Examples of action-adventure games: The Legend of Zelda, Tomb Raider, God of War, Resident evil.

Role-Playing Games:

What is an role-playing game?: Probably the second most popular video game genre, role-playing games or rpg games for short, are games that are set in a medieval or fantasy setting, this is due because of the origin of the genre which traces back from the old board game dungeons and dragons.

Types of role-playing games: There are many different types of role-playing games for example Action RPG: These games take game elements of both action games and action-adventure games, with these types of games the combat takes place in real time and depends on the players reaction time to defeat the enemy. MMORPG: Which also stands for massive multiplayer online role playing games, these types of games involve hundreds and hundreds of playing interacting which each other, a lot of players do like to pretend that they are the character that they are playing as.

Examples of role-playing games: World of Warcraft,  Guild Wars, The Elder Scrolls Online, Star Trek Online.

Strategy Games:

What is an strategy game?: These types if games have gameplay based on traditional strategy board games, strategy games give players a access to the world and it's resources, these types of games requires the player to use their brain and carefully developed strategy and tactics to overcome the challenges on the game, now a days most of these games have turned into turned based games.

Types of strategy games: Real-Time strategy: real-time strategy games requires the player to collect and maintain resources in their own bases and while using these resources they make combat units and other resources, and go to the enemy base and destroy the enemy base.  Tower Defense: In these types of games players must fight off  computer- controlled enemies to win the game, each tower defense game varies and has different elements.

Examples of strategy games: Star craft,  Kingdom rush, Plants vs Zombies, Dungeon Defenders, Orcs must die.

Why are you interested in these games?: I picked these games because I think in my opinion these are probably sum of the most popular gaming genres, and I have played all these genres, the genre that I played the most was action- games but i did play the others here and there but I do prefer to play fast pace action games.

What previous knowledge you have?: Like I said before I've played every genre I mentioned before and I think that will help me with what type of game I would want to create.

What kind of games would you like to create: I really I'm leading over to make a plat-former games like sly copper, or jak and daxter with a combat element with guns, so it's a third person shooter game with a mix of platforming.
