4. Interview:
1.What games are you looking forward to and why? (not yet released)
Smash bros, Pokémon.

PC, because you can get so many more indie games that are free, or cheaper than every other and you can find new
developers.
3.What’s your all time favourite game, how come?
Sly Cooper 2:Band of Thieves. Because it is creative, uses many basic ideas, but expands on them throughout and lets the player
have fun. There is almost a side quest on every level of finding all the bottles, but it is a possible one unlike most as they make
the signature sound.

Alone because I know few people who like to play the same games as me.

to just play a nice game. I often feel annoyed as I keep dying or getting stuck in an area, although many times it is very relaxing

Yes I do, as I have grown up with very competitive family that it makes me want to win the games.

It does generally help me, as it gives me some enjoyment and helps to distract me, and give me a little bit of an escape from
my daily life.

All the other written elements of your fanzine are up to you but should be documented here. If you decide to write a
review, a polemic, an article or anything else, it needs to be documented here.
Drafts are good so it is worth writing a first draft then producing a second which not only checks for spelling and grammar
errors but also ensures that your work has a consistent style, quality and structure.
Recording your research, as and when it happens, is also a very strong idea. If you need to look up a fact or read an article,
record that.

7. 10th page: Video Game Addiction
Video game addiction is a very real issue. It comes in the form of
excessive use of Video games. I think its probably more common
then you might think. The hard part is realizing when you have the
reacted the point of being addicted. Some people ae just spend a
lot of their time playing games. This isn’t video game addiction,
the difference is your priorities. If someone's finds that they would
prioritize video games over responsibilities and other important
things, they might be addicted. This can be hard to notice
happening, as it can be such a slow and gradual shift.
It can seem simple, if some plays then a game a lot then they are
addicted right? As far I can tell, a fair few people seem to think
this. I think it is primarily set in someone’s priorities. Hopefully this
issue will come into the spotlight more, and get the attention it
needs. In my opinion, I don’t think it should be a mental disorder,
as it can go away. But this can take a lot of time, patience and
persistence.
I think it’s something you have to monitor yourself, like other
things that can lead to addiction. This could be Alcohol, drugs,
social media, Television, etc. Sure, others might be able to see a
difference in their friends and relatives, but a some addictions can
sometimes be well hidden. Hopefully giving it more of spotlight
will help remind people of the struggle it can bring.

9. 3rd page/ 4th page: Game review
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
-Spoiler warning for the following review for this game-
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a action-roleplaying game. The game starts off by showing you a
introduction called the Mechanical Apartheid. This sets up the story so well, as It was so well made. It
shows the adoption of augmentations into humanity, a huge cyber attack on the augmentations, and
the rejection of people with augments or, Augs for short. It sets up the Naturals vs Augs theme that is
centered throughout the game.
The game starts in the year 2029, following the events of the previous game, Human Revolution. You
start the game in Dubai, intercepting a illegal weapons trade. Mysterious gold-masked operatives
appear and kill almost everyone there. This event worked so well to set up this mysterious opposition.
This combined great with the speech and story choices. As you can take different stances in a
conversation, this might make the character attack you or maybe relax around you. The choices can
directly affect other characters as well. A great example of this is when I came across a character
called Olivie. She was being smuggled by a criminal family, if you choice to confront the family then
she doesn’t get to leave, if you leave the smuggler she does. Many of the games choices play on your
morals, these get harder as the game goes on.
I have to really commend the developers for the level/world design. The use of vents and other useful
paths is great. The way they are weaved most of the game, so well laid out. This sort of multiple paths
and methods to get around the game world helps you grow as you play. You learn pretty soon that
you have to think of possible alternate paths, and challenge the options that are in the foreground.
In summary, I really liked the game’s use of choices and different outcomes, level/world design,
setting, you vs them mentality, environmental storytelling. Edios Montréal made such a good game,
they should proud of their creation.
