Intro

Color in gaming has many uses. Color can't the tone and the audience a game is made for. If you where to make a children's game with dark subdued color young children aren't going to want to play that over something Viva Pinata

But a teenager or college student isn't going to be attracted to Viva Pinata because it seem simple and unrefined. As where a like modern warfare two attract them because of it dark story and and high action.

Mario

Mario is one of the most recognized face of all time. Form his 1981 when he first appeared in very diffcult arcade game. People everywhere now who Mario is. but he is for children and before you freak out. Nintendo has kept it standards high for this series above all others. The blue and red insanity grabs your eye and holds its focus. The bright color in the game make allow all audiences to enjoy.

Pokemon

Pokemon the game that made little monsters cool. The game is full of bright vibrant colors. That attract children and lesser minds to the game. But once you play your hocked for life. So this game is colored to market reason.

Halo

Halo one of the best sell series of all time. So I am not going to go over the whole story. This Game is full of bright shiny objects. But enough of a story to keep us older people interested. This is the game that everyone is always going on about the younger kids playing and its not hard not see with the color code enemies run around in bright colored aromed. So in the case of Halo the colors really have nothing to do with the story, its more to do with the expanding the audience to sell more copies.

Gears Of War

Another best selling game of the last November of 2008. Gears Of War is set world of Seran beautiful and dangerous. You come too the world in the middle of a great war between the Locust (a group of under ground dwelling gun wheedling orc like creators that you know very little about) and the human ( who are just starting to recover from a great world war that left most of the planet in ruins but did leave the the humans under one flag). That's the basic story. This is a piece of concept art for the for the second game in the series. As you can see they use a lot deep reds and cool grays. They use only in a sutal way desaturated. They rarely use artificial light, as they prefer to keep areas darker by forcing the sun and leaving you low or very little light. It also help keep the story dark and focused.

Closing Statement

So, colors can effect games in many way. They can create a sense of fear or happiness with in games. As well as demonstrate the audience a game is for. Color can is also use to create the tone of the game though out its story. So, there is no dought in mind that gaming designer take there time when choosing the color sciems of there latest tildes.
