Some Information Not Mine!!!

Game Info:

Grand Theft Auto III was released in October 2001. The game's setting takes place around that time, in fictional Liberty City, which is loosely based on New York City, but also incorporates elements of other American cities. Grand Theft Auto III brought a third-person view to the series, rather than the traditional top-down view of earlier titles (although the view is still made available as an optional camera angle). Graphics were also updated with a new 3D game engine. While not the first of its kind, the gameplay engine expanded the explorable world of GTA III, doing away with a traditional game structure where the player faces a "boss" at the end of the level and moves onto a new level, opting instead for more realistic mission-based approach.

After the success of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was released in 2002. This game was set in 1986 in Vice City, which was based on Miami. Vice City was also the first game to introduce fully functional flying vehicles that could be used by the player, such as sea planes and helicopters. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, released in October 2004, had its setting in the summer of 1992, focusing on California gang life and the awakening of the drug epidemic brought on by crack cocaine. The setting was in the fictional state of San Andreas, which was based on some California and Nevada cities, specifically Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. Their counterparts are Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas respectively. The game also included a countryside in between Los Santos and San Fierro and also between Los Santos and Las Venturas, and a desert in between Las Venturas and San Fierro.

The latest installment of the series, Grand Theft Auto IV, was released on April 29, 2008, after a six month delay. It was the first Grand Theft Auto game to be released simultaneously on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms. GTA IV's game engine is the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (also known as RAGE) used in Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis. The game once again takes place in a redesigned Liberty City that very closely resembles New York City, much more than previous renditions.

Why Its My Favourite?:

GTA is one of the most fun games i have played, its cool because you get to roam free around the city and you have set missions which you dont have to do one after another, you can take your time at doing the missions.

Another thing is that you can drive, ride, climb etc... which makes the game nore exciting and less boring.

Console History

FIRST VIDEO GAME:
Alexander S. Douglas invented the first computer game in 1952 that could use a digital and graphical display.

FIRST GENERATION:
The first computer games appeared in the 50s,they used vector displays, not video. It was not until 1972 that Magnavox released the first home video game console, the Magnavox Odyssey, was invented by Ralph H. Baer.
SECOND GENERATION:
Fairchild released the Fairchild Video Entertainment System (VES) in 1976. There had been previous game consoles that used cartridges, the cartridges had no information and served the same function as flipping switches (the Odyssey) or the console itself was empty and the cartridge contained all of the game data.
THIRD GENERATION:
In 1983, Nintendo released the Famicom in Japan.The Famicom had high-resolution and tiled backgrounds, but with more colors. This allowed Famicom games to be longer and have more detailed graphics. Nintendo brought their Famicom over to the US in the form of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1985. In the US, video games were seen as a fad that had already passed.
FOURTH GENERATION:
Sega regained the market by releasing their next-generation console, the Sega Mega Drive, which was released in Japan on October 29, 1988, in the US in August 1989 (renamed as the Sega Genesis) and in Europe in 1990, two years before Nintendo could release the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).
Sega extended the Mega Drive with the Mega CD/Sega CD, to provide more storage space for multimedia-based games that were then in the development community. Later, Sega released the 32X, which added some of the polygon-processing function ewll known in fifth-generation machines.
FITH GENERATION:
The first fifth generation consoles were the Atari Jaguar and the 3DO. Both of these systems were much more powerful than the SNES or Mega Drive (known as Genesis in North America); they were better at rendering polygons, could display more onscreen colors, and the 3DO used CDs that contained far more information than cartridges and were cheaper to produce. SIX SIXTH GENERATION:
This generation saw a move towards PC-like architectures in gaming consoles, as well as a move towards using DVDs for game media. This brought games that were both longer and more visually appealing.This generation also saw experiments with online console gaming both flash and hard drive storage for game data.
As of September 20, 2007, 120 million PlayStation 2 units have been shipped. This makes it the best selling console to date.
The Nintendo GameCube was Nintendo's fourth home video game console and the first console by the company to use optical media instead of cartridges. The Nintendo GameCube did not play standard 12 cm DVDs, instead employing smaller 8 cm optical discs.
Microsoft's Xbox was the company's first video game console. The first console to employ a hard drive right out of the box to save games, the Xbox blurred the line between PC and console gaming, as it had similar hardware specifications to a low-end desktop computer at the time of its release.
SEVENTH GENERATION:
The features introduced in this generation include using newer high-definition discs: Blu-ray Disc, utilized by the PlayStation 3, and HD DVD supported by the Xbox 360. Another new technology is to use the motion of the controller as input (as demonstrated by the Wii and the PS3), and understanding where the controller is pointing on the screen Microsoft's Xbox 360 was released on November 22, 2005. An HD DVD drive was once available as an accessory. The Xbox 360 was the first console with the ability to use wireless controllers out of the box. The Xbox Live service is the hallmark of the system, and the console can connect to the service via the Internet through a built-in ethernet port or a wireless accessory.

Romeo and Juliet CW (not finished)

In this essay i will be examining Act 3 Scene 1 of the play 'Romeo and Juliet' and why it is a pivotal scene with also, looking at the different themes used in the play.
'Romeo and Juliet' was written by william Shakespeare in arounf 1595, it is set in Verona, Italy.
The play focuses on a young couple and their families who have been in arguements for many years.
This tale is of a secret romance as the couple try to be together, this is a mixture of both romance and tradegy.
The most pivotal scene in this play is Act 3 Scene 1.
Tybalt wants to find Rome's best friend Mercutio.Tybalt ends up fighting Mercutio, while doing so, Romeo comes in and tries to break the fight up, but as he does so, Tybalt stabs Mercutio under the arm, which sends Romeo into revenge for the death of Mercutio and starts to fight with Tybalt, as soon as the fight begins it ends with a sudden attact from Romeo, Tybalt dies.
But then Romeo has to leave as the prince is well on his way.
Romeo is scared of the prince as at the begining, he was warned that if there was to be any more fights between the two rival families there would be serious consequences.
Although Each character in the play go through different changes, especially the character of Romeo, in all the scenes before this point , he was a sort of the 'lovey dovey' and romantic and all the things he had said to Juliet was very poetic and had a large range of alliteration, for example:
''my, lips, two, blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss''
This describes Romeo of having a romantic feel towards Juliet.
Though when mercutio comes to his death, thats when Romeo changes from the 'lovey dovey' boy to a more serious and angry man.
In some sense, he still does have some poetic vocabulary but does not use it in that romantic jester more of a dark and voilent jester such as:
''this day's black fate on moe days's doth depend, this but begins the woe others must end''
This shows Romeos More evil, so it shows us that the theme has become more dark then it to being light and fluffy with also changing Romeo from good to bad.
Before Act 3 Scene 1 the charcter of Mercutio, was a sort of a comedic character who has the advantage of making funny comments, for example towards Romeo and the dream he had:
''if love be rough with you be rough with love, prick love for pricking and you beat love down''
This helped steer away the seriousness from events which some took place at the begining .
But even though mercutio died, the comey never really left due to that back in Act 3 Scene 1 tybalt made a few sly remarks and cruel movements towards mercutio which, to Tybalt, was funny and entertaining:
