Week 11 Blog Assignment

1. What is the game? The game is "Call to Duty 3".

2. Why did you pick it? I thought it fit the topic of peace and conflict better than "Tiger Woods 2007", or "Madden 2006".

3. How is it media? It is media because it portrays the Germans v. the Americans in a combat situation. The Americans are the good guys and the Germans are bad.

4. What messages does it send to the player? That Americans are good and Germans are bad.

5. Are these messages positive or negative? Mostly negative on the German side, however I don't think there is much of a positive message about about war in general. Are there both types of messages or just one or the other? Mostly it is based on the American side of WWII, however I did feel bad when I killed a German in hand-to-hand combat.

6. Why did you assign this? Once again, I believe the reason for this assignment is to think outside the box. The purpose of this assignment is to get us to realize that media is an influence throughout our everyday lives. Mo matter what we do and how we go about our business, we are influenced by the media.
