essay topics

In accordance with the variety of perspectives, an essay may focus on the commercial aspects of games, or, for example, software engineering aspects, or the design of community games. Consider writing an essay about:

• the success of games -- criteria for comparison
• game engine architecture -- options for extensibility
• community games -- models for sharing information

When writing, make sure that you provide enough information about the actual history of games. And, remind that games require real-time performance, whereas the movies that may have triggered your phantasy may get away with effects that require many hours of processing. Afterall, games are about interaction!
