Class Wiki

So far I have looked at all the pages that are available to work and I didn't find anything that personally appealed to me, so I have been thinking of creating my own page. I want to create a page that discusses how new media is used in video games consoles since I love video games. I want to talk about the 5 C's of new media used in video games. I will further explain in this entry how they are used in video games.
Communication:
The current generation of consoles which include Xbox 360, Playstaion 3, and Wii, all use some kind of communication feature, They all allow players to communicate through voice, text and emoticons. They allow to send messages and share pictures and even have video conferencing.
Collaboration:
There are so many software applications that allow you to work together as a team and accomplish a task. There are a lot games that allow players to have a multiplayer experience. Whether it is online multiplayer or local multiplayer, the idea of working together with someone brings a feeling of accomplishing something together or failing at something together, which is much better than doing anything alone.
Community:
Each console have a huge community where they get to share their highest scores, their ranks on leader boards and even share personal created content. As more and more software and applications are put out, the bigger the community gets larger and larger.
Creativity:
Most software that is being put out by developers, allow users to be creative and have a more personal experience. After the players have created something unique they can share it with the community online.
Convergence:
All these application give a good sense of convergence where everything is merge together. Whether it is an experience of working together or adding friends to your friends list and sharing your personal created content with them. All the applications give a good sense of how new media is used in video game consoles.
