Video games play a larger role in people’s lives than one would like to think. The opening day sales of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 exceeded $310 million in the US, UK, and Canada alone (Grant 202), such large sales numbers demand the attention of the general public. Video games have evolved from arcade games and home consoles such as the Wii, Xbox360 and PS3. Games are now mobile, you can play a game anywhere on most cell phones. This type of evolution of games has brought them to masses with resounding success. With over 100,000 apps in the Android market and over 350,000 in the Apple’s app store, game developers both large and small want you to spend your $2.99 for their time killer game app. So far the, the general public is clicking the “buy” button.
