Textual analysis

The texts that i have decided to look in for my investigation is Games master magazine and IGN website which focuses on the our generation of gaming and gives us a insight on the latest games and what we can expect from them.
For these texts i will be looking at the historical contexts of my investigation and comparing the way gaming has enhanced over the years and how postmordern can a certain games get until it is literally gimmicking realty, such as grand theft auto, call of duty, battlefield, uncharted etc.

For the two texts the games that i will be focusing on will be Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty, the reasons why i am choosing these games is because these games maintain concepts and activities and you could do in real life, for example, call of duty is set in different location such as iran and Afganistan , these location really exist so does the guns that appear in the game.  Grand theft auto on the other hand is set in america, the games is a freestyle game, you can got to the bar, play pool, shopping etc, the buildings that is in the game is mirror image to the buildings that in real life, for example the empire state building, the cyrstler building and the statue of liberty.
