Games can be played on various platforms like PCs, consoles and mobile devices. Main genres include action, sports, strategy and open world games. While gaming provides benefits like improved reflexes and stress relief, disadvantages include potential addiction, inactivity and negative impacts on social life and education.

8. OUTSOURCING
Several development disciplines, such as audio, dialogue, or
motion capture, occur for relatively short periods of time. Efficient
employment of these roles requires either large development
house with multiple simultaneous title production or outsourcing
from third-party vendors.[Employing personnel for these tasks full-
time is expensive so a majority of developers outsource a portion
of the work. Outsourcing plans are conceived during the pre-
production stage where the time and finances required for
outsourced work are estimated.

9. MARKETING
The game production has similar distribution methods to those of music
and film industries.[3
The publisher's marketing team targets the game for a specific market
and then advertises it. The team advises the developer on target
demographics and market trends,as well as suggests specific features.
The game is then advertised and the game's high concept is
incorporated into the promotional material, ranging from magazine ads
to TV spots. Communication between developer and marketing is
important

11. GAMING
PLATFORMS
A gaming Platform is really just a fancy
word for a system thats used to play games
on so you could class most computers as
gaming platforms as well as gaming
computers. Xbox 360 Ps3 and Wii are also
classed as a gaming platform.

12. PC AS A GAMING
PLATFORM
The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly
configurable and upgradable gaming
platform that, among home systems,
sports the widest variety of control
methods, largest library of games, and
cutting edge graphics and sound

13. CONSOLE AS GAMING
PLATFORM
A video game console is a device that
outputs a video signal or visual image to
display a video game. The term "video
game console" is used to distinguish a
console machine primarily designed for
consumers to use for playing video games
in contrast to arcade machines or home
computers

15. TYPES OF GAMES

16. Action
First-person shooters – Quake, Half-Life, UnReal Tournament
Third person games – In these games you see your avatar on the
screen, usually from behind
Fighting games – Ono-on-one combat with swords, fists and other
hand weapons
Action-adventures – Here the plots are more complex and the
obstacles are puzzles of one kind or another

17. Sports Games
Sports games are the best-selling genre on
consoles, surpassing even action games. The new
genre of extreme sports games – Tony Hawk and
others – have strongly boosted the popularity of this
perennial favorite. Game designers find this genre a
little less appealing because, after all, most of the
game is already designed.

18. Strategy and
War Games
These Real-time Strategy games (RTS) introduced time
pressure along with good sound effects and attractive
animation and opened up this market to a new generation of
enthusiastic players. Strategy games tend to require
complicated user interfaces, and for that reason they’re
mostly found on the PC

19. Vehicle Simulators
Vehicle simulators are games about driving or
flying – cars, motorcycles, civilian and military
aircraft, tanks and science-fiction vehicles all
qualify in this category. Even a game like Drakkan,
which is about flying around on a dragon, is
essentially a vehicle simulator. Some of them are
first-person and some are third-person, but most
are switchable between camera angles.

20. Open world games
Open world is a term for video games where a
player can move freely through a virtual world and
is given considerable freedom in regards to how or
when to approach objectives, as opposed to other
computer games that have a more linear structure
to its gameplay
