The game that I chose to play was Electrocity where you are in control of the city and things that are built in it. In the game the player needs to find sources of energy that could be coal, gas, or wind. Also the player needs to find a way to make money and keep the population strong so that the town will continue to grow. This could be done by building airstrips or ski fields. This all has to be accomplished in 150 turns meaning that you choose what you want to build and then choose next turn 150 times and then you are graded on how you run your town. When someone plays the game they have to base what they are doing on a few things. They have to make sure that the environment isn't being ruined by their efforts to use gas and coal for electricity. Also they need to meet the energy requiremnets to keep their town running. They have to keep the town populated while keeping the population happy. To have tourists come they need to builsd things that people can do in their t6own even though it takes a lot of energy which they need to produce as well. All of this costs money so to have the town run properly money needs to be made.

The game is won by completing the 150 turns. Then you are graded on your performance throughout the game. You are graded on the happiness of your town's population, your popularity, your security of supplie, and your environment. You get graded with a letter score for each of the four categories and then you get the average as a letter and number that is out of 100. The best grade is an A+ and 100, but you have still won the game even with a lower score. Someone would want to continue to play this game because it is quick and simple, but hard to get a great score on. A person might want to try out multiple strategies so that they would get the maximum amount of points possible.The motivation to get the best score possible will push people to play over and over again until they have reached their goal. People have many different reasons to play games and this is just one that is fairly common amoung most games.

The game that I chose to play was called Achievement Unlocked wher you are an elephant that has to earn various awards to finish the game. In this game the player has to various things that could include pressing a certain number or reaching a certain amount of deaths in the game. The awards are very random so you have toi test different things out while playing. You are timed and that is the only actual score that you have in the game. When playing you have to do anything and everything in order to actually win the game.

You have to earn all of the achievements in order to win and while you do the clock is ticking. That is the only thing you have to do so how you win is simple, but actually winning isn't as easy. When playing you have no idea what you are being asked to do so you have to travel aound the screen, press random keys, and do random things to earn achievements.

Someone would want to play this game because it gives you a simple goal, but the process of playing is still challenging. Also someone may want to have the best time possible which can only be done by learning what you need to do to earn the achievements and continuously playing. These thing make the game addicting and that is why someone who want to play it multiple times.
