America's Army vs. Scrabble
I have chosen America's Army from the text and Scrabble for the game to compare to America's Army. America's Army is a free online game where the users are simulated in a computated situations that are supposed to give realistic perspective on fighting the terrorists. As for Scrabbles, most people have basic knowledge on how to play the game. with the given letters, the player is to create a word on the board. However these two games require to incorporate different senses of the body to play them. First of all, though it is not required, America's Army has sound effects that players may be sensitive about. sound of gunshots and simulated people screaming and giving out orders is one of the reasons why some people play such simulated games. on the other hand, Scrabble does not require any hearing to play the game. They both require the usage of language; not in the same way though. In America's Army , according to the text, language in the sense of communicaiton is crucial. Because there may be multiple players, up to 32 players, while speaking is not required, being able to use language to communicate with each other is very important. Scrabble, though it is a game of language, bans communicating with other players unless through the spelled out words on the board. It does not require speaking to communicate.
