Favorite Games

Favorite Video Games Hello my name is Jason Hoil and I am computer scientist at Prairie View A&M University  who has a passion for gaming.  http://www.pvamu.edu/cs/. This blog will go over my favorite video games and their impact on me and the world. Video games have been an inspiration for me and are the reason why I decided to go into computer science. I wanted to code them and learn how to make them so the ones I make can have a great impact on society. The games I mention here have had the impact that I want to make.

Fighting games have always had an big impact in society it is one of the major competitive events in the world. Evo was made which is the biggest fighting game tournaments in the world where people go to compete for a big prize money in multiple fighting games. Part of the reason it is so big is because of the skill level required to perform well players must master positioning inputs and timing in order to beat their opponent. One of the biggest fighting game and my personal favorite Super Smash Bros is a huge phenomenon in and outside of the gaming community the game brings together famous video game icons to fight each other including fan favorites from across the world. It is known for uniting many player across the world to celebrate their gaming  icons.    http://evo.shoryuken.com/

The Tony Hawk Pro Skater series has had a big impact on not only gaming but the world of extreme sports. These games let you play as real life skaters going across the globe doing challenges.Many people who picked up these games began to start getting into skateboarding and who become pro or just causally skate. The games always showed of skating in a cool way with videos of pros showcasing the new moves they made up for the game in real life. The games inspired me to start to take an interest in skateboarding and other extreme sports like bike riding, and scooter boarding.
