Revisión in 2015: grammar and spelling control.
In this eBook I’m going to talk about several topics related to video games. In the first chapter I’ll give some basic information on what a video game is. Then I’ll continue with the history of video games in the second chapter. When did this type of industry start? What have been the developments until now? In the same chapter I’ll go through the history of game consoles, the different generations released and some of their specifications. The following chapter will be about the development of games. What are the different phases of video game development? What are the different roles given to the developers team? And how much does the development of a video game cost?
In the fourth chapter I’ll talk about the main genres, like RTS, first person shooter, etc., and I'll give a short description with each one of them. I’ll also go through several sub-genres, like action-adventure, and some genres will be discussed that are not so common. The following chapter will be about virtual reality and its application in several fields (video games, medicine and military). After that I will move on to the effects of Video Games. There have been a lot of scientific studies on the effects of gaming and I will go through this, both discussing the positive and negative effects. In this Chapter I will also talk about video game addiction. And finally, in the end of the book, I will give the references to the websites and articles used in this book.
