Game: Alien Swarm
Alien Swarm is an online topdown shooter for the computer. Your goal is to make it to the end of each level without dying. Every person in the team has its own skills and weapons to clear obstacles in the level.
Killing Aliens
A fun part of the game is the killing of the aliens. It’s fun to kill bad guys in games. When you kill the aliens they also explode, which makes it even more fun.
Skills
There are 4 types of classes in the game. To need to combine the different types of classes have the greatest succes in a level. For example: The medic can heal other players and the technician can hack into computers. You can clear the levels without a technician, but you need to find a more difficult way to finish the level. It’s fun to work together in a team. You feel like you really did something for all of the players that other people can’t do, if you help with your special skills.
The different classes in the game
Interaction with other people
You need to talk to the other people in the game to clear the level in a good way. This interaction is really fun and a lot of times when 2 players are dead, they will just talk to each other to kill the time. The interaction makes it feel like you are realy playing a game with other people, even though you are not even in the same room or even the same country. You can also meet a lot of people that you wouldn’t normally meet.
