GAME COVER ANALYSISLauren Eccles

Gears of War

Gears of War

These images suggest you will be the leader of your squad but will fight with them. It also suggests you will be a 3rd person shooter as in the

images you are looking over a characters shoulder. It also shows you there will be shooting, death and bad guys.

Gears of War

This suggests your playin as a hero which is normally titled to a solider or someone who is in the battle fighting. From this you know your not going to

be a leader, you will be a solidier fighting like the others.

Gears of War

The skulls represents death and the colour red represents blood so

just from the logo I know that there is going to be blood and

death and gore.

Gears of War

The M stands for Mature which means this game is for a mature audience and not for children. From the cover I know this game

is probably rated 15+ and is most likely aimed at older teenagers.

Gears of War

The title tells us that this is a war game. Also the font of the writing is faded slightly like the logo, they look old and scratched and dirty which is

probably symbolising that your going to be playing dirty and not just standing back not getting your

hands dirty.

Super Mario

Super Mario

From these images I think the game is a 3rd person character game as you

can see all of your character and it could also

be a strategy game because as it says you have to find your way to

the goal pole.

Super Mario

The cover image suggests this game is for children and teenagers as it is bright and

full of colour, also the characters are dressed up as animals which children love.

Also the characters are smiling and look happy which suggests a fun and happy

game.

Super Mario

This game is rated E which stands for Everyone, meaning anyone can play this game, there is no age range. It states that there is mild cartoon violence which to a

child isn’t harmful or inappropriate.

The cover image suggest that this game would be for children or

young teenagers as it is colourful and has images which are used

to attract children such as rainbow, and animals.

Katamari Damacy

This Game is rated E which means anyone can play so there isn’t an age range on it, so this game is targeted at any age range mainly a younger audience.

Katamari Damacy

The instructions and images on the back are very simple, clear and easy to

understand which suggests that children can play it and it is easy

enough for anyone to play. From the images it looks like a strategy, action game as there is damage and logic.
