History and Analysis by Ravelle Leacock
I am going to discuss the impact of the gaming industry today, and the innovations which have paved the way for easier accessibility for the unconventional gamer. I shall be asking the question: (Casual Gamer: True or False)
Within the essay I will be identifying the notion of fads that gaming may have had, and whether those fads still exist.
