being to win the race. In the career mode, the player needs to win the race in order to unlock the new vehicles. The more races you win, the more luxury vehicles you will unlock and they will bring you a totally different feeling when you hear the growl from the engine. What's interest in this game is that you can both play as a racer and police. Street racing of course is an illegal match, so the police will launch their special vehicle to chase them. To chase or to be chased is your choice, but remember to finish the task in the limited time.

Author: Zefeng Zheng As I said in the last blog, every gamer needs to control the whole team which is not easy.  Under a such difficulty, how can we play the game well? 1. To know the characters of each players clearly. When you are choosing a team, understanding positions of the players is the most important thing you have to do. Once you put a player into a wrong position, you will lose the round. Also, you need to know what each player is really good at. Some are good at shooting, and the others are good at defending. 2.To grasp the good timing. When you are press a button to make a shooting, there is a timing bar at the bottom of the screen. Different players have their different best timing, so just lose the button when it arrives at the best timing. 3.Learn how to make an adjustment. As in the real round, players also get tired in the game. When they become tired, they cannot do quick responses even cannot do the best shooting. Time-out and substitution of players is the

NBA 2K17  is a basketball simulation video game  developed by Visual Concepts  and published by  2K Sports.  It is the 18th installment in the NBA 2K  franchise and the successor to NBA 2K16. It has a totally different gaming experience with the Playerunknow's Battleground which is the game that I talk about in the previous blogs. In that game, you need to communicate with you teammate. But in this game, you have to communicate with yourself, because you are the only one who can control the whole team which means that you are on charge of 5 people! So this is not easy for every player. Actually this kind of sports game has been developed more then 10 years, and the reason that NBA 2K can do better than the other same series games is Visual Concepts designed the game more real. Not only due to the high quality definition, but also the characters of every basketball athletes are d
