2D and 3D

                                                                              2D

2D is a two dimensional game, which is where the game is flat and you cant see around the picture or cant look around a character and also doesnt go in to much depth and also you cant look in to a picture such as you would in a 3D game. 2D games are still used on consoles such as nintendo wii or nintendo ds and the iphone.

A popular 2D game which was released in the late 80s early 90s was sonic the hedgehog which was for me and addictive game about getting through the levels and seeing how far you can get until you would have no lives left.

as popular as 2d games were back in the 90s they are nothing compared to the games we have today which are three dimensional games, which means you can see more further in a game and things come towards you like bullets in shooting games.as well as having height and depth you can actually look in to a picture in 3 dimensinal games.The reason why games are so popular today are because of many reasons such as the graphics, the graphics are more realistic looking, and how much more entertaining games are now days. popular games such as wwe smackdown vs raw 2010 and call of duty and halo sold millions of copies worldwide, another reason for games being more popular is that they are more entertaining now with lots of choice games that we woudnt of had backs in early 90s.
