Q & A- Bad Day Nearing Completion. Published in L.A California. Aug 16, 2006.
Throughout this article Mr. McGee, who is the designer of this game sits down with a critique to explain the game that he has designed. As they go on, the critique asks him about the action in the game and if anything has changed from the last time he introduced the game. As they continue Mr. McGee explains to him all the action that is going on in the game and how the violence from the video game does not have anything to do with violence in the real world as some critiques say. They also talk about the soundtracks that are on the game and from what Mr. McGee said, “there are 100 different soundtracks on the game.” The game was also created by two studios from China and Mr. McGee believes that working with outsourced studios will help with his game. This article is also from Gamasutra which is a very reliable source. He also has an outsourcing company located in Vykarian and he is trying to build a bigger one in Shanghai.
Ocampo, Jason. American McGee show off his absurdly over the top and violent spoof of disaster movies. Sep 23, 2005
Mr. McGee said that he was inspired to create this game from a billboard that was located in Los Angeles, California that had a warning: “beware of biological attacks from terrorist.” Once he thought about it, he remembered memories from the 80s when people where spooked about the situation. After that, he started working on the game and the character that you play with in the game, Anthony. Anthony is the homeless guy who pushes the cart around down the busy streets of LA. Then it really starts to go into debt about the game and how it starts off when an airliner crashes into the road and lets out poisons that affect the citizens in the streets. After that everything goes downhill and everything turns into a wreck. Anthony just wants to get out of town but he keeps getting caught up saving people from burning buildings and from French terrorists. In the end, he basically becomes an antihero. This source is also from Gamasutra which is a great source for my paper.

Through this paper Mr. McGee is interviewed about the unique visual style that his game has. They are comparing Bad Day in LA to his other game called Alice and how the visual style is more colorful than Alice. As the interview goes on, they ask him if he wanted to do a game with such bright colors. Mr. McGee said, “the art style came into play once the story was created and the theme has been established. Art style of a game is very important and I want to make sure that the audience gets a feel of what the game looks like.” This article is supported by IGN entertainment and is a well qualified source for my paper.
Adams, Dan. Bad Day L.A. Review. September 18, 2006.
In this review the author talks about how bad the game is and how it wasn’t what they thought it was. The game was overrated and the visual style of the game was poor. The review basically talks about the game and it goes through and picks out all the bad things about the game. The reviewer also points out the embarrassing parts which are suppose to humor you and make you laugh. Everything that was done in the game was not that intriguing to the people from IGN, and they thought that the game was a wreck. This review was done by Dan Adams who is a member of the IGN entertainment. I think that the article is well qualified for my paper.

Outline for Planetgreen and Durfur is Dying
Thesis: Playing planetgreen felt more realistic to me because the things that are going on in the game are things that are from our mistakes. For instance I can learn to recycle and how to reduce the usage transportation to simpler vehicles.
Topic # 1. First game I want to talk about is planetgreen and I want to tell you about the qualities of this game. Planetgreen is so realistic because humans of today’s world are responsible for global warming. This game breaks down to us how we can help solve global warming and save our planet from extinction. Through this game you can go around to different places and ask around about what can be done to help solve global warming. You also have to pick your transportation and it’s not good for you to pick an SUV when there is a bicycle for you to ride. The game also gives you interesting facts for you to follow so that you can help with the issue. The game also shows you places that have already made plans for the future to help solve global warming. This game takes you through a series of places and it shows you what can be done to help solve global warming.
TOPIC # 2. Second game that I decided to pick is Darfur is Dying. This game is talking about the people of Darfur and how it is very hard for them to survive. The game shows how the people of Darfur have to scavage for food and water. And every time they go out to look for food they risk their life and possible the chance of capture by the militia. When you play the game it will show you what will happen to that person. Then you have the chance to go live in the camp. Even when you get there it is still very hard to survive. You can catch diseases or even die from hunger. Once you’re done playing the game it will ask you do you want to send a letter to the representatives of their country to help them.

PLanetgreen and Darfur is Dying
I think the two best games that fit together really good is PlanetGreengames and Darfur is Dying. Planetgreen shows a lot of educational facts in which we can help our planet.PLanetgreen was really interesting fact about our planet and how the things that we are doing is affecting our planet. After you play the game for a little bit it also show you ways in which you can help change the things we do so that it does not have an big impact on our planet.
The second educational game i picked was Darfur is Dying. I thought that this game was really touching because little kids are being kidnapped, abused, and raped when they are going out trying to find food and water for their family. Darfur people get caught by militia and they are taken to camps where they are mistreated. There are also some links for you to send emails to the President. And this allows you to become involved with this people to help them through their struggle.
