Qualitative Research (Game Reviews)

Image result for game reviewsGame Reviews:


When talking about 'Game Reviews' it's hard to get exact views from teenagers in Banstead as Banstead doesn't offer any game stores what so ever, this just means that if teenagers want to go and buy games they would potentially go and buy it elsewhere. The nearest game stores would be in Epsom and Sutton, gameshop.

When searching for 'Game Reviews' a common site which occurred was 'Metacritic' with this I was able to find 'Game Reviews' which would be relevant towards teenagers and share some perspective to games in which teenagers in Banstead could be playing. 

Here are some reviews for the game 'Resident Evil Zero HD':

Resident Evil Zero HD Remaster is easily the most unique of the old-school RE games and one that should be experienced if you're a fan of the series.

Resident Evil 0 is a worthy entry in the Resident Evil franchise even though it lacks the scares and originality. It's often overshadowed by the first game, but not giving it a spin would be a grave mistake.

Resident Evil Zero Remaster is exactly what the name implies. I had a blast returning to this entry, which is easily my least played in the series. It does enough different to help it stand on its own, even if some of those mechanics are archaic by today’s standards.






By looking at the results in which I found I was able to discover that people are generally enjoying playing this game, and why do they play it? Teenagers and anyone into playing video games generally do it because they are bored or have nothing else to do. I feel this research really can relate to teenagers in Banstead not just with this one game but with many, as they have nothing to do they are choosing to instead stare at a screen all day due to the fact that they cannot socialise in Banstead and perhaps some teenagers may not have the effort to travel to different locations on a day to day basis to 'socialise'. Also the game in which they are playing is violent and this could represent that due to boredom they are resorting to crime either in game and or out of game.
