Thursday 11th November: Research

During the past week I have been researching some more on game front covers. I went into shopping centres to look at games and game magazines and realised that some games have different covers depending on which games console it is realeased on.

For example, "The Simpsons Game" has a different front cover for the Xbox 360 than the front cover on the Nintendo Wii. The game is exactly the same on both consoles, but the front covers are a little bit different with different characters in different poses.

As you can see all of these covers are from different countries because of the different ratings in the bottom left corners of the covers, but this doesn't necessarily mean they are all different ratings. Although in some countries they will be different age ratings due to their laws but these three game covers are all the same age rating.
