Classification of games.


Strike Suit Zero:
The game strike suit zero is a game which has a main focus on Ilinx (Vertigo) and minor Mimicry (Simulation) elements as the game is a space mech fighter game which the over all focus of avoiding missiles and completing missions that are focused on  defending hits from a friendly ship, or taking out a number of enemy. The game also looks at mimicry as a point of simulating a space battle (as best we can with the technology and fiction we have of this time era). Whist a add on to the game could make the game Paidia, the main game and core of it is focused on being Ludus, where set missions are the only way to progress in the game, but how you go about completing them meaning it has a minor Paidia, and freedom to play.

Elements of the game make it more of a simulation by adding the AI to do battle formations and moves but the lack of space knowledge but from current technology can guess from Airplane Maneuver and "Dog Fights"; This also improves on the Ilinx side of the game as moving and skill of flying.

Magicka:

Magicka is a game that is a co-op fantasy game that is built to make the player interaction much more damaging to the players (for example Players attacks can connect to other players by accident resulting in a damage or death).

The game seems to show a large amount of Alea and Agôn which is because the chance you forget a spell from it's complex spell mechanic, you may end up blowing up your team mate, or healing you enemy. The game also applies to Agôn as it survival of the fittest, every magic user for them self as they all blast fire, earth, water, thunder, arcane, life, and shielding. Whilst playing the communication (or lack of) will effect the players choices, how they play, and if success or fail.
