Genre collage

This is my genre collage l made in class l have used cutouts from lots of different magazines and put them in the appropriate genre War, Fantasy, Sci-fi and Horror. Some of these images are not from games though a few of them are from very famous movies like Star Wars which fits into the Sci-fi genre or The Thing which is a horror film.

War-Probably the most obvious genre to recognize this can be set in a real or fictional war between two or more opposing forces. This genre can mix very well with the other genres.

Fantasy- These games are usually set in a predetermined timeline which may include fictional creatures such as dragons, trolls etc. 

Sci-fi- Almost always set in the future and usually takes place in space. Sci-fi creates a story based around aliens and spaceships anything that has a futuristic element to it. This genre can also be easily mixed with the other genres.

Horror- This genre is designed to do one thing scare the crap out of you or at least try to. This genre can be easilly blended with the other genres also. For example Dead Space is both Sci-fi and Horror, Gears of War is both war and a bit of horror.
