For my topic, I will be choosing imte number 4, “Games and Life”. There are a plethora of games in the world today that have lessons we can incorporate into our very lives. Unfortunately, the stigma exists that games are nothing more than a time-waster, and many individuals believe them to be a waste of time. For my project, I hope to explain, through the use of a number of games and articles, that the art of video games is more than just a way to entertain and waste the time of the player. Instead, the game can act as a medium for developing life skills and learning valuable lessons about the world.
Game: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
