point and click games

What are point and click games?, Point and click games are games where the player makes the decision for example a part of a game could show multiple choices for what the character should do in the game.

When point and clicks games started to become well known in the gaming genre of adventure, an example of a popular point and click adventure game would be MYST, this game shows a first person view of the character and the game player chooses what the character does, this game was so popular that six million copies were sold because of what style of game that it was.

Later through the years point and click games were not being bought as much to when they first came out mainly because that every couple years different games consoles were coming out like the play station one, but another thing to notice is that the graphics on the different platforms of games and consoles were so advanced that the graphics in point and click games were not matching up to what the gamers wanted so  the better the graphics were on the consoles the less point and click games were being sold.

But even to this year point and click games are being incorporated in to games like Tomb raider: Angel of darkness, firstly i played this game and a mission that you have to use point and click is where you are talking to this woman about someone you somehow murdered and you have to pick different things to say to not let this woman call the police. Another game that uses point and click is G.T.A IV point and click is used when the gamer either lets a certain character dies by executing them or letting them live.

A game that i have recently played is called The wolf among us, and this game is built around point and click so the story of the game can develop to what the gamer has made the character do. firstly this game is downloadable on the P.S.3, this game also uses multiple narratives, it also shows the darker side of the good guys that were in little red riding hood and then it shows the lighter side of the bad guys in little red riding hood you could say that this game is like a paradox or it is a parallel side to the fairy tale, one of the missions in this game show you playing as wolf and you are talking to the woodsman and some of the choices that you make with this character could end up with having a fight with him.
