ENTERTAINMENT ular Pop video games For those who don’t know what video games are, video games are electronic devices that are played on a TV, computer, or even on your phone. One game that is popular right now is Minecraft. Minecraft is a sandbox game that you can use your imagination with blocks. Minecraft is available on Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Tablets, Phones, and PC/MAC. I’d suggest you get the PC/MAC version, it costs the most, but you will have a choice to pick between single player and multiplayer. However, when you play the PC/MAC version, you may notice that it will be a little laggy at first for both multiplayer and single player, but once you start playing it for a few minutes, it shouldn’t be as slow. Minecraft has two game modes that you can play. There is Survival mode for players that want to fight monsters with limited hearts and limited supplies. You can also play in Creative mode for players that have unlimited supplies. You can build up to high heights, and you can’t die. Minecraft is for creative minds both young and old. Another popular game is Super Smash Bros. Super Smash Bros is a melee game where characters like Mario, Link, and many others compete to be- come the best fighter. Super Smash Bros is only available for Nintendo game systems. One of this game’s many great features is the ability to challenge players across the globe. Street Fighter fans will appreciate this game for its likeness and inclusion of many beloved Nintendo characters. Lastly, The Legend of Zelda is a classic puzzle-solving game. Like Super Smash Bros, The Legend of Zelda can only be played on a Nintendo system. Gamers find The Legend of Zelda an extremely hard and lengthy adventure. All of these games are fun to play. These games are a “must have” for any gamer. Cole, 13 May/June 2017 17
