Action Games
Action games emphasize reaction time and hand??“eye
coordination. Action games can include titles as disparate
as Ba le?¬? eld 2, Grand The Auto IV, and Tetris.
Action as a genre o en overlaps with other genres;
for example, Grand The Auto IV is an action game,
but it is also a driving/racing game and an adventure
game. Tetris is an action game and a puzzle game.
Super Mario Galaxy is an action adventure game, and
Final Fantasy XII is considered to be a role-playing
action game. Action games are, without exception,
real time experiences, with an emphasis on time constraints
for performing physical tasks.
Strategy Games
Strategy games focus on tactics and planning as well as
the management of units and resources. The themes
tend to revolve around conquest, exploration, and
trade. Included in this genre are Civilization IV, Gary
Grigsby??™s World at War, and Risk. Originally, most strategy
games drew upon classic strategy board games and
adopted turn-based systems, giving players ample time
to make decisions; however, the popularity in the 1990s of
WarCra and Command & Conquer changed this, ushering
in the subgenre of real time strategy games.
